Kernel permissions, kernel rights

[Former Member]

Hi

I am upgrading my kernel, but I the actual kernel rights is a mess, so I must re-configure.

Could anyone help me with the file permissions?

any note?

thanks!

if you're on Unix:

cd /usr/sap/<SID>/exe

chown -Rf <sid>adm:sapsys

chmod -Rf 755 *

./saproot.sh

this should put them right.

Hi,

Markus has given the solution , that's about it.

Just one note, if you have a /sapmnt/<SID>/exe

you better extract your kernel in /sapmnt/<SID>/exe , since SAP server will startup using the kernel files in /sapmnt/<SID>/exe instead of the usual /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run directory.

This issue is specific to NW2004 and above.

During startup SAP Application Server would use the kernel files from /sapmnt/<SID>/exe and using the sapcpe program to sync the kernel with the /usr/sap/<SID>SYS/exe/run directory.

So as a thumb rule, if you have /sapmnt/<SID>/exe.. always extract the kernel to that directory and NOT in /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run

Hi,

Which version are you upgrading to and what is your existing kernel version?
