Thanks for the prompt reply.

can u tell from which user do we need to login that is root or <sid>adm,also do we need to run root.sh

Thanks

Use user sidadm, it is a good idea to do a saproot.sh SID as root afterwards. Files with special permissions are icmbnd, saposcol, br*.

[markus_doehr2]

Do NOT use adm can´t change the owner of saposcol and icmbnd to user root.

Additionally don´t forget to update the IGS on 7.00 releases (download igsexe_*.SAR) and unpack that also.

stopsap, clean shared memory

stopsap r3
saposcol -k
ps -ef|grep sapstartsrv
kill <sapstartsrv_pids>
cleanipc <inst_nr>

backup your kernel

cd /sapmnt/<SID>
cp -pr exe exe.001

extract new kernel

cd exe
SAPCAR -xvf <YOUR_DW.SAR>

startsap
