mismatch of version of external and kernel dp lib

[Former Member]

Hello All

i'm trying to uppgrade a was abap kernel 7.00 from version 133 to 16 on db2 udb database.

I use the files:

SAP Kernel 700 64-Bit, Unicode, AIX64bit - FOR ECC60 Landscape:

SAPEXEDB_146-20000977.SAR

SAPEXE_146-20000978.SAR

lib_dbsl_156-20000977.sar

dscdb6up_2-20000977.sar

R3ldctl_17-20000977.SAR

R3load_86-20000977.SAR

R3szchk_15-20000977.SAR

librfc_34-20000978.sar

R3trans_159-20000978.SAR

tp_157-20000978.sar

But the dispatcher is failing down during the sapstart with the

following error message:

"kernel runs with dp version 232000(ext=109000) (@(#) DPLIB-INT-VERSION-232000-UC)

Do i need to update other .sar files from sapnet ?

Did somebody have the same error ?

Thanks in advance .

Best Regards.

Hi,

This error looks like the new kernel files were not updated successfully. Did you stop the SAP system when performing the kernel update? Also check the dev trace if there is any shared memory errors like ShmDelete. If yes, I suggest you to reboot the server to clear the memory and then retry the kernel upgrade.

Best regards,

Warren

We had this same issue today and folks that are not familiar with sapcpe can really be at a loss on this error, so I'm updating some of these older threads for clarification.

When sapcpe is active, you actually have two copies of the SAP kernel on your Unix file system:

/sapmnt/SID/exe - Which is probably where you update your kernel (this version was at 201)

(aka: /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run)

/usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS##/exe - A location many don't know about (this version was at 133)

Typically, sapcpe keeps these two locations identical and there are no mismatch errors but if anything happens to your configuration, the next time you update your kernel in /sapmnt/SID/exe, the replication does not occur and the mismatch happens as seen in (dev_disp or dev_disp.new):

***LOG Q00=> DpSapEnvInit, DPStart (18 22336) [dpxxdisp.c 1283]

DwSLCheckVersion: shared library version mismatch:

shared lib "dw_xml.sl" version 133 <-> kernel version 201

shared lib "dw_xtc.sl" version 133 <-> kernel version 201

shared lib "dw_stl.sl" version 133 <-> kernel version 201

shared lib "dw_gui.sl" version 133 <-> kernel version 201

shared lib "dw_mdm.sl" version 133 <-> kernel version 201

This is made even more confusing because if you do an "ldd /sapmnt/SID/exe/disp+work" the results will tell you that it's reading those files from where you just patched your kernel. That ldd is incorrect, however. If the two copies of the kernel are not in sync, some files will indeed be loaded from /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS##/exe which will not match the other files that are loading from /sapmnt/SID/exe and you'll have the mismatch error.

Short Term: You can delete the contents in /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS##/exe and then everything is loaded from /sapmnt/SID/exe.

Long Term: Correct the configuration of sapcpe so that it keeps everything in sync and you don't have dualing kernels. (See note 1104735)

Thanks Richard - your post helped me out. I first tried deleting the contents of the /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGSnn/exe directory but that didn't work for me - sap failed to start at all. I restored the contents of the directory and then just copied the new kernel files over the top, as per what I had already done in /sapmnt/SID/exe, and then SAP started ok.

Hi,

Please paste the contents of sapcpe.log

Hello,

The kernel in

/usr/sap/DC2/SYS/exe/run/

and

/sapmnt/DC2/exe

should be of the same version, that could be the cause of this problem.

Hi ,

lrwxrwxrwx 1 dc2adm sapsys 15 Mar 16 22:15 dbg -> /sapmnt/DC2/exe

lrwxrwxrwx 1 dc2adm sapsys 24 Mar 16 22:15 run -> /usr/sap/DC2/SYS/exe/dbg

It's a link ...

[former_member185954]

Hello,

In that case,

Check the configuration of SAPCPE according to the link here:
