Hi everybody,

Currently I have UNICODE 144 patch. Do you have any idea which Kernel version to get. I'm using Windows Server 2008 with MSSQL DB 2005 and I cant start instances. I think the problem is that the kernel version needs an upgrade.

Can anyone tell me where I can find the NTCLUSTER.SAR file?

My cluster is failing over on its own and the solution is the dll's included on that sar file, please help.

o SAP KERNEL 64-BIT

o SAP KERNEL 64-BIT UNICODE

From this point kernel needs to be identified based on your processor architecture.

For example if i am going with 64 BIT unicode for x86_64 with WIn2k3 & ORc Database the following steps will be there

download the corresponding files (eg. disp+work package and other selected files OR the latest SAPEXEDB.SAR & SAPEXE.SAR) from sapnet (alias PATCHES) and store them in a temporary directory...unpack the files using the latest SAPCAR:

> sapcar -xvf <file>.sar

stop your sap system (stopsap r3) and the corresponding sap services; stop saposcol and (if running) saprouter....make a backup of your entire EXE directory; copy all files from the temporary directory over to \sapmnt\<SID>\exe and overwrite the existing flles...start saprouter, start the sap system...
