Kernel Upgradation Issue

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I m trying to do kernel Support package version upgrade to version 175 .My system is 32 bit , SAP 4.7 and DB is mssql. I downloaded the correct version of both DB dependent an dDB independent from Service market place.

I had followed the Uncar the .SAR files steps .Then i copied all the files from the tmp folder and copied them in "run" folder.Then i started SAP services and view the system status is not been changed .In OS level also i checked the .EXE files the version remains the same its not updated to new version.

Kindly suggest me .

Hello Rakesh Venkataramanan,

Please review SAP Note 19466 for more details about Kernel patch update.

Hope this helps!

Hi

I assumes that you have done all the correct options.

Please once again try this step (may be this cold work)

- Copy the exes to a new folder in \usr\sap\<SID>\sys\exe

- Stop SAP and MSSQL Server

- Stop all the services in services.msc related to SAP and MSSQLServer

- Rename the original kernel folder as run_old and this new folder as run.

- Restart the system.

Hi Deepak ,

I did the same process once again but it is been changed once i restart my server.

I created a folder run and changed the name of the existing folder as run_old. But the result is the same.

Kindly suggest me some tips.

Hi,

Check if you have a similar line like :

Start_Program_00 = immediate $(DIR_CT_RUN)\sapcpe$(FT_EXE) pf=$(_PF)

in the START profile.

If yes, it means that the kernel files are copied from DIR_EXECUTABLE to DIR_CT_RUN.

You have so to update the kernal files in the DIR_EXECUTABLE directory, which is usually something like <drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\run

Hi ,

In my start profile tis is there ;

Start_Program_01 immediate $(DIR_EXECUTABLE)\$(_CP) pf=$(DIR_PROFILE)\I05_DVEBMGS00_ides01

I had copied the Uncar files in run folder only . But after restarting the files version is been changed to older version itself its not been updated,
