Kernel upgrade - 640 patch level 247 - subsequent patches needed

Hi community,
I recently upgraded the kernel of our system SAP ECC 5.0 to kernel release 640 patch level 247
I used the the two files EXE and EXEDB as I usually do in this cases.
Unfortunately this kernel is affected with the problem described in note 1239685, which is critical for us.
To solve the problem SAP recommends upgrading kernel to patch level 252, which is not present in my files, but is present in the single disp+work package, which is level 273
What is the correct procedure in this case? I have to unpack only the disp+work package or all the archives listed in the download place?
Regards,
Valerio

Dear Valerio,
The packages SAPEXE.SAR and SAPEXEDB.SAR contain a complete set of database independent (SAPEXE.SAR) and database dependent (SAPEXEDB.SAR) executables. A kernel patch is delivered as a dw.SAR package. It is sufficient to extract the content of the dw.SAR into DIR_EXECUTABLE (normally /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run for a 6.xx system on UNIX). Of course, this should be done while the system is down.
Best Regards,
Tim

Can I restore SAP GUI patch level 5 from Patch level 7

Hi,
I updated SAP GUI 710 from patch level 5 to level 7, is it possible to revert this change to patch level 5 again, as our business requirement is only patch level 5.
How to restore it back?
Also, what changes made by SAP in patch level 7 from 5, 3 etc?
Thanks

Hi Martin
Thanks for answering my queries.
Reason for going back to patch 5 is to maintain all client of production system at one level.
Certainly using higer patch level will also includes all functionalities of lower level.
But, did someone try to load patch 5 on patch 7, does it work?
Becoz, I am in production, so not in very good position to take this risk.
What you ppl say?
There should be some way to restore your GUI to back date, is it!, like one we do to restore our windows machine.

Updating ST-PI to patch level 8

Hi,
We have the solutions tools plugin 2005_1_46c installed on one of our systems at patch level 2.Now we want it to be updated to the latest patch level ie., 8.So can we directly apply the latest patch level or do we need to apply all the patches in a sequential manner.
Regards
Balaji

Patches need to be applied in sequence. As mentioned before always read the prerequisites and the Note related to the patch to be applied.

KERNEL UPGRADE 159 please help me

hi gurus
ı havent doing kernel upgrade before ?
could anyone explain me kernel upgrade where can ı download latest kernl patch
please help me...

Hi,
Follow below process.
1. Download the .CAR files from SAPNet .
2. Log on to www.service.sap.com/patches .
3. On the screen click on download support packages & patches.
4. Download all the files from Database Independent & your database node and upload the same to the server where the patches have to be applied.
Download below files
SAPEXE---.SAR -DATABADE INDEPENDENT
SAPEXEDB---.SAR -for your specific database
5. Log on to the server and take a backup of existing Run directory.
6. Stop SAP.
7. Stop SAPOSCOL
8. Go to Usr\sap\sid\sys\exe\run through Command prompt and UNCAR the above .CAR Files with the command car u2013xvf< path where the .CAR files are located> < .CAR file name> replacing the old Executables..
9.Restart the Server.
10.SAP.
11.Check for Transactions SM21, SAPDBA check (OS Level) and DB13, ST22, ST11 (dev_ms, dev_disp) .
Kernel Upgrade Procedure with Unix as Operating system.
Check whether the Unix is 32 bit or 64 bit operating system and download the relevant kernel from the Service Marketplace.
Download the Database depenedent and Database independent packages.
Or Order a CD containing patches from Service Market Place.
A) Prior to importing the new R/3 kernel from the CD/Downloaded files proceed as follows:
1. When you upgrade to the new kernel, problem with the statistics collector might occur. Therefore, you need to delete the stat file. To prevent data loss, start the statistics collector manually (Transaction SE38, report RSSTAT83). In Transaction ST03 or ST03N, check that the statistics are updated for all active instances in the system.
2. Stop the SAP System (stopping the database is not required).
3. Stop saposcol.
$cd /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/exe/run
./saposcol -k
$rm saposcol
B) Extract the new R/3 kernel (Binary patches) from CD/Download from Service Marketplace:
1. Branch to directory /sapmnt/<SAPSID>/exe.
2. Back up the old R/3 kernel with the following commands:
$mkdir oldkernel
$cp -p * oldkernel
$su - root
$chown <sapsid>adm /sapmnt/<SAPSID>/exe/*
$exit
The directory oldkernel will be deleted during the next regular upgrade.
C) Unpack CAR/SAR files in a folder and Copy them to following directory /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/exe/run.
Logon as user <sapsid>adm and execute the following commands:
$su - root
$cd /sapmnt/<SAPSID>/exe
$ sapcar u2013xvf *.CAR
$exit
D) Restart the System in following order
1. Start saposcol
cd /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/exe/run
./saposcol u2013l
2. Start Database
3.Start the SAP System.
Read note-19466 for more info.

[Solved by itself] Loading module aha152x failed after kernel upgrade

Hi all,
I have a ten-year old Epson GT5500 scanner plugged onto an ISA card.
This was quite hard to get it working under linux but it worked well untill yesterday last update.
I have the following error output when trying to load aha152x module:
# modprobe aha152x
FATAL: Error inserting aha152x (/lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/aha152x.ko): No such device
I have the following line in /etc/modules.conf:
alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x options aha152x aha152x=0x140,9
How can I get the scanner back to work?
Thanks.

No. The configuration to get the scanner working under linux comes from a how-to and remains valid after kernel upgrades -- until yesterday. It does not need any module building, only loading.

Kernel upgrade to patch level 196, ECC 5.0, MSCS resource issue.

Hi,
We have 3 system landscape DEV, QAS & PRD on win 2003, oracle 10G, ECC 5.0.
Our PRD system is on MSCS with CI on node A and DB on node B.
Recently I successfully upgrade kernel off DEV & QAS system to patch level 196 of stack 18.
When I tried to upgrade the kernel of PRD system one of the cluster resource drive (The drive contains the usr folder) is automatically moving from Node A to Node B and I got the error u201Capplication server shut downu201D. We donu2019t have additional application server in the landscape.
Please suggest the solution.

Kernel Upgrade Release 640 Patch 175

Dear Basis Gurus,
We are planning to upgrade SAP Kernel for Release 640 and Patch 109.
We have referred oss note Note 1027100 - CST Patch Collection 08 2007 and this note suggest to go for patch level :
4.6D: 2307
6.40:   171
7.00:    98
I have checked the service market place and I didn't find the Patch Level 171. Instead I foud Patch level 175.
1) Can you please let me know if since Patch Level 171 is not the latest, can I got for Patch level 175 ?
2) Can you also please let me know which files I need to download other than SAPEXE_175-10004469.SAR and SAPEXEDB_175-10004468.SAR ?
Should I need to download dw_193-10004469.sar and R3trans_192-10004469.SAR and tp_193-10004469.sar ? If you see this has the patch level 193 and for R3trans it is 192 ?
How to decide for Patch Level 175, which other files can go ?
Do we really need to replace other files like R3trans, tp ? or only those in SAPEX*.SAR ?
3) What would be the correct approach ? I am planning to replace kernel 1st in Development system, then Consoldiation system and then Test system and then finally Production system ? is this correct approach ?
Any prompt help on this will be highly appreciated ?
Thanks
Best Regards
CK

Kernel patch level upgrade

our kernel patch level is 221
now i want upgrade patch latest non unicode 64bit kernel for DB2 database
E:\usr\sap\QAS\SYS\exe\nuc\NTAMD64
E:\usr\sap\QAS\DVEBMGS00\exe
which one correct directory..

Dear Subhash.Chandra.
You writed the patch files have to be copied both directories.
I'm finding the official document or manual of it.
I updated igs patch on one server(ecc 6.0 ides).
I copied the file to one directory(/sapmnt/SID/exe). and I found igs patch was OK(transaction : sisg).
And the the other directory(/usr/sap/SID/DV~~/exe) has same file automatically without copy.
Second Case,
I updated igs patch on our ecc dev server.
I can't update igs version with copy to only one directory.
So I copied remained directory. Then I found igs patch updated successfully.
Thank you.

Kernel Patch level in JAVA Engin

Hello All,
I have planned to upgrade the kernel for JAVA engine (Version 640) and checked for the patch level. It appears as release 640 and i am not able to find the patch of the kernel(tried in system info page and jalunch -v option). Later I came through a thread in this forum which stated there is no patch level for Java Kernel. Is this right? If this is right then how do we upgrade the kernel for Java engine
Kindly clarify
Regards,
Anand

Hi,
In Java, kernel are identified in SPS not in terms of patch level like in ABAP systems. so whatever will your SP stack level of your portal, the same will be the kernel level of your portal.
So if you want to upgrade your portal kernel alone, you cant. You have to upgrade your whole Portal SPS to take your portal on new kernel and SP stack level. Latest SPS Available in the market place is 24 as of today.
With Regards,
Saurabh

DB space history not updating in DB02 after upgrading to NW7 patch level 11

We upgraded our NW04 system to NW7 patch level 11 and now when I go into DB02 and click on DB space history there is no new data since the upgrade. SAP_Collector_For_PerfMonitor runs every hour without error. I've checked st22 and there are no shortdumps and I can't find any timeout issues. Ideas?

You may need to a newer release of saposcol. Saposcol comes with your kernel, if you haven't updated your kernel recently that could be a conflict with your saposcol.

How to determine 640/J2EE Startup Framework Binary Patch Level?

Hi All,
We are running BI ABAP with Java Add-in on WAS 640/SUSE/Oracle.
In the ABAP world, there are many options for determining the current kernel patch level. Disp+work -v, SYSTEM->STATUS, etc..
How do I determine the patch level of the J2EE startup framework (ie: jlaunch, jcontrol, etc..)? If I run these commands with '-version', I get a patch level of 0. From System Information, the Cluster Kernel Version is 6.40 PatchLevel 105424.313.
What I am trying to determine is if I have the binaries that map to the latest applied SP (18). Do I need to download J2EERTOS18.SAR and apply the bits or has that already been done? Or is the current patch level for the bits fro the J2EERTOS14.SAR file? Etc...
Any tips/suggestions?
Thanks much,
Greg

Can you run different kernel patch levels?

We have a PA-RISC central instance, and an Itaniuim dialog instance. They are have different versions of the 640 kernel.
Can we connect the dialog instance to the central instance?
Thanks,
D.

Hi D.,
I've got a different patch level with a HP-UX CI + Windows DI with 46D kernel and it worked fine, but now those Win DI are over...
Sorry, I haven't see this note, but as I said before you must maintain a similar patch level.
Now, reading this note, I can't suggest you to do it.
Regards,
JC Llanes.
