Lodsapkrn - patching Solution Manager 7.1

Hello Experts,
Need some help here. I am trying to understand changes in the method for kernel patching in solution manager 7.1 which seems to have changed from method for netweaver 7.0
1. LODSAPKRN. This command is obsolete. System indicated to use APYSIDKRN instead. How do these 2 command differ?
2. With LODSAPKRN, we used to specify 1 kernel library (SAPSIDUC) to be updated with the SAPEXE and SAPEXEDB that are specified in the parts file. However, kernel library is now split into 2 libraries; SAPSIDM#00 and SAPSIDIND. Do we run the APDSIDKRN separately, once for SAPEXE to patch SAPSIDIND and the other for SAPEXEDB to patch SAPSIDM#00? Is this correct?
Thank you folks.
Best Regards,
Wi

Hello Wi,
as Volker already mentioned the SAP Kernel handling on IBM i has significantly changed with the introduction of the SAP Kernels 7.10 and even more with SAP Kernel 7.20. Hereu2019s a short list of the enhancements from customer perspective:
1) Beginning with SAP Kernel 7.10 the kernel is maintained u201Cas oneu201D through APYSIDKRN. Creating/Patching the kernel library with LODSAPKRN/APYR3FIX and adjusting the kernel directory with APYSAP afterwards is history. This single integrated kernel administration command simplifies kernel administration and reduces the possibility of kernel library/directory inconsistencies to nearly zero.
2) Beginning with SAP Kernel 7.10 the kernel administration can happen while the system is up u2013 the new kernel will be distributed and activated at system restart (keywords: DIR_CT_RUN, sapcpe). This is default for SAP NetWeaver 7.10 and higher and optional for SAP NetWeaver before 7.10, SAP Solution Manager 7.1 and SAP Business Suite Solutions based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 when using the SAP Kernel 7.20. This new feature reduces the downtime for consistent SAP Kernel maintenance.
3) Beginning with SAP Kernel 7.20 the shared kernel library usage has been significantly reduced (O4PRTLIB, OS4APILIB) and the SAP initial program (R3INLPGM) has been simplified. This increases the overall kernel and tools consistency since patching these resources for process X does not longer affect a well-working process Y.
I am about to prepare a short presentation on this topic to shed some more light into this. I will post the link to it here when it is available.
Best Regards, Christian Hölters, SAP on IBM i development.

    The job log when we executed the T-code /nSA_PROJECT_UPGRADE  the background job was unable to compare for the Node u2018 IBM toolsetu2019  and Tab u2018structureu2019.
    For adjust to original functionality the tab refers to the u2018No version for structure elementu2019.
    For this type of error we have to implement the SAP Note 1276846

  • Configure ECC 6.0 EHP4 in SAP Solution Manager SP15

    Hi all,
    I just upgrade a system from R/3 4.6c to SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4 NW 7.01. I want to configure the system in SAP Solution Manager just upgraded to SP15. But I don't understand how I must to configure the system and to assign a logical component. It seems not to be the same possibilities between System configuration and Logical configuration.
    For system configuration I can choose product version EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 / NW7.01 and a full list of usage type
    For logical component I only found product SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE and a very short list of version and usage type (??)
    Is someone know if it is normal or if it is necessary to patch solution manager ?
    Is ther a documentation existing to configure ERP EHP4 systems ??
    Thanks for your answer.
    Regards
    Gerard

    I have not seen any document to configure EHP4 systems specfically.
    I do not think, Solman SP15 should create any problem in that. But, since you are upgrading your landscape to EHP4, so why leave solman to SP15 instead of Ehp1 (SP18/19/20)...

    Hi Kiran,
    You would need to proceed by moving to SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 with required SP level.
    For this, you would need to download the complete ABAP and JAVA support pack stacks for the target SP level.
    Then, you can update the Java stack using JSPM and ABAP stack using SAINT
    Please check SMP for guides. The following guide me also be helpful.

              Thanks&Regards

    Hello
    Solman will not implement the files you can download the files using Solman. You need to move the downloaded files to application server and implement them for that you need to configure MoPZ
    You can go to server market place service.sap.com/RKT in that select Solution manager.
    You will have to select the product as solution manager 7.0 and in technology consultants and system administrator you will find the configuration documentations in for for SIM files.
    You can use that and learn how to configure the optimizer on the system.
    Then you can download the files and implement the same.

  • Applying BW Patch on Solution Manager

    Hello Experts,
    I have few doubts:
    1. How to apply BW patch (BI 7.0)on Solution Manager(3.0 or higher)
    2. If we apply BW patch on SM, how does it differentiate from BW system(Data Model, Reporting etc)
    3. Are there any websites or pdf files for SM with BI Patch.
    4. And, why do we need to apply apply BI patch on Solution Manager?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind Regards,
    Thangjam

    Hi Thangjam,
    I have only some infos for SolMan 4.0:
    - there is no difference between patching a 'stadalone BI' and a BI that is part of SolMan
    - of coruse, you have to make sure that the patch queues are consistent (CRT: ST)
    - for E2E Diagnostics, InfoCubes are used to store performance data, etc. (as of SolMan 4.0 SP 13)
    Kind regards,

  • ABAP sneak preview (NSP) patch without Solution Manager after patch 11

    I'm wondering if there is any plan to allow us ABAP sneak preview users to patch our system beyond patch level 11. So far I kept my NSP system up-to-date by patching it regularly. But now the Solution Manager is required to download the current patch level 12.
    Is there any SolMan sneak preview available? Is there any add-on to upgrade the NSP itself into a SolMan system? - After all SolMan runs on 2004s ...
    I noticed that trial version with SP12 is out - does this mean that the new strategy is to replace with each and every SP the Sneak-Preview-System? If there wasn't the lengthy (and often painful) setup I wouldn't mind. On top one would have to export and re-import all developments and configurations one would like to keep. Can you (SAP) not simply provide for us non-SolMan-havers the Service Packs as a simple and much more compact download (compared to the entire NSP download) ?

    Hi George,
    Try to delete the registry keys mentioned here Re: How to uninstall Netweaver 7.0 ABAP trial version ?
    To use it, run the clean up tool for the registry, press the radio button for 'Uninstall Service', enter 'NSP' for SID and '00' for the number.
    This will only delete the registry entries for the application server, not for the database.
    To access the DB via MMC, the service <b>SAP DB WWW</b> must be started. To do so, go to 'Start'->'Run...' and enter 'net start sapdbwww'. After the service is started, you can use the database manager within SAP MMC or just browse to  <a href="http://localhost:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=000">http://localhost:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=000</a>, which will actually use the same HTML UI.
    Anyway, if the uninstallation runs normal, you shouldn't have any problems with registry keys.
    Try this:
    - Unistall system and DB
    - Use the registry clean tool
    - Delete the folder of InstallShield (usually C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Universal\SAP)
    - Reboot your system
    - Start the installation again without running any application (no firewall, antivirus etc.)
    Hope this helps.

    Go manually to http://service.sap.com/patches and select all you need there and put them in your download basket.
    Next start the MO and use the 4.0 system and step forward until you reach "confirm" - you will see all support packages your previously selected and you can confirm. After that you can cancel the maintenance task alltogether and download either directly from your download basked or use the Download Manager.
    You need the MO task JUST for confirming them, to select them and put them in your Download basked, nothing is necessary.
