Mixed SAP kernel versions on application servers

Hello.
I'm looking for a Note asserting that mixed versions of the sap kernel on application servers of a single installation are not supported.
E.g. the Central Instance has kernel Version 185 and application server 221 ....
Can anybody help me finding an official source?
Thanks a lot.
Dino

Hi,
What is the purpose of a confirmation for such an obvious fact ?
Do you want an official confirmation that you can't run unix executables on a windows server ?
PS : Don't try to dry your cat in the microwave oven ! There is no official OSS note about it !

SAP Kernel version

Hello,
For Kernel 6.40, there are 2 types available now:
- SAP Kernel 6.40
- SAP Kernel 6.40 EX2
I believe the EX2 type was recently released by SAP.
Now, for Windows, both these types (normal and EX2) are applicable.
We have to perform a Kernel upgrade.
Which one should we use? normal or EX2?
Moreover, whats the difference between the 2 types?
Thanks.

I checked.
It says:
kernel release 640
kernel make variant 640_REL
So, I guess, this is normal version.
Also, I found Note 1058988 - 640_EX2 Kernels
Thanks.

SAP Kernel Version in SAP Component

Hi to everyone
I have a simple question.
When you have an Early Watch Alert report. There is a column about "SAP Components". There is "PI_BASIS", SAP_BASIS, SRM_PLUS.
SAP_ABA, SAP_AP, SRM_SERVER, ST-A/PI, ST-PI.
Which component is referred to SAP Kernel?
Is SAP_BASIS, or which one?
Regards

Hi,
Kernel and components are seperate entities.
SAP kernel is a set of executables which act as interface between the SAP system, operating system and the corresponding database. Overview of SAP Kernel : http://www.easymarketplace.de/sap-programs.php
SAP Components or referred to as SAP Packages are SAP_BASIS, SAP_ABA etc. These contain objects depending on the type of package which can delivered to the customer. The objects can provide business logic and technology details as well.
Objects are usually programs, reports, function modules, classes etc or tables, structures, data elements etc.

Help needed applying OSS note 981295 in SAP ECC 5.0 with SAP Kernel 640_REL

Hi Experts,
Our functional team is trying to implement a kind of workflow through a notification via SAP Inbox (transaction code SBWP) after the release of a Purchase Order (Transaction code ME29), this is every time when a purchase order is released through transaction code ME29, a notification will be sent to the SAP Inbox (transaction code SBWP). So according to this they told me to implement OSS note 981295, but using transaction SNOTE I get the message that this note can't be implemented in my system this because my SAP Kernel version is the release 6.40 and the needed SAP Kernel for this note is from version 7.00 to version 7.10. So what do you recommend please in this case in order to implement the required functionality on our SAP ECC 5.0 System?
Best Regards,
Erik Espinosa

Note clearly states
This note is only relevant if the following Support Package is installed in the system:
NW04s: Support Package SAPKB70008
Meaning is not relevat to your case. You need to keep looking... if you open an OSS message people from SAP might put you in the right direction.

How many external application servers?

Our SAP system is quite small and serves about 150 users (Netveaver 7 and ERP 2006)
We are moving our very old physical servers from hardware to a virtual environment, which is very powerful.
At the moment we use three application servers on three seperate hardware servers, and one on the central instance.
Now all servers (SAP central instance plus application servers) will be moved to one physical machine on VMware.
Does it make sense to install again more application servers in seperate Windows-VM's, or ist it ok just to use one application server at the central instance for all users? The VM-host has much more power then all existing servers together.
I didn't find any information about this question in SAP's documentation.
best regards
Stefan

Hello
What matters here is the number of work processes. If you are planning to configure the target system with CI and an AS then you are losing the work processes provided by the other 2 AS's from the existing setup unless you set up the target system with more work processes for CI and AS. I would check the total number of work processes in the present setup and calculate the difference with the target configuration (CI + AS). If the target machine is powerful and if there is a need to have more work processes then I would increase the work processes on the CI and AS instead of having 3 AS's. There is nothing wrong in having more than 1 AS but there is no point in having more AS's if there is no use. If the requirement can be achievable with the help of additional work processes then I would consider increasing the work processes than having an additional AS.
You can make use of this consulting note for configuration of work processes.

Kernel Upgrade reflecting in application servers

Hello All,
I have question regarding kernel upgrade .
while performing kernel upgrade ,we uncar the files and replace the exe file in central instance (/sapmnt/<sid>/) .
After restarting the server , it is automatically getting reflected in appl.servers too.
Can any one tell me the work around beyond it .On what basis this is exactly getting updated by default in appl. servers too ?
Best Regards
Rakesh

If you look in the start profile of the application servers you will find the sapcpe program that runs at startup. This program is responsible for going out and looking to see if there is a newer kernel available at the CI. If it does see a newer version it will copy the correct files out to the application server.

Missing IDES ECC5 installation disk for SAP Kernel - MaxDB Version

Hi,
Our HQ sent us installation disks for IDES ECC5. We copied them all onto our server and started installation. The system is now informing us that it can't find the SAP kernel information.
I can only assume that we're missing one of the installation disks.
We're desperate to get this installed and it will take another week for our HQ to send through another disk. Does anyone know whether we can download this from somewhere? We have had a look on SAP marketplace but you only seem to be able to download the kernel for Oracle, MSSQL and DB2....no MaxDB.
Additionally, if there is somewhere in Asia we can download this, then that would be better as we are having internet problems when connecting to Europe and the US.
Thanks in advance!
Tristan

Hello Tristan,
This is not the correct forum to post your question.
You was not asked about the database(MAXDB) kernel software.
You need SAP kernel software
-> Review the installation guides at service.sap.com/instguides ->
mySAP Business Suite Applications -> mySAP ERP -> mySAP ERP 2004
-> SAP ECC 5.0 ->
Installation Guides of SAP ECC 5.0 SR1
-> < Please see the steps 'How to Proceed' > ->
-> MySQL MaxDB
< Part I: Planning and Preparation
Part II: Installation and Post-Installation >
-> select the documents for the OS of your server.
And the document from the 'Part I: Planning and Preparation' you will get information that you need the SAP kernel CD & & what is the minimum required version & the reference to the location at the SAP Marketplace to download it, if you don't have the required SAP kernel CD.
< You could download the CD from service.sap.com/installations ->
Entry by applicataion group ->
Installations and Upgrades -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NETWEAVER->
SAP NETWEAVER 04 ->
Installation and Upgrade ->
< OS> -> < database > -> CD 'SAP Kernel ... <database><OS>.
SAP kernel software is database, platform, Unicode specific. >
In the 'Part II: Installation and Post-Installation' document you will find the the list of the required DVDs for the SAP system-ABAP installation.
-> Are you running the installation of the the 'Central Instance', 'Dialog Instance' or 'Database instance' ?
For the 'Database instance' Installation you need:
SAP Installation Master DVD
SAP Kernel DVD
RDBMS DVD
SAP Export DVD
-> What CD/DVD do you have for the installation?
< You could download the CDs from service.sap.com/installations ->
Entry by applicataion group ->
Installations and Upgrades -> Entry by Application Group
-> SAP Application Components -> SAP ERP-> SAP ERP 2004 -> Installation and Upgrade -> <OS> ->SAP DB >
You could also order the CD, if you have problems with download from the SAP Marketplace.
Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

SAP kernel vs btools vs oracle version

we have some questions,
1. sap ecc ehp4 ready sr1 version, is use kernel 7.01 version, can i upgrade to 7.2 version?
2. can upgrade brtools version from 7.00 to 7.2 ?
3. sap ecc ehp4 ready sr1 version, can use oracle 11.2 version on aix, windows, hp-ux?
thank you everyboy help?

> i replace brtools 7.2 version on windows, get error "application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect......."
Check your windows event log. Most likely you'll see there an error like the one described in
Note 1402510 - Resolving SideBySide Assembly Errors
and hence you need to fix the ATL library by applying the Windows fix:

SAP R/3 Enterprise : Background job run on application servers

Hello All,
For our SAP system (SAP_BASIS 620, SAP_ABA 620,SAP_APPL 470), there are 5 application servers and one central instance.
We have a Background job that connects to external non sap system for data delivery via RFC of Type "G" i.e.HTTP Connection to Ext. Server with port 443 . RFC works fine.
In transaction STRUST, SSL certificates are also installed to enable the https connectivity from R3 system.
Our current issue is that background jon runs on one of the application server correctly and is able to transfer that data to external system. However if same job runs on other 4 application server, it fails to connect to external server and throws error:
RFC Destination XXXX not defined
407 Unknown error
Failed to store the XML content
Error in the XML document: 1301540.xml
407 Unknown error
This is very starnge for us .RFC is working correctly every time but background job works on one AS and not on other AS.
Where and What can be the difference in application servers.
Please help to send in ur replies. Thanks

Hi,
Is there a firewall between the non SAP system and the SAP system ? It could be that firewall rules have only been set for one only of the SAP application servers ?
Did you check the HTTP connections from each application server ?
Did you check that the ICM is running on each SAP application server ?

EP7 Sizing :db Instance and application servers SAPS splitting

Hello,
We are about to install a SAP EP7 EHPA in High Availability Mode.
Database : Oracle 10.2 on HP-UX.
The sizing has been performed, we require 10000 SAPS.
We will perform a distributed installation on several servers :
DBInstance on a dedicated physical host, and Applications servers on other machines.
Therefore we still have to decide how the required 10000 SAPS should be splitted between DB host
and the others hosts. For example : 30 % DB and 70 % Others
I'm aware that it is specific to the EP usage but I just want to have an overall idea
I tried to find that kind of information on SAP benchmark, or HP websites but didn't find anything.
Any help on this question will be apreciated.
Regards.
Raoul

Hi Raoul,
you are absolutely right - it depends on how you use EP. If you expect a lot of data in your database you will need to use a higher percentage. Maybe you should also think about the data source configuration for user management you'd like to use. This can contain a lot of data if you use database only with a lot of roles, groups and users. Another point would be how you like to archive log files. The portal may produce a lot of log files - depending on your settings and on the activity at the portal. If you like to archive them for a very long time you will need a lot of space. Another thing is portal activity report for example. It generates a lot of data in the database for weekly, monthly and daily aggregation when there is a lot of activity in the portal. Maybe this helps you to decide...
Cheers,
Anja

Kernel version for SAP ERP 6 Ehp4

Hi all,
We have installed ERP 6 Ehp 4 with SAP kernel 7.01. Is it possible to upgrade kernel to version 7.20 without upgrading other components (basis) to Ehp 5?
Thank you for your answers
Andrej

Hi, this is so called Rolling Kernel switch.
you can replace to the release 720 without much problems. I have done this in release 710.
However, could exist some situations that you have to update the support package like in my case that I had the short dump DDIC_TYPELENG_INCONSISTENT after the kernel update. You can check further details in note 1636252.
this is the main note about the project: 1616491

Version of sap kernel

Hello
How can i see on our system what we use sap kernel 32-bit or 64-bit?
regards,
Denis

Hi,
Very simple.
Go to the path: c:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\uc\NT<XXXX>.
The naming convention itself will tell you as to if the system is 64 bit or 32 bit. If I386 then 32, if it ends with 64 then 64 bit.
Also this location would be having two files SAPEXE and SAPEXEDB file see the exact number of it and then login to service market place and there match these numbers at the required location to find it out.
Using command prompt go to the same location and type disp+work you will see a few informations which will have the required details about the kernel.
regards and reward with good points.
