Reg UPgrading SAP Kernel for ECC 6.0

Hi,
We have a ECC 6.0 SAP System.
The current kernel in our system is 133.
We wanted to upgrade the Kernel
We have the following kernel versions
146
159
175
179
185
We wanted to know the stable kernel versions among the above and general issues encountered in the kernels
Please advice

Just go to the latest kernel.... no point in going from an old kernel to another old kernel. Usually kernels are released every quarter so just get the latest available.
Regards
Juan

Kernel for ECC 6.0 EHP4 / NW 7.01

Dear Experts,
I've one question, I want to update to the latest patch of the kernel. My system is an ECC 6.0 with EHP4/NW7.01which one should I apply? I found the one in the following path: Service.sap.com/swdc - Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group" SAP Application Components" SAP ERP" SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE" EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 / NW7.01" Entry by Component" SAP ECC Server VPack successor. My doubt is if I only should apply the DB independent and ORACLE.
Kernel Part I (for Basis 7.01)
Kernel Part II (for Basis 7.01)
Should I apply something else? Is there a note that can help me?
Thanks for your support?
Best Regards,
Antonio Rivera

Hi,
The SAP kernel comes as two parts, one is DB dependent and the other is DB independent. The best practice in upgrading the kernel is to update both the parts at the same time. Make sure that u have chosen the right component from the list of kernels in SAP SMP.
The kernel files are available in the following path,
http://service.sap.com/swdc
SAP Support Packages --> My Company's Application Components --> SAP KERNEL 64-BIT UNICODE --> SAP KERNEL 7.01 64-BIT UNICODE

What is the difference in SAPS requirement for ECC 6.0 (No EhP) vs ECC 6.7 (EhP 7)?

Hi Team,
Hope you are doing well, Can you please explain the below points.
1)      What is the difference in SAPS requirement for ECC 6.0 (No EhP) vs ECC 6.7 (EhP 7)?
2)     What is the split of SAPS between Core and RAM?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Deepak,
We are not partner/ customer with SAP, so don't have access to tools.
Can you please give theoretical idea about

Upgrading SAP Kernel

I need to upgrade the Kernel of our 620 BW System as it hasn't been done for a couple of years.
The current level is 1393 and DB 1467.
I have downloaded the following:
SAPEXE 1773 - (Kernel part 1 for Stack Q4-2004) and
SAPEXEDB 1773 - (Kernel part II for Stack Q4-2004)
Just wondering if this stack will contain all outstanding files from our current level? Does this look like the correct version to install.
Many thanks!
Marie

Hi Marie,
Yes the 640 Kernel is supported, as it is downwards compatible. By the way we are running all our 620 systems with the 640 Kernel also on Windows/SQL.
Maybe your problem is a result of a missing profile parameter (in default profile), that has changed.
Missing parameter is dbs/mss/server=<hostname>\<instance>.
Take a look at SAP note 858449.
Another tip is maybe the librfc32.dll in the <windir>\system32 directory of your server, that also has to be updated. (Please don't rename or move the old file, copy it to another name or directory to make a backup, before you replace it with the new one! You risk to mix up some registry information).
Did you had any errors while copying the new (640) kernel to the ..\sys\exe\run directory ? (file in use or so?)
Are you sure you have stopped every thing before you replaced the kernel ? (SAP, DB, saposcol, sapmmc, and all sap-services) ?
Sometimes (can't explain) a boot of the server helps clean up errors that can't be explained
Can you give some more information about your error (Error: 9007041D) is not much information....
And last yes the sap_droproc is necessary, specially if you upgrade the kernel (is mentioned in SAP note 664679).
I hope you can solve your "upgrade"...

How to upgrade SAP Kernel in clustered environment

I have a SAP R3 4.6 C installed on cluster environment, such that if one server goes down, the second clustered server takes the charge of all the resources from failing server. Also I have 6 application servers.
This is the reason, I have to mantain the SAP exe files in /exe/run on the 6 different application servers seperately. My question is: If I have a shared directory for exe files on central instance, and it goes down, then the 6 application servers will lose connection to those exe files. Then, how should I then connect these 6 apps servers to exe files of the 2nd failover clustered server?
So please let me know how to resolve this problem.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the update. The cluster is installed with virtual host. But unfortunately we have all exe files seperately on different 6 app servers. Should we NFS mount the exe directory on all apps server. Is NFS mounting sufficient or there are any additional steps to done. I heard that we have to activate sapcpe on the apps server.
Also after the kernel upgrade, do we have to distribute it on all the apps servers. Can you kindly guide me in this issue.
Thanks,
Arun

SAP Landscape for ECC,EP,BW,XI, DMS and TREX

Hi all,
I am in the role of SAP Basis Consultant for an IT organisation. One of their client require to install SAP ECC ( FI-CO,MM,PS,HR,REM,PM), EP, BW, XI, DMS and TREX. Their plan is to use ECC 6.0 ( Netweaver 7.0 SR2) with EP 7.0 and all others are latest version. The Dev setup in WIndows-Oracle and production will be AIX-Oralce. In the Dev setup, install all the components in separate servers and in production it is to be combined as follows ERP+ SRM(later) in one server, EPXI in another server, BW in one server and DMSTREX in last one.
Here my doubt is, this installation plan will have any issue?.
Second, the data export from DEV ( windowsoracle) Production ( unix-AIXoracle) will have any issue?
Please reply with details. As the project is in the planning phase.
regards,
Siby Syriac.P

Hi Siby,
If your client need such a broad installation (SAP ECC ( FI-CO,MM,PS,HR,REM,PM), EP, BW, XI, DMS and TREX), I'm sure that they hired a Senior Project Manager together with a team of senior consultants in each of the areas to look after the implementation. Also i presume they have look into hardware requirements to ensure the landscape will deliver the adecuate performance to the target amount of concurrent users.
As far as i can see from the 10 lines you wrote, I can't see a QA environment been considered... which I think is a mistake (thats only my own opinion). I can't see any issues having DEV runnning Windows and PRD running AIX (As long that youre confortable working in both environments). About the installation plan is very difficult to tell by your 10 lines but I'll try avoid having two big systems in the same box as ECC and SRM.
Thats my 2 cents

Juan

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.

Kernel Upgrade for ECC 6

Hi all,
I want to upgrade the kernel patch level for ECC 6.
I download all files in http://www.service.sap.com/patches
path: Entry by application group -> Additional Components -> SAP Kernel ->SAP Kernel 32 bit Unicode -> SAP KERNEL 7.00 32-BIT UNICODE -> Windows Server on IA32 32bit -> Database independent
Then, I extract all, stop SAP server and copy all these files to \SYS\exe\uc\ and restart server. But, on SAPMMC the dispatcher remains yellow "Dispatcher - Running but Dialog Queue info unavailable".
The old kernel patch level is 75, and I extract the file SAPEXE_102-20000972.SAR (patch level 102), but when checking system status, I found that the kernel patch level is not updated.
Do you know this problem ? Do I miss some steps ?
Thank you very much,
Sylvecast

MMC connects to the underlying sapstartsrv.exe windows service. Beside starting up and shutting down the processes listed in the start profile, this service will also connect to shared memory segments to find out the status of work processes and the dispatcher.
When starting the system it will normaly first execute sapcpe.exe to replicate new executables from the central replication directory (DIR_CT_RUN) to the instance executable directory (DIR_EXECUTABLE).
If you provide a new kernel version to DIR_CT_RUN, it will copy and start a new disp+work.exe and sapstartsrv.exe to the local directory WHILE the old sapstartsrv.exe service executable is still running.
if the new disp+work.exe contains changes to shared memory structures (compared to the old one) the old sapstartsrv.exe will not be able to read them. Dispatcher - Running but Dialog Queue info unavailable is one result of it, unavailable work process information another one.
sapstartsrv.exe will detect that there is a new version of it's executable by comparing sapstartsrv.exe against sapstartsrv.exe.new (which have the same timestamp in DIR_CT_RUN) and will restart the service with the new executable after 5 minutes which will normaly. This automatically fixes the problem and is documented in windows application log (eventviewer).

Error in PHASE PREP_EXTRACT/PREIMP: Upgrade SAP R/3 4.7 to SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4

Hello,
I'm currently in upgrading a SAP R/3 4.7 system to a SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4.
Therefore I followed the Upgrade Guide from marketplace - installation- and upgrade guides - SAP ERP - SAP ERP 6.0 - SAP Enhancement Package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0 - Upgrade Guide SAP ERP including EHP4 SR1 - Unix on MaxDB.

I'm starting upgrade with upgrade master DVD 51036889_1 and 51036889_2.

Hello,
I run 'R3trans -x' command, but there was no problem - connection to database was working.
Problem was following:
Before starting the sdt service on host, I set environment variables JAVA_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH for sidadm. That's not neccessary and that was the problem. Without setting these variables it is working now.
Thanks,

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
PS: SAP Note 19466 will give you information about download of SAP Kernel Patches.
