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.

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 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.

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:
Note 1375494 - SAP system does not start after applying SAP kernel patch

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.

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.

Kernel version for my sp levels

Hello,
I am running SAP server 6.40 on Solaris (64bit EX2 for Oracle) with 327 Kernel Version.
I have work processes that crash when executing a specific abap program.
As it may take time before sap dev support find the bug, I would like to test
with an old kernel (319) on my DEV system.
I would like to ensure that my support packages can run with the 319 Kernel.
Where could I find the minimum version of kernel needed by a support package level?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello,
The OSS message has been opened last week.
The other options are also to downgrade as we suspect that it is a new bug.
This is why I have posted my original question.
Do I have a way to find out if it is ok to run HR 5.00/SP 79 with Kernel 327?
Another option is to upgrage only the dispatcher & work process as I can get a version above 347:
dw_355-10004725.sar
But I am not very familiar with these upgrades.
Can I use dw_355 with my 327 other binaries?
See you,

"You are not authorized to download selected object" when trying to download SAP Kernel 7.21 EXT PL 500 with DL

Hello everyone,
Yesterday (April 30, 2015) SAP released the new patch 500 for SAP KERNEL 7.21 EXT 64-bit.
I am using Download Manager and I was able to download the Kernel Part II (DB-Dependent) .SAR file and other files as you can see in the screenshot, but for the Kernel Part I and disp+work files I get the error: "You are not authorized to download selected object".
On the other hand, I am able to download older versions of the Kernel Part I (SAPEXE_XXX.SAR).
Is this a technical problem on SAP side (SMP)? Did anyone encounter the same issue and found a solution?
Thanks.
BR,
Michel

Hello Michel,
Kernel Patch 500 is yet to release, to the customer.
Have a look at the below blog.
Surprise for Kernel version 7.21 patch level 500 !
Hope the above one helps.

Manadatory SP stack and which kernel version for source Release 4.6c

Hello!
I have the following questions:
- Which support package stack and which kernel version are mandatory for Source Release 4.6?
- Has the SAP Business connector still any supports?
And some additional question regardind connection Lotus Notes with ERP 2005:
- What is the procedure to connect Lotus Notes and ERP 2005 (Do we need RFC-connects or RFC/BAPI?)
Can anyone help out or recommend how to proceed?
Thank you!
Regards
Axel

First I would like to recommend getting a good basis consultant to do that whole process. If you have never done such kind of big technical upgrade/conversion before it can become a totally frustrating experience.
> Do you all do Unicode Conversion first before going for upgrade process ?
4.6c is not available as Unicode. During the PREPARE programs/transactions will be imported to the 4.6c system where you have to run all the preprocessing step mentioned in the Unicode conversion guide. After that is finished, the system is upgraded and immediately after the exported and to be imported as a Unicode system.
Anyone have experience in doing CUUC to EHP4 under single upgrade ? My colleagues have upgraded 4.6C -> ERP 6.0 for EHP 1 only and we want to perform EHP4 and Unicode Conversion under single project. Appreciate anyone advice on this.
There are many many things to look after, too much to list here in a forum. As suggested I'd consider getting a basis consultant with experience in that area.

Kernel version false by Downloading SP's

Hi
By downloading the SP's Package Satck and the OS/DB dependadnt files via Maintenance Optimizer in SolMan, I noticed that the proposed Kernel version is false.
In the status of my SAP system, the SAP Kernel is indeed a Non-Unicade version
The proposed (via Maintenance Optimiser) is a Unicode version.
Is something going wrong with the maintenance optimizer ?
or should I take the proposed Kernel version ?
I will be gartefull for your help.
Kind Regards
Latif

Hello Latif,
Nothing wrong with MOPZ, you just need to 'check' Non-unicode version of kernel while calculating the stack via mopz. Means you need to select non-unicode and you will get non-unicode kernel with stack instead of unicode one.
Try once more and try to observe the options where you choose db/os dependent files.
Thanks

Components involved on SAP KERNELL

Hi,
I want to update the sap kernell. I always update with sapexe, and sapexedb(independent and dependent database), but I need to try to update the kernell, but the last release delivered it´s the 701_117.
If I want to update I need to try with the package dw+disp package?
SAP Note 19466 - Downloading SAP kernel patches
More thanks

Hello,
Components of SAPEXE and SAPEXEDB are tested together.
You can update a kernel component if it's newer than the component of SAPEXE or SAPEXEDB
but there may be some unknown side effects.
Component release date is no longer relevant in itself. Sometimes a newer dated SAPEXE
or SAPEXEDB can contain an older component than a single component with an older release date.
If you want to find out which version is newer you should check the file versions.

Laszlo
