Why do we do kernal upgradation in central instance only

Experts,
   I have a question. Why do we do kernal up gradation in central instance only? what about other instances? How the up gradation takes place in other instances?
points will be awarded to all helpful answers.
Thanks in advance.
Rajesh

Hi,
Whatever the other two friends have explained is correct. We do kernal upgrade only on CI when the Operating systems of the CI and the Application Instances are same.
if the CI and AI are in different operating systems then we may have to upgrade kernel in both CI and AI.
Sapcpe.exe would synchronize the kernel only when the SAP systems have homogenous OS.
Reward points if useful.
Thanks,
sree

  • How to install ECC 6 with Central Instance Only

    How do I avoid install standard DB import because I want to use DB from another system, so I don't need to install DB import. But ECC 6, not like R/3 4.6C, I can't find a choice to install CI only, why?

    Hi Dennis,
    This is possible...From the Installation Master you have to select the Distributed System Option(SAP ERP 6.0 SR..->SAP System -> Distributed System - > Based On AS ABAP) not the Central System.There you can select the Database Instance/Central Instance.

  • NW04s - Install Central instance only

    Hi all,
    until NW04, SAPinst had the option of only install an Central Instance and then we could attach an DB for the whole system works.
    In this new NW04s I didn't find this solution, have someone an idea how we could we do this right now ??
    Thanks in advance,
    Best Regards,
    Pedro Rodrigues!

    The thing is when I go through there it asks me for the Profile directory !!
    It seems that CI is now the last step for a distributed system!!!
    then i couldn't install only an CI!!!
    any more ideas?
    Thanks

  • Kernel patch upgrade for multiple instance

    Hi expert,
    I want to know will we follow the same process while upgrade the kernel patch only for Multiple ABAP STAK.
    We have system which has 3 instances....................so my question is exactly where we ned to put the kernel files (Generlly it should be in /EXE or /RUN file)and in which instance.......

    1.If I copy the patches only in central instance will it affect to all other instances.....?
    If you have configured your SAP system correctly then Yes, Kernel upgrade in Central Instance will reflect in Dialog Instances also.
    2.what is the concept of SAPMNT..(/sapmnt/SID/exe ).........?
    /sapmsnt/SID/SYS/exe -> to share the kernel across the instances
    3.What is the difference between EXE and RUN directory ............will it make any difference if I copy into EXE folder instead of
    /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run is located on the host system of the R/3 instance and is for locally-stored executables
    /sapmsnt/SID/SYS/exe/run -> Central Instance directory
    /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe - Dialog Instance directory
    you can check the values of DIR_EXECUTABLE or DIR_CT_RUN (if you are using sapcpe) to determine the kernel directories for central and dialog instances respectively

  • Clarification regarding kernal upgrade

    Hi Experts,
    In our production system (OS:AIX) we have database and central instance in host A and the dialog instance on host B.
    As per my understanding I need to extract the kernal patch in
    hostA : DVEVMGS00/exe and SYS/exe/run
    hostB : D01/exe.
    I have never done a kernal upgrade in this type of schenario. Kindly confirm if this process is right or anything else I need to do.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Amit Jana.

    Hi,
    Plzz don't do like that HOST -A & HOST- B.
    your central instance is there in HOST-A. Then do like this.
    1. Go to market place download the latest kernal.
    2. Stop your Sap Application Central (HOST-A) & Dailog (HOST-B) aslo.
    3. Take the backup of u r kernal dir that is RUN dir in HOST-A
        backup means copy of run dir..
    4. Then uncar the downloaded files in HOST-A.
    5. Copy the all uncared files in RUN directory in HOST-A no need to copy HOST-B.
    6. Than start u r central instance (HOST-A).
    7. After complted successfully server up, then start u r Dailog instance (HOST-B).
    8. Automatic kernal will be exfected. No need to copy kernal in Dailog.
    Plzz do this i was already did  my company. It working successfully.

  • How to make upgrade from application server and not from central instance?

    Hello SAP Gurus!
    I have SAP ECC release 6.0, and I´m gonna make upgrade to enhancement package 6.06, do you know if Can I make upgrade from application server, but not from central instance?
    Thanks.

    Hi Victor,
    Upgrade process has to execute from the server where message server is running.
    So I guess it is not possible to initiate the SAP upgrade  from application server.

    You don't need to have Lightroom 3 and 4 installed on your computer to install Lightroom 5.  Just install Lightroom 5 and input your serial number for 3 in the previous version box and your serial number for 5 in the upgrade box.

  • Central Instance didn't start after Kernel Upgrade

    Hello,
    I've made a Kernel Upgrade for a Solution Manager with kernel version: release 7.01, 64-Bit Unicode on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition.
    When I wanted the SAP instance, Central Services instance started, but Central Instance didn't.
    In the sapstart.log file the following error: "SAPSTART finished successfully on , but at least one process doesn't run correctly:
    sapstart.exe=>sapparam (1c): No Profile used."
    The file "dev_w0" says the following:

    I also want to tell you that the Database Instance (MSSQL server) disappeared from SAP MMC, but I checked in SQL Server Configuration Manager and the processes are running...

    WHy my iPad do not upgrade over iOS 5.1.1

    If it's the first generation iPad (i.e. the only without cameras) then it doesn't support anything higher than iOS 5.1.1 - it doesn't have the processor nor the RAM (it only has 256 meg RAM ; the iPad 2 and first iPad Mini have 512 meg ; other iPads have 1024 meg) to cope with anything higher

    I cant even get into itunes because it wont recognize it to do a reboot or a rollback.

    The terms of service of the Apple Support Communities prevent us from helping anyone with a jailbroken phone.
    You're on your own.  Good luck.
