Hi Veerra,

1) SAP kernel 720 does not work on Windows 2003.

2) Kernel upgrade on IDES is same like on other SAP systems on Windows.

     Make a copy of existing kernel directory

     download the kernel files and extract it

     stop SAP system

     overwrite existing kernel directory with new kernel files

    start sap system.

    check new kernel in SM51 - > release notes

Hope this helps.

Hi Veerra,

The information that Windows 2003 is not supported for 7.20 kernel is from SAP PAM only.

Secondly for issues related to SAP kernel upgrade, relevant log files are located under

/usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS<NR>/work folder.

Hope this helps.

You may need to look into

Hope this helps.
