I have been trying to upgrade my kernel from 7.42 to 7.45. I have followed both

https://blogs.sap.com/2014/08/09/performing-sap-kernel-upgrade-on-ibm-i-using-apysidkrn-command/ and sap note 1097751. I have downloaded

When I run APYSIDKRN SID(DV2) ARCHIVES('kernel_745U/*') SAVSAR(*NONE) MODE(*TEST) CHGENV(*NO) UPDAPAR(*NO) INFOAPAR('/usr/sap/trans/config/infoapar.710') I am getting 12 hints. Do I need to fix/find patches for them, or will kernel upgrade fix them?

Hi again.

It seems that this is more or less a duplicate of this other question...

The SAP kernel files you downloaded have the patch level 700.

This is what we call a "stack kernel", as the patch level is multiple of 100 (100, 200, ... 700).

In general, SAP recommends to apply stack kernels and to apply the disp+work (dw) SAR file only if required (e.g., you are facing an issue that occurs even when using the latest stack kernel, and the fix was already delivered through a "hotfix patch", the disp+work).

Regards,
