After kernel upgrade its not showing in SAP

[former_member210040]

Hi there,

we have upgraded the kernel version in our ECC system, everything went well Disp+work is showing the new version but when checked in SAP its still showing the old version.

Please let me know what should be done to resolve this issue.

Thanks - Bhushan

Hello, remember Kernel might be located in 2 paths;

/sapmnt/SID/exe

/usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe (that should have softlinks to the above location)

/usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS21/exe (actually this is the one SAP uses to run), be aware that your system might have a different instance name

sapcpe normally copies the kernel from /sampnt/ location to the above location ../exe, make sure that kernel has been updated there too

Thank you for the reply Mario,

How can i know whether my kernel at /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS21/exe is also upgraded.

is that through or sapcpe.log or anyother way?

Best regards..

Hi,

You can execute "/usr/sap/SID/instance/exe/disp+work -V|more".

This way you will be executing the disp+work file that is explicitly inside that exe folder.

Best regards,

We had similar issue. When executed disp+work directly it was showing the updated kernel version. But when ran ./disp+work from /usr/sap/<SID>/D<NR>/exe it was showing older kernel version.

We found that there was some discrepancy in the Profile parameter due to which SAPCPE was not executing as expected. In my case DIT_CT_RUN parameter value was not correct. Once corrected and restarted the system, things started working fine and correct Kernel version was getting reflected everywhere.
