Incorrect kernel patch level

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I just upgraded kernel patch level to the latest one, i.e. 254, however the EWA report still read the old patch level (Your SAP kernel release (release 700, patch level 254) is not up-to-date).

Do we have to upgrade the ST_PI and/or PI_BASIS, the status is as follow:

SOLMAN:

PI_BASIS 2006_1_700 0008 SAPKIPYM08

ST-PI 2008_1_700 0000

Satellite:

PI_BASIS 2005_1_700 0010 SAPKIPYJ7A

ST-PI 2008_1_700 0000

Please advise.

Thank and Regards,

Hi,

This "outdated check" is based on the compiling date of the

'disp+work package' of the kernel. The rules for how many days mean

outdated depend on the kernel release and the ST-SER Release and SP

running on the Solution Manager.

Please find below some corrections that extent the rules for beeing

up-to-date:

1076235 - RED Rating in Software Configuration, Kernel 700 old

1301137 - ST-SER 2008_2 SP02: Further Corrections

1304151 - Service Assistent: Adjustments for Kernel Check

You may want to have the latest ST-SER version in order

to ensure that the latest corrections are implemented in your system.

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys for your feed back...

Hi Ho Li,

The ST-SER level for our Solman is newer than the notes you suggested:

ST-SER 700_2008_1 0005 SAPKITLOO5

Do we need to upgrade it to highest level?

Please advise.

Kind Regards,

Hi Ho Li,

We have on the latest level of ST-SER release 700, i.e. SAPKITLOO5 (700_2008_1 level 0005). Do you mean we have to update to ST-SER 701_2008_2? Is it different release isn't it?

Regards,

Rudi

Hi Rudi,

go to transaction SM51 - Releaseinformation which Kernel is shown there ?

If the old kernel is shown, you must update the kernel a second time.

Check both Kernel destinations:

usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/uc/NTAMD64/

and

usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS/exe

regards
