Using APYSIDKRN

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am installing my first Netweaver 7.10 system (no more TMKSVR, oh my!) and I have hit an issue which requires me to patch the kernel before the install can continue. I have discovered the new(to me anyway) command APYSIDKRN. It too, is failing. I am not sure I am filling in the parameters correctly.

Note 1097637 says to use:

APYSIDKRN SID(PID) ARCHIVES('/home/PIDADM/dw') CARPATH('/home/PIDADM') LOG

PATH('/home/PIDADM/APYSIDKRN.log') MODE(*FULLY)

In the command above, my <SID> is PID. When I run this, I receive the error: Object CAR14729 in QTEMP type *FILE not found.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Diana

I found note 1097751 and tried:

APYSIDKRN SID(PID) ARCHIVES('/home/PIDADM/dw') CARPATH('/home/PIDADM') LO

PATH('/home/PIDADM/APYSIDKRN.log') MODE(*ADD)

But go the error: Object CAR14729 in QTEMP type *FILE not found, again.

Where has you put the fix kernel??

APYSIDKRN SID(PID) ARCHIVES('/home/PIDADM/dw') CARPATH('/home/PIDADM') LO

PATH('/home/PIDADM/APYSIDKRN.log') MODE(*ADD)

You should put file in /home/pidadm

or

APYSIDKRN SID(PID) ARCHIVES('/tmp/dw') CARPATH('/home/PIDADM') LO

PATH('/home/PIDADM/APYSIDKRN.log') MODE(*ADD)

put fix in tmp folder

Persistence pays off! This is what worked:

APYSIDKRN SID(PID) ARCHIVES('/home/PIDADM/dw.sar') CARPATH('/sapmnt/PID/ex

e/uc/as400_pase_64') SAVSAR('/sapmnt/pid/exe/uc/as400_pase_64') LOGPATH('/

home/PIDADM/APYSIDKRN.log') MODE(*ADD)

Thanks.

Thanks for you update

You can create logical link of /sapmnt/<SID>/exe/(n)uc/as400_pase_64 to /HOME/SIDADM/ for the sapcar can be found.

Hello Diana,

with note 1097751 you found the note describing APYSIDKRN; but note 1078134 also explains how APYSIDKRN works. But notes point to each other. Note 1078134 states that the F1 help on the APYSIDKRN screen offers additional information. The error message you reported only comes up, when parameter CARPATH does not contain a path pointing to a PASE version of program SAPCAR, which is documented by F1. Parameter SAVSAR is intended toreceive a before-image of your executable directory (see F1). The way you used it you put this SAVF file of the before-image under the executbale directoty itself; so when you do the next APYSIDKRN MODE(FULLY) it will be erased and in case of errors with the new patch you do not have the chance to go back to the old executables any more. Please leave the parameters SAVSAR and LOGFILE to ÜDEFAULT - this will work best.

Best regards,
