Kernel 640 patching from 223 to 327 on AS/400

Hi All,

I am very new to AS/400 and this the first time that I am working with the OS AS/400.

I need to perform Kernel patch upgrade for BW 3.5 version. Currently the 640 kernel is on 223 patch and I want to update it to 327 patch.

I have downloaded the kernel R3OPT_327-20000357.SAR - SAP Kernel 6.40 for OS/400 for OS/400 V5R2M0 but I am not able to load the new kernel in the system.

I have gone through many sap notes for kernel upgrade on iseries but still not very clear idea. Could any one in detail explain me the Kernel upgrade steps for 640 version.

Thanks in advance....
