Note 19466 - Downloading SAP kernel patches
Note Language: English Version: 110 Validity: Valid from 13.10.2004
Summary
Symptom
Downloading a kernel patch in the Service Marketplace, Software
Distribution Center, sapserv.
More Terms
Download, Software Center, sapservX, kernel, binary patch
SAPEXE, SAPEXEDB, disp+work, tp, R3trans, lib_dbsl
Support Package Stacks
Cause and Prerequisites
Solution
Download from SAP Service Marketplace
Patches for the SAP kernel are available on the SAP Service Marketplace
Software Distribution Center on the Internet under the following address:
http://service.sap.com/patches
You can find detailed information about navigation, on the home page. The
easiest way is to navigate via your product ("Entry by application group")
to the required kernel version. Alternatively, you can use the search
function ("Search for Support Packages and Patches") and enter the search
string "SAP Kernel".
o Navigate to the required kernel version, for example,

"SAP Kernel 6.40 64-bit"
o Choose your operating system, for example, AIX_64. You can find all
database independent SAP kernel programs under "Database
independent".
o You can find database specific kernel patches under the database
version, for example SAP DB.
Remember that to update your kernel completely, you have to download

patches from both directories.
In the directories on the Service Marketplace, the following information is

displayed for a patch:
- File name (can differ from the patch names described below)
- Short text
- Patch level
- "Info" link. This contains the information file described

below, with references to the corrections contained in the

patch and notes.
To download a patch, click on the patch name. Alternatively, you can use
the right mouse button (-> Save As). Further information is available
thein Software Center help.
Caution: altered recommendation concerning the import of kernel patches!
Kernel stack / Support Package stacks (as of Kernel 4.6D)
For regular maintenance, we recommend that you import Support Package

stacks (you can find further information under
http://service.sap.com/sp-stacks). A Support Package stack consists of
advanced kernel patches ("kernel stacks"), which are offered as a complete
package. A kernel stack is made up of the Database independent archive
"SAPEXE", as well as the Database dependent archive "SAPEXEDB". On the
service marketplace, they are labeled as "Kernel part I" / "Kernel part II"
with the specification of the stack version (for example "Stack Q3.2004").
Only import other patches if you have an actual problem.
The existing recommendation continues to apply for the Kernel releases 3.1
(_EXT) to 4.5B (_EXT), for which no kernel stacks are available: regularly
import the Packages DW.SAR, R3TRANS.SAR, TP.SAR as well as LIB_DBSL.SAR.
Only import all other patches if you have an actual problem.
Changing extended maintenance (3.1I_EXT, 4.0B_EXT, 4.5B_EXT, 4.6D_EXT). Refer

to Note 663811 or http://service.sap.com > SAP NetWeaver > Ext.Maintenance of
SAPkernels 3.1I_COM, 4.0B_COM, 4.5B, 4.6D.
Kernel Release 6.20 / Dependences with SAP J2EE Engine 6.20
When using the SAP J2EE Engine 6.20 in combination with a 6.20 ABAP backend
with SAP Kernel 6.20, note the following:
When importing a dw patch, the fast RFC interface (via which part of the
communication between the SAP J2EE Engine and the SAP Kernel is effected)
must be updated consistently. For this reason, the dw patch contains the
Archive FRFCLIB32.SAR (for 32-bit JAVA VM) or FRFCLIB64.SAR (for 64-bit
JAVA VM). To update the fast RFC interface consistently, this archive has
to be unpacked into the "os_libs" directory of each J2EE instance.
UNICODE kernel as of Release 6.20
As of Release 6.20, a so-called Unicode kernel (Directory "SAP KERNEL 6.20

32/64-bit UNICODE" is offered for download. This kernel is exclusively
suited for Unicode systems. It must not be used for normal "non-Unicode"
systems under any circumstances.
Kernel 6.40 downward-compatible for 6.20 / 6.10
The kernel for Release 6.40 is downward-compatible with 6.x so that the
kernel of the current release can be used to eliminate kernel errors
without the SAP System itself having to be upgraded to the new release. Use

the current 6.40 patch kernel for troubleshooting because patches for lower
6.20 kernels will only remain available for a short time.
However, it is important that each patch always matches a particular kernel
release. For example, you cannot use individual 6.40 executables together
with older kernel versions. Therefore, if you want to import a 6.40 patch
and are still working with an older kernel, you have to exchange the kernel
beforehand.
Refer to Note 664679,
"Installing a 6.40 kernel into a system with 6.10/6.20 Web AS".
Kernel 4.6D / 4.6D_EXT is downward-compatible with 4.6A/B/C
To use the downward-compatible 4.6D Kernel in 46A/B/C systems, the same

steps apply as those described above.
Refer to Note 318846, "Installing 4.6D kernel in 4.6A/B/C SAP Systems", for
this.
Kernel 4.5B / 4,5B_EXT is downward-compatible for 4.5A
To use the downward-compatible 4.5B kernel with 4.5A systems, the same
Refer to Note 149682, "Installation of 4.5B kernel with 4.5A DB"
Kernel 4.0B_COM / 4.0B_EXT is downward-compatible for 4.0B, 4.0A.
To use the downward-compatible 4.0B_COM kernel with 4.0A systems, the same
Refer to Note 102461, "Installation of 4.0B kernel with 4.0A DB"
Kernel 3.1I_COM / 3.1I_EXT is downward-compatible as of 3.0C
To use the downward-compatible 3.1I kernel with 3.x systems, the same steps
apply as those described above.
Refer to Note 102445, "Installation of 3.1I kernel with 3.0C/D/E/F
,3.1G/H-DB".
Patch formats
The patches of the individual programs are "<name>.SAR" SAR or CAR

archives. In the Software Center, the patch level and further information
are displayed for every patch (link "Info" in analogy with the former "Info
file" on sapserv). Always use the patch with the highest version number.
Change of the naming convention (01/2003)

New (01/2003): <Patchname>_<Patchlevel>-<SAP-internal-GUID-No>.<archext>
Example: DW_559-10001684.SAR
Old : <Patchname>.<archext>
Example: DW.SAR
Kernel Archive SAPEXE.SAR / SAPEXEDB.SAR (ab 4.6D)
These archives contain the complete SAP kernel:
