QUESTION POSED ON: 20 August 2006 My client wants to change and upgrade the R/3 kernel. They had already upgraded from the 4.5B to the 4.7 kernel, and now want to update that kernel. What typically gets affected by changing a kernel in a production system?
>
An SAP kernel upgrade consists of replacing the SAP executables. Normally no business impact is to be expected.
The SAP kernel is shipped in two parts, a database in-dependent and dependent bundle (naming convention SAPEXE_<KERNEL VERSION>_<BUNDLE NUMBER>.SAR and SAPEXEDB_<KERNEL VERSION>_<BUNDLE NUMBER>.SAR)
