dbsl patch not upgraded

[former_member183044]

Hi,

We have downloaded the dbsl patch version(318) from marketplace. We

have done the uncar, extracted the files and copied the files to the kernel

location. After restarting the server again, while checking the sm51, the dbsl

patch version in our server is still the same(315).

Please help...

Hi Praveen,

Have you updated the kernel following the steps mentioned in the note 19466? Have you used the same unicode DBSL with your kernel?

The SAP Kernel comprises of two parts:

The database-indepedent part of the kernel (disp+work.<extension>)
The database-dependent part of the kernel (db<dbms_type>slib.<extension>

Have you updated them all?

Hugo

Hi Hugo,

Thanks for the reply. We have downloaded both the files for SAP kernel (database independent & database dependent) and uncared and installed in our server.

Can u please tell that How can we check same unicode DBSL with our kernel??

Hi Praveen,

You need to download the dbsl from the same location where you downloaded the kernel. See the note 19466.

Hi Hugo,

I have already done the kernel upgrade. But the actual problem is dbsl patch upgrade. I have done the kernel upgrade as per the notes. I also downloaded the dbsl patch version and done the whole same process.

But after restarting the server, while i checking the dbsl patch version , it is still showing the dbsl patch level.

Hi Praveen,

I think you are doing something wrong. Please, follow exactly the steps in Note 19466, if you follow them, I presume you will not get this problem.

Hi Praveen,

which is your basis release and which kernel release is in use?

Best regards,
Andreas

[former_member183044 · Accepted solution]

Hi Andreas,

Our Basis version is 731 and kernel release in use is 721_EXT_REL

Praveen

Hi Praveen,

according to note #1591607 you should use the 720_EXT kernel, but it is also fine with the latest 721_EXT.

Please change the kernel according to notes #19466 and #1713986. Please work through #1713986 step by step.

Best regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

According to note 1713986, in that note it is written that we must execute ./saproot.sh.

Is it necessary to execute that command?

Also Andreas, my question is on dbsl patch version. We have successfully upgraded the kernel version from 720 to 721 according to the said SAP Note. But when we do dbsl upgrade from 315 to 318 it is not upgrading.

Praveen

Hi Praveen,

you have to execute the "saproot.sh" script to configure the ownership and permissions of some kernel files, including saposcol.

After changing the DBSL at "/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/exe/run" did you run "sapcpe" for all application server instances?

Did you step by step work through that note? Or did you only switch DBSL at "/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/exe/run"?

Best regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Please note the following.

After changing the DBSL at "/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/exe/run" did you run "sapcpe" for all application server instances? ----- No

Did you step by step work through that note? Or did you only switch DBSL at "/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/exe/run"? -------kernel upgrade has been done successfully completed.After that

we have done the uncar of dbsl patch files and copied the two files in kernel folder. After checking the version again, the dbsl patch version is same.

Hi Praveen,

would you please run "sapcpe" according to note #1713986?

Cheers,
Andreas

[former_member183044 · Accepted solution]

Hi Andreas,

Sorry for the wrong information. We had already done the sapcpe , but not after dbsl upgrade.

Please take a look at the screenshot.

Am i suppossed to do the sapcpe just after the dbsl patch version upgrade?

Awaiting your earliest reply...

Regards

Praveen

Hi Praveen,

yes, please do SAPCPE again to ensure that all executables are in sync.

Cheers,
Andreas

[former_member183044 · Accepted solution]

Hi Andreas,

So u want me to do the dbsl upgrade again and immediately after dbsl upgrade , do the sapcpe command?

Awaiting your reply

Regards

Praveen

[alichtenau · Accepted solution]

Exactly Praveen.
This ensures that the new DBSL is not just under "/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/exe/run", but also in sync with all other executables.

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the update. We will do the same process in our environment and will surely update u.

Hello Andreas Lichtenau and Praveen Ninan Alex,

I´m facing the same problem after I performed a kernel update! The problem is exactly the same, with the DBSL version (318), but the system doesn´t show this version, it show me the "old" version (315)!

I did exactly what is recommended in the sap note 1713986 for the Windows platform. I also ran the following two sapcpe commands but unfortunatelly it gave me the same problem (my system is a SAP Solution Manager - double stack (abap+java):

S:\usr\sap\SM1\DVEBMGS00\work>sapcpe pf=S:\usr\sap\SM1\sys\profile\SM1_DVEBMGS00_SATDCSSM1

S:\usr\sap\SM1\DVEBMGS00\work>sapcpe pf=S:\usr\sap\SM1\SYS\profile\SM1_DVEBMGS00_SATDCSSM1 source:S:\usr\sap\SM1

\SYS\exe\jvm\NTAMD64 list:S:\usr\sap\SM1\SYS\exe\jvm\NTAMD64\sapjvm_

4.1.040\sapjvm_4.lst

I ran the following sapcontrol command and this was the output:

S:\usr\sap\SM1\DVEBMGS00\work>sapcontrol -nr 00 -function GetVersionInfo

27.10.2014 12:44:45

GetVersionInfo

OK

Hi Samid,

Did u performed sapcpe steps as per andreas mentioned in above mail??

Regards

Praveen

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Hello Praveen,

Yes, I performed that steps. What I did was, I ran the two following sapcpe commands (because this is a ABAP+JAVA system) as it said in sap note 1713986:

S:\usr\sap\SM1\DVEBMGS00\work>sapcpe pf=S:\usr\sap\SM1

\sys\profile\SM1_DVEBMGS00_SATDCSSM1

S:\usr\sap\SM1\DVEBMGS00\work>sapcpe pf=S:\usr\sap\SM1

\SYS\profile\SM1_DVEBMGS00_SATDCSSM1 source:S:\usr\sap\SM1

\SYS\exe\jvm\NTAMD64 list:S:\usr\sap\SM1\SYS\exe\jvm\NTAMD64\sapjvm_

4.1.040\sapjvm_4.lst

I sent to you attached to this message the log files of sapcpe.

Can you help me please? Any tips?

Best regards,

Hi samid,

Can u explain in detail with each of the screenshot? pls send a copy to Andreas Lichtenau also.

Hello Praveen,

I don´t understand what you want... but I believe you asked me to put some print screens here in way to explain more better what I done, am I right?

I followed the instructions in the sap note 1713986 - Installation of kernel 721 (EXT) in the section "4.2 On Windows". As you can see in that sap note, for the Dual-Stack systems, which is the case of my SAP system, I must run the following two commands:

< drive>:

cd \usr\sap\<SAPSID>\<INSTANCE>\work

sapcpe pf=<drive>:\usr\sap\<SAPSID>\sys\profile\<instance profile>

If your system is running with the SAPJVM:

sapcpe pf=<drive>:\usr\sap\<SAPSID>\sys\profile\<instance profile> source:<sapjvm directory> list:<sapjvm directory>\sapjvm_<version>.lst

So, I did exactly what is recommended in note! I ran the following sapcpe commands:

For Abap side:

S:

cd \usr\sap\SM1\DVEBMGS00\work

sapcpe pf=S:\usr\sap\SM1\sys\profile\SM1_DVEBMGS00_SATDCSSM1

For Java side:

S:

cd \usr\sap\SM1\DVEBMGS00\work

sapcpe pf=S:\usr\sap\SM1\SYS\profile\SM1_DVEBMGS00_SATDCSSM1 source:S:\usr\sap\SM1\SYS\exe\jvm\NTAMD64 list:S:\usr\sap\SM1\SYS\exe\jvm\NTAMD64\sapjvm_4.1.040\sapjvm_4.lst

After I run that sapcpe commands that I described above, I started the SAP system but again the DBSL has the old version (315) and not the version (318) that I added in the kernel directory!

Can you help me please? Any tips? Any solution for this weird situation?!

Best regards,

samid raif
