Hi Asfan,
You may compare your guideline with SAP Note 664679 – Install 640 kernel in WAS 620.
There several steps from yours is missing eventhough it is not critical.

May I know what the saproot.sh script is for?
By: Jay on February 22, 2008

Hi Jay,
the script will change the owner and the permission of related kernel file. for example, the script will change the owner of file brtools.exe into ora, and file disp+work.exe into adm.

Hi Asfan,
Can you tell me? where do i find saproot.sh. I am unable to locate in /sapmnt//exe. Is it part of SAPEXEDB*.SAR / SAPEXE.SAR files?
TIA
Regards,
Priyank.

Mas, u/ update kernel dari 6.20 ke 6.40, apakah langkahnya sama ? Tempat saya menggunakan SAP R/3 Enterprise DIMP 4.71.
Saya coba beberapa kali, muncul message bahwa ABAP Database not avaiable via R3trans. Sudah coba jalankan R3trans -d -v, trans.log menunjukkan jika ada masalah pada NLS parameter.
Mohon bantuan pencerahannya, thanks.

Hi Dwi,
hal tsb berarti ada problem koneksi SAP ke database nya.
pastikan variabel untuk user adm sudah benar. jika systemnya UNIX, mungkin bisa coba cek variabel NLS_LANG pd user adm.
jika memang benar itu masalah NLS, bisa coba cek SAP notes 40815.
semoga membantu.
