Summary :
This SAP Note provides guidance for system upgrades utilizing the EXT kernel. Users upgrading to SAP R/3 4.6C SR2 or SAP APO 3.1 with the EXT kernel must use specific EXT kernel CDs, which are available through the SAP Online Catalog or in the download area of the SAP Service Marketplace. The detailed steps include running the PREPARE module, halting R3up, and replacing the upgrade kernel with the EXT kernel, ensuring the use of correct commands for UNIX, Windows, or OS400 environments. Additional instructions cover replacing R3up for DEC OSF True 64 systems and setting environment variables for Oracle database connections in Basis 6.20 upgrades.
