Procedure

...

       1.      The current version of SAPOSCOL is available from the SAP Software Distribution Center at http://service.sap.com/swdc. Log on using your SAP Service Marketplace ID.

       2.      SAPOSCOL is backward-compatible in relation to the SAP release. This means that the SAPOSCOL release can be higher than the SAP release.

SAPOSCOL is, however, dependent on the operating system release. You should therefore select the correct SAPOSCOL version as follows:

○     Provided that your operating system release is sufficiently current (see, among other things, SAP Notes about the Kernel-operating system combinations released by SAP), use the current SAPOSCOL from the following directory:

Download → Support Packages and Patches → Entry by Application Group → Additional Components → SAP Kernel → <desired kernel: 32-BIT | 64-BIT | UNICODE> → SAP KERNEL 7.00 → SAP KERNEL 7.00 → <Operating System> → Database Independent

○     If your operating system release is not sufficiently current, use the current 6.40 version. If your operating system release is also insufficiently current for the 6.40 version, use the current 4.6D_EXT version:

○     If you want to install or replace SAPOSCOL on a host with no SAP system, use the 7.40 version of SAPOSCOL, if possible. Depending on your operating system, you may have to install lower versions of SAPOSCOL.

Note

For Tru64, the following special rules apply:

For TRU64 4.0x, install SAPOSCOL 4.6D.
For TRU64 5.1, install SAPOSCOL 6.40.

You should also take account of the following SAP Notes:
