Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues related to the generation and performance of UUIDs on Linux systems for SAP applications. Users encountering errors such as duplicate UUIDs or poor performance must ensure the libuuid library from their Linux distribution is up-to-date to prevent database inconsistencies, especially in SAP environments using kernel version 7.10 or higher. The document advises running an attached script to verify the system's UUID environment and suggests possible upgrades for specific packages. It also details how SAP kernel updates can rectify discrepancies in UUID generation, emphasizing the need for the uuidd daemon activation for successful UUID management.
