Summary :
SAP has introduced the 7.20 EXT kernel as an alternative to the 7.20 kernel for all SAP NetWeaver releases supported with the 7.20 kernel. This new kernel ensures compliance with current software and operating system support standards, addressing the discontinuation of vendor support for older operating systems and compilers used in kernel builds. The 7.20 EXT kernel is compatible with specific SAP NetWeaver versions including SAP EhP2 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0, SAP NetWeaver 7.20, and SAP NetWeaver 7.30, and can also serve as a downward compatible kernel. Installation requires manual kernel exchange, as detailed in SAP note 1553301, and adherence to the Product Availability Matrix for operating system and database compatibility.
