Summary :
SAP has announced that the maintenance for kernel versions 700, 701, 710, and 711 will end on August 31, 2012. These versions will be replaced by kernel version 720, which is fully compatible with earlier versions but offers additional benefits and features. For issues post the mentioned date, SAP will only provide fixes for kernel 720. Updating to kernel 720 ensures support continuity and access to new enhancements like the Rolling Kernel Switch and improved security features. The update aligns with requirements for NetWeaver 7.x platforms and introduces extended support for DB/OS combinations with kernel 720_EXT.
