Summary :
This SAP Note discusses using the 7.20 or 7.20 EXT kernel as a downward-compatible kernel for older SAP NetWeaver releases including 7.00, 7.01, and 7.10. Users are instructed to download all kernel archives from the SAP Service Marketplace to maintain compatibility with their systems. The note details prerequisites such as potential OS upgrades and database-specific requirements. It warns against mixing executables from different kernel versions. Additional platform-specific guides and links to relevant SAP Notes for supporting details on database and operating system requirements are provided. The importance of reference to SAP PAM is highlighted for further information on platform compatibility.
