Summary :
This SAP Note provides comprehensive guidance on the 7.20 kernel from the perspective of the IBM i porting team, listing relevant notes for its installation, maintenance, and general services. Key considerations include the end-of-maintenance for pre-720 kernels, dependencies like SAPHOSTAGENT, digitally signed SAPCAR archives, and various installation prerequisites from the SAP Service Marketplace. Detailed references to security setups, locale handling, instance-specific directories, and the manual application of the 7.20 kernel to older systems are mentioned. Additionally, it covers kernel maintenance differences, handling system locks during patches, and executing updates using commands like APYSIDKRN.
