How to Check If You’re Using the 6.40 Extension Set 2.0 SAP Kernel

Darryl Griffiths
With SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 came the 6.40 Kernel.
There are two releases of this kernel, 6.40 Extension Set 1.10 and 6.40 Extension Set 2.0.

When you need to patch the Kernel, you need to know which one to download.
You can tell by executing the “disp+work” binary on UNIX or Windows:

$ id
<sid>adm

$ disp+work

--------------------

  disp+work information
  --------------------
  kernel release                640
  kernel make variant           640_EX2        <<< EXT 2.0
  DBMS client library

$ disp+work

--------------------

  disp+work information
  --------------------
  kernel release                640
  kernel make variant           640_REL        <<< Not EXT 2.0
  DBMS client library
