1. You need to download 2 sar files from the market place called sapexe.sar (OS Independent) and sapexedb.sap (database dependent)

2. then uncar those two sar files and keep in temporary directory

3. take backup of exe directory (/usr/sap/sid/sys/exe)

4. stop CI

5. stop DI

6. check any open processors using pf -ef |grep sid

7. copy temporary directory into exe (overwrite)

8. start DI and CI

9. then check whether upgrade or not using disp+work command at os level...
