Difference between STOP and SHUTDOWN in MMC

Former Member

Hi all,

When we see SAP MMC & right click the instance, we will get many options including STOP & SHUTDOWN.

Could you please tell me the difference between the two. If we click STOP, all the services like message server, dispatcher will be stopped, what will happen when we click SHUTDOWN?

Thanks & Regards,

Subbu.

hello Subu

SHUTDOWN will stop OS too i.e. WINDOWS operating system on which your database and SAP applications are running.

difference:

STOP will stop SAP application and the database, SHUTDOWN will do OS stop.

so if we want to restart SAP then STOP, and if we want to restart/reboot OS then SHUTDOWN

SO, if you wanna stop OS , then always STOP the application and db first with option STOP and then OS stop using SHUTDOWN
