Stop/Start SAP Instance

[Former Member]

We would like to set up the stop/start process in SAP to run automatically. Right now this is a manual process using SAPMMC. We shut down SAP to clear the buffers and apply the Windows patches every week. Can anyone tell me how to set this up or if a script needs to be in place?

Thanks

You can use a script for sure...just add to your script the following:

stopsap <r3,db or all> name=<SID> nr=<system_number>

and

startsap <r3,db or all> name=<SID> nr=<system_number>

that should do..

The MMC is showing a green status. A co-worker has created a .bat file to stop and start the process. I will have him try the above suggestion.

Thanks!

We tried adding the above script and now we can't bring the system down even manuallly. Please help

Whats the status on the SAPMMC?

If the MMC does not show status you could stop the DB manually and restart the box.

Now theres no reason for SAP to stop responding... try using stopsap all name=<sid> nr=<system_number>
