Stop/Restart instance(s) in scheduled time

[former_member199694]

hi,

we have number of sap instances running in our environment( Unix). Wondering, if there are any feature in Solution Manager/ any other ways - to schedule certain instance to stop and restart during system outage days.

I am currently developing a Unix script to read a input file for instances to stop/restart in scheduled time.

Thanks,

Raj,

I have not used this but i suppose this is possibel using SAP Solution Manager downtime management.

Read Note 1129385 - Downtime Management with SAP Solution Manager: FAQ

Also there are some documents for setup in SCN , you can search for configuration .

Thanks Gagan.. I just went through the OSS note -1129052.. it was awesome.., just looking for this feature only. I have to try it out from my test system..

Regarding start/sap script, it is normal process, could be updated for many instances..- I may not be doing now.

Thanks,

Welcome to SDN.

You can use the SAP standard script under /sapmnt/<SID>/exe startsap and stopsap to manager your instances. There are readable scripts, and has documentation how to use the script.
