Rebooting SAP Servers using SMS?

[Former Member]

When we patch our Windows based servers, we deploy the patches with SMS, then we manually:

- Shutdown all of the SAP services (first ensuring that they are not in use - no automated jobs running, etc.)

- Restart the server

- Start the SAP services

The SAP services/components we have include R/3, BW, HR, ME, EP6, EP7, Solman, Content Server, etc.

Everything runs on Windows and uses MS SQL.

Is it possible to perform the 3 steps listed above using SMS?

Thanks.

Hi Paul,

I think the 2nd step is possible, but this will stop or kill all processes and in the case of SAP you'll be better off making sure all the systems stop properly before restart and also check they start properly after restart.
