Hello,

I installed MDM Catalog 7.1 on a SLES 11 Sp2 Server. Everythings working fine but I don't now how i start/stop the MDS/MDIS in a shell on the server itself. Remote start/stop via SAP MMC working  fine. What are the commands to start/stop the mds/mdis on the server? I have to setup a autostart (/etc/init.d) of the mds/mdis. There are no startsap/stopsap scripts.

best regards

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

In order to stop/start the servers on Unix machines you will need to run sapcontrol command.

1. connect to with your MDM user (such as qxxadm).

2. go to mds exe folder where you can find the sapcontrol.

3. run the command: # sapcontrol -nr <server id> -function Start.

for example: # sapcontrol -nr 00 -function Start

for stopping the server just change Start to Stop (# sapcontrol -nr 00 -function Stop).

Also, you check if the process is still running or stopped by running the command: # "ps -ef | grep md"

(or you can be more specific and write the desired server process: mds-r / mdis-r / mdss-r

Hope that helped,

Regards,

Yoni
