Conceptual question: How can I make one Instance disappear for SAP MMC?

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I am asking this question to clear my understand on SAPOSCOL/SAPSTARTSRV/SAPSERVICES etc. so please provide your inputs.

In SAP MMC, there are Four instances listed, all green.

1. CI

2. D/B

3. App. Server1

4. App. Server2

What should I do to achieve one of the Instances go Dis-appear (and NOT greyed-out ) ?

One way to achieve this is , if they are running on different hosts then Switch-off that Host machine.... But I am trying to know this from Windows services point of view...

In Task manager, I tried ENDING/Stopping  SAPSTARTSRV.... SAP<SID>_nr... SAPHostExec, SAPHostCtrl .... but couldn't achieve,

Please help me.

System:

Windows 2012 R2

ERP6.0/EHP7

Hi,

Stop the Windows service "SAP<SID>_<Instance Number>" and change its startup type to "disable".

When you want to start this instance again, change the startup type of the service to "automatic" and start it again.
