Batch / script file to start /stop sap server

[Former Member]

Hi,

I would like to start/stop SAP server using batch file (in windows). I need this, whenever we have to shutdown the server and restart of the server, so that SAP will automatically shutdown and restart using batch files while server restart cases? If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks,

Regards,

Sundar.

Which Windows is it?

If you registered SAP with Windows services then i would use commands like

net start servicename

net stop servicename

Go for it click on Start -> Run -> cmd -> net

NET

[ ACCOUNTS | COMPUTER | CONFIG | CONTINUE | FILE | GROUP | HELP |

HELPMSG | LOCALGROUP | PAUSE | SESSION | SHARE | START |

STATISTICS | STOP | TIME | USE | USER | VIEW ]

What do you mean with activity?

Do you want an automatic script which check for any activity or do you want a script where you do something like a click and your SAP start or stop?

[former_member196353]

Yes you got it right, When ever we want to bring the system down we can run a script and that stops the system and vice versa.

create am cmd file like startsap.cmd or stopsap.cmd

example for startsap.cm

--- START ---

@echo off

net start servicename1

net start servicename2

net start servicename3

--- END ---

for servicename just enter the name from the service. You'll find that when you open the services MMC under service name.

Only make sure that you meet all service dependencies in your script.

for startup: let SAP[SID]_00 set aut AUTOMATIC start.

then in the start profile add:

AUTOSTART = 1

as for shutdown, put this in a script:

stopsap.exe name=%ORACLE_SID% nr=%SYSNR% SAPDIAHOST=%SAPLOCALHOST%

then, call shutdown.exe

if you are running SAP Kernel version 700 or higher I would recommend to use sapcontrol instead of stopsap or startsap.

Sap notes 877795 states:

As of Release 7.00 the SAP start service "sapstartsrv" is delivered on all platforms. The previous DCOM "SAPControl" interface was replaced by a new Web service interface featuring enhanced functions for J2EE Engine administration.

[Former Member]

target of the 700 sapstartsrv improvement was to deliver identical functionality on all SAP platforms. As the DCOM programing model is only available on Windows platforms sapstartsrv.exe was enhanced by the WEB-Service interface and is available now on Unix too.

The DCOM SAPControl interface of sapstartsrv.exe is still existing, but only on Windows. Here you can use VB Script or any other programming language able to handle DCOM objects to write your own programs / scripts to interact with the SAPControl.

sapcontrol.exe is a command line program available since 700 which enables you control over nearly all functions of the sapstart service.

Even it has the same name as the DCOM interface it' something completly different.

Peter
