startsap and stopsap by scripting

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

For example, I want to shutdown my SAP system during weekends and I want to start up the SAP system when the week start.

Is it possible to shutdown and start SAP "automatically" thru running some scripting without anyone doing the shutdown and start up manually? What i meant is there a way just to schedule the trigger for "STARTSAP" and "STOPSAP". My OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 and DB is MaxDB 7.6.

I guess it is possible on the OS thru scripting it by adding it to the init file but I'm not sure on the SAP system.

Please enlighten me. Is there a way? Is it possible? Please advise or give examples of the scripts.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi,

Yes it can be done with scripting. For the OS it is just running another command.

Either create a shell script which calculates the times and does the right job at the right time or cron can be used for the timing part.

It should not be a problem. It would require some effort if we want to check if any user is logged on while stopping sap system. But that can also be done.

I am not sure if this is relavent to you still.

Bye.

Mohan.
