Hi Sekhar,

The SAP Management Console (SAP MMC) provides essential information for monitoring the SAP system and offers functions to start, stop, and restart the system and also to configure the SAP DB.

The SAP MMC presents information on two panes of a window. The pane on the left is the scope pane. It displays available information in a tree structure that can be expanded and compressed. The pane on the right is the result pane. It shows detailed information about any item selected in the scope pane.

On your installation host double-click the SAP Management Console icon on your desktop. The SAP MMC screen appears. In the left pane you can open the tree SAP Systems -> <SAPSID> tree. The <SAPSID> node is called the system node. To start and stop the entire system, right-click on the system node and chose Start or Stop.

With the same procedure you can start and stop the instance nodes.

Caution: If you start via the system node by choosing Start, the database is started also. The Stop procedure, however, does not reflect the database, therefore you need to stop the database via the blue icon, if required (choose Offline to stop and Online to start the database).

hi Ankur,

I did not really get the exact answer for the difference between STOP & SHUTDOWN options from SAP MMC for any SID.

If you can provide with some clarification that will be great.

Thanks
