Disable Minisap application server to start automatically

[Former Member]

Hi there,

I've successfully installed Minisap on my computer, but my problem is the Application Server starts automatically whenever i switch on my computer which slows it down. I tried using XP's scheduled taks to run cmd Stop Application Server but it does not seem to work. Is there anyway i can solve this?

Hello,

I think you're talking about the ABAP trail, right?

If so please check the start profile under <i><drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\profile</i> (e.g. START_SCS01_<hostname>).

In it you should find the parameter <i>Autostart =</i>. Set it to <i>0</i> and the application server shouldn't start automatically anymore.

Hope it helps.

Hi Norma,

The only files in there are DEFAULT.PFL, NSP_DVEBMGS00_<hostname> & START_DVEBMGS00_<hostname> and there is none with Autostart in it. However on closer inspection i've reliased that the Application Server isn't actually started because i still have to go and start it or else i get the "Connection to partner broken" error message. I don't know if its the database server or not, what happened is everytime i switched on my pc it was so slow and when i opened the XP's Task Manager, there was a Kernel.exe (using upto 120,000K of memory) and a couple of disp+work.exe processes running and i thought it was the app server. I've also realised that after a couple of minutes that the Kernel.exe memory usage goes down to less than 20,000K and also not that slow.

Thanks for your reply though.

Hello,

you can also try the following:

1. go to Start -> run...

2. there type in services.msc and click on the OK button

3. search for the two entries "SAPDB: NSP" and "SAPNBP_00"

4. set the startup type to manual

5. restart your machine

Hope it helps.
