Query regarding starting and stopping SAP

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have a query regarding stopping and starting SAP in OS i5/DB2 data base platforms.

In windows and unix platforms we can stop and start only sap by using commands stopsap r/3 or startsap r/3 and if we want to stop and start SAP with database services also we use stopsap and startsap.

Can we similarly use the command stopsap r/3 and startsap r/3 in IBM iseries 0S 400 with DB2 database.

Any suggestion and responses are highly appreciated.

Regards

You can use -

"call startsap &SID &INST" on the command line. The parameters for system id and instance number are required. (upto 4.6C).

Hello Sharath,

Yes, you can.

CALL R3<SID>400/R3INLPGM

STARTSAP SID(<SID>) INSTANCE(<instance-number>)

You can also put it into CL program, then

SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(<your-library>/<start-SAP-program)) +

JOB(<anyname>) USER(<SID>OFR) MSGQ(<your-message-queue>)
