Protocol after system shut down - power failure

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I'm new at basis and I was wondering if you have any tips on what to do if there's a power failure? What should I check, are there any transactions to verify the system is integer and all transactions have been rolled back?

Power failure is a dangerous situation.

Your database may become inconsistent.

A quick checklist would be:

-Try starting only the database first, don't start sap, database most probably wont and might need some sort of recovery ( i am quoting oracle database here) do the required recovery or troubleshooting and make sure that database is not giving out any errors in its log files. if database starts up correctly all is fine.

-if the database starts, start sap, sap normally should start up correctly.

-if SAP starts properly, check system log SM21

-check SM13 check for any failed updates - if there have been failed ones, one needs to carefully analyse them.

-check if the system log is not showing any logs

-check ST22 is not giving any wierd dumps (if it is investigate why)

Can't think of much right now.. maybe you can wait and see what others have to say.
