Stopping an R/3 System: Windows NT 

Use

You stop the SAP System with the Microsoft Management Console(MMC). A newly installed MMC only allows you to stop an SAP instance that is installed locally on the host that you are logged on to. If the MMC is configured for centralized system management, you can stop the entire SAP System from a single host.

The SAP System can also be stopped at the command prompt.

Procedure

Stopping an SAP System with MMC

  1. On the central system host, start the MMC with Start ® Programs ® SAP R3 Management Console.
  2. In the tree, select the node representing the central instance. If you have configured the MMC for centralized management, select the node representing the SAP System.
  3. Access the context menu by choosing the right mouse button.
  4. Choose Stop.

Depending on whether you selected an individual instance or the SAP System, one of the following is stopped:

sapsrvkill <central>_<sapsid>_<no>

Substitute the strings as follows:

<sapsid> SAP System name, for example, C11
