Starting and Stopping the SAP System (Unix) 

Use

You can use the following commands under UNIX to start and to stop the SAP central instance and the database system.

Starting the SAP System

       1.      Log on in UNIX as a user with SAP administrator authorization (<SID>adm).

       1.      Enter the command startsap [DB|R3|ALL] from your home directory. The following applies to this command:

¡        DB starts the database system

¡        R3 starts the instances and associated processes of the SAP System (using the sapstartprogram)

¡        ALL starts both the database system and the SAP System. ALL is the default value and can be left out.

       2.      After you have started the database and the central instance, you can perform other actions within the CCMS.

To check whether all application servers of an SAP System were started correctly, start the Alert Monitor (transaction RZ20) or the Overview of SAP Application Servers (transaction SM51)
