Starting and Stopping SAP Systems

You can use the SAP Management Console perspective to start, stop, and restart SAP systems and instances.

Prerequisites

  • You have opened the SAP Management Console perspective in the NWDS.

  • You have registered the system.

  • You must have administrative permissions to start, stop, or restart systems and instances. Before completing the relevant operation, the system prompts you for the operating system (OS) administrator user credentials (user <sapsid>adm).

Context

In the SAP Management Console (SAP MC), you can extend the list of SAP systems and instances you want to monitor and administer from a single tool. By default, the SAP MC displays the instances installed on the host to which you are connected. If you want to start, stop, or restart remote systems or instances, they need to be registered in the SAP MC.

With this version of the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS), you are able to start and stop database instances if the SAP host control is installed on your central instance.

Procedure


  • Proceed as follows to start an SAP system:

    1. In the SAP Management Console navigation view, open the tree structure and navigate to the system node you want to start.

    2. From the context menu of the system node, choose Start .

    3. In the Start SAP System(s) dialog box, choose the required options.

    4. Choose OK . The SAP MC starts the SAP system instances.
