SAP Landscape Management 3.0, Enterprise Edition

Operations for Custom Hooks

This section describes the operations that are available for custom hooks in SAP Landscape Management.

Standard Operations

Operation

Description

start

Starts the instance.

stop

Stops the instance.

prepare

Binds virtual host names of the instance to network interfaces and mounts remote memory locations to the local file system.

  • If the instance represents a database, registers the database with the operating system and, if necessary, starts the database listeners.

  • If the instance does not represent a database, registers the instance agent with the operating system and starts the instance agent.

    UNIX: Add to file /usr/sap/sapservices.

    Windows: Add to Windows service registry.

unprepare

Unmounts remote memory locations from the local file system and unbinds virtual host names from the network interfaces.

  • If the instance represents a database, detaches the database from the host, stops the database listeners, if necessary, and unregisters the database from the operating system.

  • If the instance does not represent a database, stops the instance agent and unregisters the instance agent from the operating system

    UNIX: Remove from file /usr/sap/sapinstances.

    Windows: Remove from the Windows service registry.

registerIA

Registers and starts the instance agent of an SAP instance.

restartIA

Unregisters and registers the instance agent of an SAP instance.

restartJ2EE

Restarts only the Java processes of a dual stack application server.

For all operations on system level, such as update DNS, clone volumes, or software provisioning manager, SAP Landscape Management generates hooks for all instances of that system, if the hook constraints are applicable.
