Take care when you select an instance that you want to start or stop. If the dialog instance and central instance are running on the same host, you can only distinguish between the two on the basis of their instance number. For example, the names of the central instance and dialog instance displayed could be: BIN p18357 53 and BIN p18357 54.
A useful feature of the MMC allows you to create subdirectories in the scope pane using the context menu of the Console Root. By choosing the option New ® Folder you can create subdirectories under Console Root or under other directories already created. The root node of the SAP snap-in can also be moved simply by using drag and drop. This enables you to create any complex structure you wish.
