Stopping an R/3 System: Windows NT 

The following describes how to stop the R/3 System or individual instances using the SAP Service Manager. You can also perform these tasks using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). SAP recommends the use of the MMC as it provides many new functions and simplifies system management. For more information, see Microsoft Management Console: Windows NT.

To stop an R/3 System that only consists of one central instance:

  1. Log on to Windows NT as the R/3 administrator ( <SAPSID>ADM , e.g. C11ADM ).
  2. Stop the central instance of your R/3 System:

When the stoplights for all processes displayed in the SAP Service Manager window are "gray", the R/3 System has been stopped.

The SAP Service Manager checks the activity in an R/3 instance only when the processes of the instance have ended. Make sure that there are no active users or background jobs running before you shut down the instance. To do this, use the CCMS or the tools under menu options Tools ® Administration ® Control.
  1. The database is not stopped in this stop procedure. Therefore stop the database for the R/3 System after the stop procedure if necessary. To do this, use the database-specific commands or administration tools that may be available, for example SAPDBA for ORACLE/INFORMIX.

To stop an R/3 System that consists of several instances:

  1. Stop all dialog instances. To do this, you can use the SAP Service Manager or the R/3 tool CCMS.

    2. To access the CCMS stop functions, select Tools ® Administration ® Computing Center ® Management System ® Control ® System Monitor in the R/3 main menu.

    See: Starting and Stopping Instances

  2. Stop the central instance. To do this, proceed as described in the section To stop an R/3 System that only consists of one central instance.
  3. The database is not stopped in this stop procedure. Therefore stop the database for the R/3 System after the stop procedure if necessary. To do this, use the database-specific commands or administration tools that may be available, for example SAPDBA for ORACLE/INFORMIX.
