Log on to the AS/400 system using the SAP administrative user profile. This user requires the rights provided by group profile
<SID>OPRGRP

command and press
F4=Prompt
to prompt for parameters.
For SAP system ID, enter the name of the R/3 System (for example, "C11").
For R/3 instance, enter the instance number (for example, "90"). To start all instances on a host (or hosts), select
*ALL
.
For R/3 instance hostname, enter the name of the host on which the instance is to be started. To start all instances on all hosts, select
*ALL
. (You must have also selected
*ALL
for R/3 instance.)
Press
ENTER
to confirm your entries. For each instance started, a subsystem R3_nn will be started (where "nn" is the instance number), along with all the associated R/3 services (such as dispatcher, work processes, spool).
Use AS/400 command
WRKACTJOB SBS(R3_nn)
to check that your R/3 System or Systems started successfully.
In the next screen, look at the entry in the first line of the Status column on the right of the screen. If an R/3 System started correctly, this field should contain the value
RUN
(running),
SELW
(select wait) or
DEQW
(waiting for the completion of a dequeue operation). It may take several minutes for the file system to reach this state.
