Stopping the R/3 System: AS/400 

To stop an R/3 System:

  1. Log on to the AS/400 system using the SAP administrative user profile. This user requires the rights provided by group profile <SID>OPRGRP .
  2. Enter the AS/400 command STOPSAP and press F4=Prompt to prompt for parameters.
  3. For SAP system ID, enter the name of the R/3 System to be stopped.
  4. For R/3 instance, enter the number of the instance to be stopped, for example "90". If you want to stop all instances on a host (or hosts), select *ALL .
  5. For R/3 instance hostname, enter *LOCAL to stop an instance or instances on the local host. To stop all instances on all hosts, select *ALL . (You must also have selected *ALL for R/3 instance.)
  6. If you enter *YES for Wait for instance to end, the STOPSAP command waits until the R/3 instance has gone down before stopping the R/3 System. (The instance is considered to be down when the number of active instance user jobs in the instance subsystem, not including the SAPOSCOL job, is zero.)
  7. For Maximum wait time (seconds), you can specify the maximum time the command is to wait for the instance to come down. The default value is 120 (two minutes). If the instance takes longer than two minutes to come down, an exception message is sent.
  8. Press ENTER to confirm your selections.
