Use the SAP Management Console (SAP MC) to start and restart SAP systems and instances. As of SAP MC version 7200, 313, 20, 42101 you can also start databases of SAP systems on all operating system platforms using the SAP MC.

Prerequisites

  • UNIX only:

    Make sure that the host names defined in the DNS server match the names of the SAP system instance hosts. In particular, keep in mind that host names are case-sensitive. For example, if the names of the SAP system instance hosts are in upper case, but the same host names are defined in the DNS server in lower case, starting and stopping the system does not work.

  • If you want to start or restart remote systems or instances, make sure that you have registered them in the SAP MC.

    You do not need to register SAP systems or instances installed on the local host, because the SAP MC displays them automatically.

  • You have started the SAP MC.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane of the SAP MC, open the tree structure and navigate to the system node that you want to start.

  2. Select the system node and then choose Start from the context menu.

    The Start SAP System(s) dialog box displays.

  3. In the Start SAP System(s) dialog box, select the SAP system instances to be started and choose OK.

  4. The SAP MC prompts you for user credentials that are required to start the SAP system or instances.

    Note Note

    If the database of the SAP system is not yet running, you might be also prompted for additional credentials of a user that is authorized to start the database.

    End of the note.

Result

The SAP MC starts the requested SAP system or instances.
