Function Module for Starting/Stopping/Initializing 
To enable you to start/stop/initialize an SAP liveCache database from outside the SAP system as well as within it, corresponding function modules have been implemented. This also means that an SAP liveCache database can be started/stopped/initialized by calling the corresponding function module from scripts.
The function modules concerned are those listed below, from function group SLCR:
Function Module Name |
Corresponding Function in the SAP System |
|---|---|
START_LIVECACHE_LVC |
Report RSLVCSTART, Start liveCache |
STOP_LIVECACHE_LVC |
Report RSLVCSTOP, Stop liveCache |
INITIALIZE_LIVECACHE_LVC |
Report RSLVCINIT, Initialize liveCache |
Prerequisites
The RFCruntime and RFC SDK libraries are installed on your local host (as part of the complete SAP GUI installation). This means that you have the program STARTRFC, required to call the function modules. As of SAP NetWeaver 720, STARTRFC is no longer included in the RFC SDK. For more information, see SAP Note 1581595. You can therefore no longer use STARTRFC to call these function modules.
Note
The function modules START_LIVECACHE_LVC and STOP_LIVECACHE_LVC are not available for an SAP liveCache OneDB.
