You can use the SAP Management Console perspective to start, stop, and restart SAP systems and instances. In the SAP MC, you can extend the list of SAP systems and instances you want to monitor and administer from a single tool. By default, the SAP MC displays the instances installed on the host to which you are connected. If you want to start, stop or restart remote systems or instances, they need to be registered in the SAP MC.

Prerequisites

  • You have opened the SAP MC perspective in the Developer Studio.

  • You have registered the system.

  • You must have administrative permissions to start, stop, or restart systems and instances. Before completing the relevant operation, the system prompts you for the operating system (OS) <SID>adm administration credentials.

Procedure

  1. In the SAP Management Console navigation view, open the tree structure and navigate to the system node you want to start.

  2. From the context menu of the system node, choose Start.
