Starting and Stopping the System Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

During the installation, the SAP system is started automatically with all instances on all blades.

You can use the appliancecontrol tool to manually stop and start the entire SAP system or individual instances. The procedure for doing this is described here.

In addition, there is a range of standard SAP NetWeaver ways to start and stop SAP systems, for example using the SAP Management Console. For more information, see the technical operations manual for SAP NetWeaver.

Caution Caution

Note that the SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search system does not work or only works in limited form if not all instances are running.

End of the caution.

Note Note

If you start a dual-stack instance (AS ABAP, AS Java) individually, the system first checks whether or not the MaxDB instance is running. If the MaxDB instance is not running, the system starts it automatically before starting the dual-stack instance.
