---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes. Java stack can be restarted from abap stack in sap.


SMICM is the transaction code used to restart the java stack in an ABAP + Java stack system.
Login to abap stack of an SAP system and choose transaction SMICM and navigate to
Administration -> AS Java -> Instance (Local) -> Send soft shutdown -> with restart
Please find below screenshot :
Please note, if restart is not required and if you want to only bring down the java stack then
choose without restart option in the above SMICM screen.
Administration -> AS Java -> Instance (Local) -> Send soft shutdown -> without restart

Please note in the above method, we can only restart or bring down local java stack of an
instance. If you would like to restart entire java cluster of an sap system (ie. Global), in SMICM
transaction, navigate to
Administration -> AS Java -> Cluster (Global) -> Send soft shutdown -> with restart

Please find below screenshot for the same


If you would like to just bring down entire java cluster of an SAP system, then navigate as below
in SMICM transaction
Administration -> AS Java -> Cluster (Global) -> Send soft shutdown -> without restart

Also there are 2 methods in restart or bringing down the java stack.
They are
1)Send Soft shutdown : In this method, the abap dispatcher sends a SIGQUIT message to the
jstart process. The AS java will be terminated with a soft shutdown. It means, the abap
dispatcher will not actively close the connection. It will wait and finish the processing of all the
running requests and then shuts down.

2)Send Hard shutdown : In this method, the abap dispatcher sends a SIGINT message to the
jstart process. The AS java will be terminated with a hard shutdown. It means, java processes
will get some time to close. If that time is not sufficient, they are closed with a hard shut down.

The main difference between soft shut down and hard shut down is the hard shut down will
happen quickly within few minutes where as the soft shut down will happen only after
completing the processing of all running requests.

Ending the process (with or without a restart) :


We can also bring down or restart java by using the option “End process” in SMICM.
The abap dispatcher sets the restart flag for AS java and sends the SIGKILL signal to the jstart
process. This terminates the jstart and the AS java with a hard shut down.

Please note that this option should be used only in emergency as processes shutdown in this way
will no longer be able to reach stable state.

Please navigate as below to do the same for local instance.


Administration -> AS Java -> Instance (Local) -> End process -> without restart
Or
Administration -> AS Java -> Instance (Local) -> End process -> with restart
Please navigate as below to bring down or restart java globally for all java clusters.
Administration -> AS Java -> Cluster (Global) -> End Process -> without restart
Or
Administration -> AS Java -> Cluster (Global) -> End Process -> with restart
