Sap Basis Questions: Starting and Stopping The SAP System (Unix)

To start SAP R/3, the shell script startsap is run from the home directory of the SAP administrator user. Startsap starts the database if not already running using startdb, and then starts the central instance. Additional instances and application servers can then be started by the administrator. Startsap has options to start just the database, just the instance, or both. Before stopping R/3, the administrator should check for active jobs, running work processes, and open update records, warn users, and log off remaining users.

How do you start SAP R/3?


A. To start R/3, run the shell script startsap from the home directory of user adm. startsap starts the saposcol process, which is the statistics collector for operating system resource data, if it is not yet running. startsap calls the script startdb, which starts the database if it is not already started. startsap then starts the central instance. The R/3 System administrator can start additional instances and application servers.

To start the instances independently of the database, use the script startsap. startsap has the following options: startsap r3: Checks if the database is running; if it is, only the instance is started startsap db: Starts only the database startsap all: Default entry; starts both the database and the R/3 instance

What are the step involved before stopping R/3 system


A) Before stopping any R/3 system following steps are basic steps to be performed. Before the R/3 System is stopped, the R/3 System administrator should check the: Check if any background jobs from any application server are active or have been triggered externally. Use transaction SM37 Check if the background work process BTC is running in any application server. Check if any update records are open when the system is stopped, the records are rolled back and set to status init. At startup, the records are processed again. The administrator must decide whether to interrupt the jobs or wait until they are finished. Give system users advance warning of the system shutdown. To create a system message, you can use transaction SM02. Before shutting down the system, use transaction SM04 to check whether users are still logged on, and ask them to log off. The R/3 System administrator and administrators of external systems should also inform one another about data transfers between their respective systems.
