Starting and Stopping SAP UNIX

Starting and Stopping SAP Systems and Instances UsingCommands (Unix)

You can start and stop SAP systems and instances using the startsap and stopsap commands.

You can use command line options to specify these commands. Command line options are available in new style or old style.

Using New Style for Command Line Options and Parameters

Using new style, the syntax is as follows:

stopsap | stopsap [-t | -task <task>] [-i | -instance <instance>] [-v | -vhost "<virtual hostname>[ <virtual

hostname>]*"][-c | -check] [-h | -help] [-V | -VERSION] [-C | -checkVHost]

If you want to start an ABAP or dual-stack (ABAP+Java) central instance DVEBGMS00 that has the virtual host names cic11 and cic12, enter the

following commands :

startsap -t r3 -i DVEBGMS00 -v "cic11 cic12"

If you want to start a Java central instance JC00 that has the virtual host names cic11 and cic12, enter the following commands :

startsap -t j2ee -i JC00 -v "cic11 cic12"

The following command line options and parameters are available:

Command Line Options (New Style)

Parameter Name Description

[-t | -task <task>] Specify task

[-i | -instance <instance>] Specify SAP system instance

[-v | -vhost "<virtual hostname>[ <virtual hostname>]*"] Specify virtual host names

[-c | -check] Check database and SAP instance status

[-h | -help] Display help

[-V | -VERSION] Display startsap script version

[-C | -checkVHost] Check virtual host name

Parameters for <task> (New Style)


check Check status of database and SAP system instances

r3 | j2ee Start or stop SAP instances only. You can use either r3 or j2ee, regardless

if the instance to be started or stopped is an ABAP or Java instance.

db Start or stop ABAP database only

jdb Start or stop Java database only

all | <blank> Start or stop database and SAP instance

startupsrv Start or stop sapstartsrv program

Parameters for <instance> where <nn> is the instance number


DVEBMGS<nn> ABAP central Instance

D<nn> ABAP dialog instance

ASCS<nn> ABAP central services instance (ASCS instance)

SCS<nn> Java central services instance (SCS instance)

J<nn> Java central instance

TRX<nn> TREX instance

Using Old Style for Command Line Options and Parameters

Using old style, the syntax is as follows:

stopsap | stopsap [db|r3|j2ee|all|check|startupsrv] [<instance>] [<virtual hostname>]

If you want to start an ABAP or dual-stack (ABAP+Java) central instance DVEBGMS00 that has the virtual host names cic11 and cic12, enter the

following commands :

startsap r3 DVEBGMS00 cic11 cic12

If you want to start a Java central instance DVEBGMS00 that has the virtual host names cic11 and cic12, enter the following commands :

startsap j2ee JC00 cic11 cic12

The following command line options and parameters are available:

Command Line Options (Old Style)


check [<instance>] [<virtual hostname>] Check status of database and SAP system instances

r3 | j2ee [<instance>] [<virtual hostname>] Start or stop SAP instances only. You can use either r3 or j2ee, regardless

if the instance to be started or stopped is an ABAP or Java instance.

db [<instance>] [<virtual hostname>] Start or stop ABAP database only

jdb [<instance>] [<virtual hostname>] Start or stop Java database only

all | <blank> Start or stop database and all SAP system instances running on the same

physical host

startupsrv Start or stop sapstartsrv program

Parameters for <instance> where <nn> is the instance number


DVEBMGS<nn> ABAP central Instance

D<nn> ABAP dialog instance

ASCS<nn> ABAP central services instance (ASCS instance)

SCS<nn> Java central services instance (SCS instance)

JC<nn> Java central instance

J<nn> Java dialog instance

TRX<nn> TREX instance

ERS<nn> Enqueue replication server instance (ERS instance)

SMDA<nn> Diagnostics agent instance

W<nn> Web services instance

G<nn> Gateway instance

Prerequisites

Make sure that you have logged on to the physical host of the SAP system instances as user <sapsid>adm.

Make sure that the host names defined in the DNS server match the names of the SAP system instance hosts. In particular, keep in mind that host names

are case-sensitive. For example, if the names of the SAP system instance hosts are in upper case, but the same host names are defined in the DNS server

in lower case, starting and stopping the system does not work.

If you want to use startsap or stopsap (for example, in a script) and require the fully qualified name of these SAP scripts, create a link to the startsap

script in the home directory of the corresponding user.

You cannot use startsap or stopsap commands in a switchover cluster environment. Therefore in a high-availability (HA) system you must use the

failover cluster software of your HA partner to start or stop instances running on the switchover cluster.

You cannot use startsap or stopsap commands to start or stop database-specific tools. For more information about how to start or stop database-

specific tools, see the database-specific information in this documentation and the documentation from the database manufacturer.

Make sure that no SAP instance is running before you execute stopsap on a standalone database server. No automatic check is made.

When you use stopsap in a Multiple Components in One Database (MCOD) system with two central instances, only one central instance and the database

are shut down. Therefore, you must first stop the other SAP system or make sure that it has already been stopped.

Procedure

Starting an SAP System

If you want to start all SAP system instances running on the same host, execute the following command:

New style: startsap or startsap -t all

Old style:startsap or startsap all

If you want to start SAP system instances separately, enter the following command:

Please enter your feedback in English.

New style:startsap -t r3|j2ee -i <instance> [-v "<virtual host name>"]

Old style:startsap r3|j2ee <instance> [<virtual host name>]

Make sure that you adhere to the following sequence when starting the instances:

ABAP system:

Database instance1.

Central instance2.

Dialog instances (if available)3.

Java system:

Database instance1.

SCS instance2.

Central instance3.


Dual-stack (ABAP+Java) system:

Database instance1.

SCS instance2.

Central instance3.


Stopping an SAP System

If you want to stop all SAP system instances running on the same host, execute the following command:

New style: stopsap or stopsap -t all

Old style:stopsap or stopsap all

If you want to stop SAP system instances separately, enter the following command:

New style:stopsap -t r3|j2ee -i <instance> [-v "<virtual host name>"]

Old style:stopsap r3|j2ee <instance> [<virtual host name>]

Make sure that you adhere to the following sequence when stopping the instances:

ABAP system:


Central instance2.

Database instance3.

Java system:


Central instance2.

SCS instance3.

Database instance4.

Dual-stack (ABAP+Java) system:


Central instance2.

SCS instance3.

Database instance4.
