How to Start a SAP Server

How to Start a SAP Server



You start or stop the SAP system with the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). With a newly installed MMC, you only start or stop installed SAP instances locally on the host that you are logged on to. If the MMC is configured for central system administration, you can start or stop the entire SAP system from a single host.

Procedure

  1.  Start the MMC on the SAP system host by choosing Start  Programs  SAP Management Console.
  2.  Right-click the SAP system node and choose Start or Stop.
All instances listed under the system node, will start or stop in the correct order.
  3.  If the SAP system is installed on multiple hosts (distributed system), you have the following options to start or stop your system:
¡  You start or stop the SAP instances using the MMC on each host.
¡  You add the remote instances to the MMC configuration to start or stop all instances from a single MMC. To do so, use one of the following options to configure the MMC:
§  You configure the MMC manually.
For more information, see, Changing the Configuration of the MMC.
§  You use the automatic LDAP registration.
For more information, see Configuring MMC for Active Directory Services.
