Shutting down instances

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I need to shut down our quality instances as they are not going to be used so can you please let me know how to shut down instances with commands.

OS:UNIX

SAP VERSION:4.6

We dont have sap level access and what we have is OS level admin access and we need to do it from OS level so let me know what to do and what needs to be taken care while shutting down instances.

Thanks&Regards,

Raj

Login with SIDADM

run Stopsap r3 to stop only the application and not the database.

run stopsap to stop the Sap Application with the database.Then you have to stop the SAPOSCOL and somf of the services that shall be Running.

use saposcol -k

or

Kill -9 <pid>

Check the processes that are running By command

ps-eaf | grep sap | grep SID

Log on in UNIX as a user with SAP administrator authorization ( <SysID>adm). Enter the command stopsap [DB|R3|ALL] from your home directory. The following applies to this command:

DB stops the database system

R3 stops the instances and associated processes of the SAP System

ALL stops both the database system and the SAP System.
