Steps to change IP address for SAP B1 server

[Former Member]

Dear Guru

My company is going to change the IP address of SAP B1 server, because I am very new in this area, so pls clarify for me the following doubt

1. May I change the IP address with the SAP B1 is running?

2. If I need to stop the B1 services, how can I stop it? Stop at windows service level? or is there any console for me to stop the service like SAP R3?

3. Do I need to stop the MSSQL service as well?

4. Do I need to reboot the server before I startup the SAP B1 service?

Regards

Dear Guodong,

Just assuming you have only one question since that is the forum rule.

To change IP address for SAP B1 server, you need to Stop and restart the server to prevent the potential problem. B1 is not the same as R/3, you have to stop all B1 related services.

Thanks,

Gordon
