SAP Production system restart

[Former Member]

Hello guys

We have one scenario and want to know the best practice in SAP world for ECC6 system

Scenario:before upgrade to ECC 6 EHP4 we had 4.7 system as our production system

After mass transport to PR1 we used to take restart of system every month

Once we observed some problems with newly got object in system and restart solved it so the practice continued for every month

Our thinking now : since we have now latest version of SAP and restarting has it own things like buffers gets reset and takes some time to fill in again . So now I do not think it is required for every month unless we have some maintenance on PR1 but need to correct me

What we want to know now: We want to know

what is SAP's best practice for production restart,frequency ,does mass transports has some issues

Please suggest on this

Thanks a ton

Hi,

I never restarted production server for any transport reasons. As such I don't find any SAP best practice for the restart of the production system. We used to restart production only when there is requirement for this like parameter activation etc.

Anyway, if you can share what kind of problem you faced in mass transport then we can suggest you something.

Thanks

Sunil is Right

Don't restart sap system production.

Except:

1. Change parameter of instance profile

2. Apply sap kernel

3. Any issue that require restart system

or in my case my backup is offline, the sapsystem is stopped.

There is no need to restart SAP servers unless there is a need. In my experience, I have found *nix based installations more stable than windows based instalaltions.

You may choose to carry out the transports during low load but does not need restart.
