Unit 2: Starting and Stopping the SAP System ADM100
Solution 4: Stopping an SAP System
Task 1 Stopping with the Microsoft Management
Console
Stop the SAP system using Microsoft Management Console.
1. Before you stop the SAP system, check which users are logged on to
your system. Send a system message.
a) You can use the global user overview to display the users logged
on to your SAP system: Tools → Administration → Monitor →
Performance → Exceptions/Users → Active Users → Users global
(transaction AL08). In this transaction, you will find your
own user more than once. Transaction AL08 collects the user
information for all instances using RFC connections. This means
that your own user, which initiates the RFC connections, is
displayed additionally once per instance.
To send a system message to the users, choose Tools →
Administration → Administration → System Messages (Transaction
SM02). Choose the Create pushbutton, enter the system message
text, and choose Save.
2. Stop the SAP system using the Microsoft Management Console.
To do this, log on to the server for your training system with the
Terminal Server Client.
a) Start the Terminal Server Client and enter the physical host
name under Server. Choose the display resolution for the remote
connection on your front end, and choose “Connect”. Log on to
the operating system as user adm.
Start the Microsoft Management Console by double clicking
the appropriate icon. Select the desired instance(s) and choose
the Stop function from the context menu (right mouse button).
Depending on whether you have chosen an individual instance
or the SAP system, either an individual instance or the entire
SAPsystemisstopped.
Task 2 Stopping from the Command Line (Optional)
Stop the SAP system using a command call.
1. Log on to the server with the user adm over a Telnet connection.
a) Use the tool specified by the instructor to create a Telnet
connection to your server. Log on with the user adm and
password adm.
