Stop and start the system via the SAP GUI

........ although I don't know the answer!
We have SAP running on an iSeries/DB2 format.
And we of course have stopped and started our SAP systems many times before via an iSeries screen.
One thing we have never had to do, is stop and start the system via the SAP GUI.
Is this possible? If so, how is it done?
Surprisingly difficult to find a solution online.

Paui,
You can also do a soft shutdown, which waits till the active users/sessions are logged out (Draing out the sesstions) and no more new users are allowed to login during that time.
Goto SM51, select the instace/server you want to stop then menu --> Goto --> Server Name --> Administration --> Shut Down Server (soft).
Here you can also select a hard shutdown if the situation demands by following the same menu path.
Even though your question is answered but I still wanted to update you the options to select.

  • Firefox4 on ubuntu, after awhile when I click on bookmarks and then move the cursor down to a bookmark, the list of bookmarks disappears. A stop and start of firefox4 fixes the problem but what is the long term fix?

    I upgraded to 4 and I noticed that after 4 has been up for an hour or so I click on the bookmarks. I see my list of bookmarks below but when I move the cursor down to select one, the list disappears.
    The only way I have found to fix this is to stop and start 4. I can then move the cursor down to select a bookmark. This problem has not occurred in previous versions.
    ps.. no '''''delicious''''' installed

    No, I see the three areas at the bottom of the Bookmark area that you refer to, but that also highlights an issue.  When I want to save a story to my Reading List and click on Share then "Add to Reading List" then go back to look at what is stored in the Reading List, my recently-saved item is not there.
    I looked thru the History tab and the Reading List tab and have been in the Bookmark tab.  But even when I Save a Bookmark, that newly-saved Bookmark does not show up in the Bookmark area.
    But then again, the next day (and actually just in the last half-hour) all of the functionality came back.  When I look at the Bookmarks, suddenly, again, all of the Bookmarks that are on my Safari browser on my iMac are now there, and I can now Save a Bookmark.
    It keeps coming in and out and that is what is driving me a little nuts.
    Thanks.

  • Can users who accessed the system via the ITS be identified?

    Dear experts,
    I wondered if there is any SAP system table which provides the information that a certain logged-in user has connected to the SAP-system via the ITS. I couldn't find anything and I've also been searching the SDN forums for that information in vain.
    Thanks in advance for your help
    cheers
    Andreas
    P.S.: In case this should be of any interest in order to answer the question:
    R/3 4.7 Enterprise / SAP_BASIS Release 620 Patchlevel 0063

    Hi Andreas,
    Cristiano is right here. The Access.log will show you the required information in an ITS 6.20 environment
    See the help.sap.com section: [Access Logs |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_webas630/helpdata/eN/32/1166d6f97811d1801d00c04fadbf76/frameset.htm]

  • Podcasts and tv shows videos stop and start when playing.  The Audio flows fine, but video freezes for a moment and continues.  Do you know what I can do to fix?

    When watching a podcast or tv program on itunes the video freezes and starts.  The audio still flows just fine.  Do you know what the solution might be?

    set the wake-on lan on the main computer
    The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
    No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
    The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
    I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

  • What will happen if oracle listener is stopped and started again.....

    Hi Gurus,
    Please suggest What will happen if oracle listener is stopped and started again on a running SAP System ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Lakhbir,
    What will happen is that, all SAP work processes will loose connection to the database.
    If any active jobs(background jobs, updates, insert to database ) are running, they may fail. All the work processes will go to a re-connect state.
    ( There are few notes on WP reconnect which you can check and read about)
    DB Reconnect Parameters - SAP High Availability - SAP Library
    Application will be running but users will not be able to do any activity or may not be able to login at all and may get errors  like ( No connect to database possible)
    As soon as you start the listener process again , all the work processes will connect to the database again.
    This is because the WPs will keep on trying to connect to database at regular interval and as soon as the connection is available they will re-connect.
    You do not have to restart any work process manually in SM50 or anywhere else as this feature is enabled by default until disabled manually.
    Thanks

  • Recording stops and starts up again

    So i was recording a gig and it would stop and start up again throughout
    the event.  I was not running anything else on my laptop but onlocation.  My virus protection was turned
    off since I was in a non-wifi location.
    Here are my specs for my laptop.
    HP-HDX18
    Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo CPU
    T9900 @ 3.06 GHz-3.07GHz
    Memory 6GB
    64 Bit Windows Vista - Waiting for my Windows 7 upgrade to come in.
    500 GB HD
    Rating of 5.4

    When I first tried it out...  it was a band new laptop.  Nothing was running
    on it except on location.  I turned off the screen saver and virus
    protection.  There was no pattern of when it would glitch it would just do
    it.  Some a few seconds apart to a few minutes apart.  Yes my disk very
    defragmented which I always do after installing and uninstalling programs.
    So I know everything was up to par at that time.  I also have premiere pro
    cs4 on it and it runs fine with no hiccups.  Just on location does this.  I
    kind of notice at one time it seemed like it would hiccup when the audio
    level dropped.  But then again it would do it when someone was on the mic
    talking too.  So I'm clueless... and I believe its going to be very hard to
    diagnose.

  • Tools and Script for stopping and starting SAP instances in the landscape

    Hi All,
    All our SAP system are on Windows 2003 and very few on Windows 2000.
    Is there any possiblity for having a script which will stop and start SAP on all the instances in the Landscape from a central system?
    Lets say we have some 200 SAP instances and we need to down all the instances for Windows patching.
    In this case, we need to manually take remote desktop to stop and start all the instances one by one.
    Also, do we have any 3rd party automated tools for this purpose?
    Regards,
    Siva.

    Hi Siva,
    You can configure ACC for your system landscape.

    Could anybody provide the sequence to stop and start xMII?
    Is it different from xMii11.* to xMii12.*?
    Thanks!

    Yes, the steps are same as what I suggested before.
    You can find plenty of material on SDN like blogs, articles, best practices and so on...
    The best place would be to start with is [MII WIKI|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=15601]
    Below are few other very useful links,
    [Blogs|Weblogs related to SAP xMII; ( you can also find many blogs under category Manufacturing, xapps, mii etc.. on SDN)
    [Best Practices Guide|MII 12.X Best Practice Guide is now available;
    And also can find loads of threads on MII 12.x, 11.x installations/configurations/troubleshooting simply use large search date range.
    Hope this helps!!

  • WHENEVER i SURF THE WEB AND PLAY ITUNES MUSIC, THE ITUNES MUSIC STICKS AND SKIPS AND STOPS AND STARTS. i HAVE BRAODBAND COnNECTION AND AN ADEQUATE MODEM

    WHENEVER i SURF THE WEB AND PLAY ITUNES MUSIC, THE ITUNES MUSIC STICKS AND SKIPS AND STOPS AND STARTS. i HAVE BRAODBAND COnNECTION AND AN ADEQUATE MODEM

    I am experiencing the same problem, not being able to access internet at the same time as streaming iTunes music through an Airport Express.
    Our configuration consists ot; an iMac G5 and an AirPort Express connected to a cable modem.
    This problem first occurred using iTunes 7.0, now updated to iTunes 7.0.1, along with OS X 10.4.8
    I have followed the Apple troubleshooting guide - without success to this point. The internet can be accessed (although slower than usual). However when the AX is set, using the AirPort Admin Utility to provide an AX provided IP address to the computer, the internet disappears, but iTunes can play over the network via the AX station.
    I am suspecting a damaged preference file, or something of that nature, but am not sure what file(s) to be searching for.
    Any help here would be appreciated.
    thanx

  • How to stop and start only the process of Oracle Application Express?

    I'd like to know how to stop the process of Oracle Application Express on my server installed oracle express package.
    After installed Oracle Express edition, not only oracle database server processes but also Oracle Application Express, such as http server, is started automatically...
    I hope to stop and start Application Express on demand but is this feature enabled?

    Oracle Apex is an API, if that helps you understand / visualize. You do not start Apex process nor stop it.
    When an Apex session starts it starts calling the API.
    You can however start / stop the listener. It may be OHS, ApexListener and the J2EE container running it, OC4J or any other "server" that you are using.
    The built-in EPG is something like an API again, you cannot start / stop it but you can disable/enable it with DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT API.

    That would indicate a network issue.
    Reboot ATV and router
    Make sure DNS is set to auto
    Ensure router is up to date, if on wifi try ethernet
    Go to istumbler.net to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

    Then repair the backup/TM drive.

  • Hello! My iMac frozed and I had to switch the electricty supply off and on in order to start again the system, with the problem that the screen looks wierd, I tried to calibrate it... doesnt works any suggestion?

    hello! My iMac frozed and I had to switch the electricty supply off and on in order to start again the system, with the problem that the screen looks wierd, I tried to calibrate it... doesnt works any suggestion?

    Dear Paul, thank you very much for your time and answer, I followed those steps, somehow it helped the performance of my Imac, is faster now, but the screen issue about the very High contrast colours is still there. Since I am a photographer I am very depending on the screen calibration. I am worried that I came to damage the video card when I shut down the computer from the swicth when It was frozed.

  • Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again while  playing music in iTunes.  It was fixed but with the last update it has started skipping again.

    Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again whil playing music in itunes.  It was working fine wit the prior fix, but after the last update
    it started skipping again. 

    Try it in another vehicle see if it still happens, at least you can narrow it down to your  phone or the car. My 4s play totally fine, I have never had any of those issues. Maybe its time to restore your phone and start over. I would also have someone else play their Iphone in your car, see if it happens to them. Or try yours in someone elses car. Good Luck!
