Starting and Stopping SAP Systems and Instances on Windows

Is there a way to automatically stop/start instances on windows at boot time?
I don't want to have to logon after a reboot and go into the mmc and start the app manually.
Thanks,
Dan

Dan ,
As Juan said it could cause problems while starting SAP at startup.
Still if you really want to implement this...
This is what I have found ... I never tried this but hope this should work.
1. you must make sure that SAP[SID]_00 service is set to start automatically.
2. you must edit your SAP START profile and add this line:
Autostart=1
3. make sure that the line you added IS NOT the last one in your file. if it is, your added parameter could be ignored.
to test this out, shutdown SAP and your database, then shutdown the SAP[SID]_00 service. now start it. open SAPMMC to see if you see any starting activity. it should work fine.
Let us know if it works.

Starting and stopping SAP in Unix

Hi,
Pls tell me the command to start and stop sap in Unix.
I dont want to start and stop the Database
Pls help

Log on in UNIX as a user with SAP administrator authorization (<sid>adm).
To start the central instance, call the shell script
startsap_<host>_<instance no> in the home directory
of the <sid>adm user. If there is only one instance for each application server, the
alias startsap points to the script startsap_<host>_<instance no>.
The script startsap first starts the saposcol process which collects statistical
data for the operating system that it provides to the SAP system.
The next step is a check to see if the database is running. If not, the script
startdb is called to start the database.
The final step starts all of the processes for the instance (message server,
dispatcher, work processes, and so on).
After the central instance is started, you can optionally start other instances.
The startsap script can be called with the following options:
DB: starts the database system
R3: starts the instances and associated processes for the instance
ALL: starts the database system and the instance (default setting, can be omitted)
To start the SAP system, the startsap script calls the sapstart process with
the start profile specified in the script in the variable START_FILES.
The stopsap script can be called with the following options:
DB: stops the database system with the help of the stopdb script
R3: stops the instances of the SAP system
ALL: stops the database system and the instance (default setting, can be
omitted)
The database can be stopped separately with database tools.

Stop SAP - CI and AS

Hello,
I have a system that has primary CI + AS and standby CI + AS.
What is the best order to stop/start them ?
STOP:
on the Primary I stop first the DB or the AS that has no DB ?
I would say that I have to stop AS ( SAP ) and then on CI ( SAP + DB ).
on the Standby I stop first the stby AS (SAP) and than the STBY CI. ( SAP +DB )
START:
on the primary I start the CI ( SAP + DB ) and then start the AS ( SAP ).
on the stby I start the CI ( SAP +DB ) and then start the AS ( SAP).
Of course I will check the synchronization afer.
Thanks in advance to let me know if this is the order.

You will stop the system in following order:
1) AS
2) CI
3) DB
Starting up will be reverse order: DB, CI and last AS.
Not sure why you need Standby SAP (CI and AS) system ? Normally its just the DB that companies implement as a standby.
Hope this helps.

Connect b/w SAP and Non SAP -system

Hi All,
I have a requirement where i need to connect between a SAP system and Non-Sap System.
the front end is an E-Build tool (for construction Industry) from where the user will pick the data and the data should get store at the backend i.e in the SAP system.
E-build is a tool for construction industry with lots of flexible options for the user to check for their house, along with their prices.
These all data needs to be captured and store at the backend.
Can any one suggest me which method shall i go for this in ABAP(and How) or need to go for the XI-Netweaver or EP technology.
Thanks & Regards
Mona

you better to go for middleware tools . keep files( whichs contains data to be stored in SAP) in one folder at 3p systems and middleware adapters will pick that filles automatically and sent it to Application server or then process the data into SAP.
tks.. venkat

Idoc b/w sap(r/3) and non sap system .

hi gurus,
how i pass an outbound idoc b/w sap(r/3) and non sap system .
which function module we will use in this scenerio for inbound and outbound idoc both
please guide me with an example .

Hi Pawan,
Non SAP system should have RFC adapter in order to receive and send Idocs from/to SAP.
If this is not your case, you should us a Integrator Middelware with RFC and standard adapters like SAP Exchange Infrastructure.
If for example, your non SAP system is able to process data from flat files you can build next interface: SAP send Idocs to middleware that receive them using RFC adapter, middelware maps Idocs into flat file and send it to a one of non SAP system folder using FTP adapter. Non sap system triggers the flat file into its applications.
Reward points if useful.

Scenario for interface between a non sap system and a SAP erp

Hello,
I need some help in order to elaborate a interface between a SAP ERP and a non-sap system with the help of a XI system.
   - At first regarding the interface from the non sap system and a SAP ERP :
       the non sap system sends a flat file to the XI system. The flat file contains a row with header data and rows with item data. We were thinking when the file arrives to the XI system, to save the data in a header database and in a items database in XI. is it possible ?
And then to have like a job that reads the database and creates idoc and sends them to the SAP erp and updates the xi header and items database with a flag that means that the records have been sent to the SAP erp.
   -   Regarding the interface SAP erp to non SAP system:
       the SAP erp sends idoc to XI. Then the idocs are transformed into flat file.
Is this scenario possible ?
Do we need any adaptator between the non sap system and the XI ?
Thank you for your help
Christophe

Hi Bontron,
Idoc doesnot support synchronous call. So you can use either proxy or function module and inturn call the idoc from them and send response back to xi. You need to have two scenarios for your design.
Scenario1:   Source File (file adapter) -- xi -- Dump into database tables (Jdbc Adapter)
Scenrio2: Pickup form Database tables (Jdbc Adapter) -- xi -- RFC Adapter ---> This is synchronous call.
Regarding the interface SAP erp to non SAP system
You can send idoc to xi and from there use File adapter to send to the receiving system.
These blogs may help you to some extent:
/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/06/01/file-to-jdbc-adapter-using-sap-xi-30
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/step%2bby%2bstep%2bRFC%2bto%2bJDBC%2bscenario   (your scenario will be opposite to this)

Archiving Information from "old" SAP systems and switch off the server

Good day
I hope someone can offer some advice. Our company has a few sites across the globe. Three of the sites in South Africa ( where I'm working at the moment ) had their own SAP systems. Three odd years ago, we implementeted a new SAP system, combining the separate SAP systems into the new one, running of the same box etc etc. The "old" SAP systems were still availbale after the new one went live, in the event that people want to look back at history.
We are you busy with a project where we are going to merge our current SAP implementation into our global SAP system... obviously only the current master data are going to be transfered to the new system. It's an idea time for us to clean up our data.
My question: Once we go live on our global SAP system, we want to "export" or archive from the 3 "old" SAP systems the Master Data from the HR module ( like employees who's left the company - it's law to keep the records for 5 years at least once a employee has left) , HSEC and FI modules into a single datastore... this way we don't have to keep the three servers running in the event that history is required. The servers wil be kept off-line and only switched back on if a detailed audit is required.
The global SAP system does not have an archive solution implemented to we can't access archived data from the new system...
So, we need to export master data from our 3 old SAP boxes into a Unicode type file system, and our local South African sites needs to be able to access the information using a text type editor or a web based interface we can run off our SAP Portal...
Thank you

Hello Cornelius,
To introduce myself, I am an active SDN/BPX member as well as an ASUG Archiving and Information Lifecycle Management Volunteer.
Decommissioning Legacy Systems (SAP and non-SAP systems) is quite the topic these days with divestitures becoming such a common occurrence.
Some things to think about in this situation are:
Identifying the data to be decommissioned:
what information would be needed for an audit
what information would be needed for a lawsuit situation
Identifying the access requirements to this data.
Identifying the retention policies for this data (this will be
driven by regulatory requirements, etc.).
If this has not already been done - define retention periods for this data - it will most likely have different retention periods based on the type of data.
You mention that you do not have an archive solution in place yet.
I would recommend that you may want to research that option because typical requirements for retaining legacy data is that it is stored in such a manner so that it is protected from any type of modification.
There are a lot of 3rd party archiving/storage solutions that provide this type of secure storage.
You are correct in that you will want to export or archive the legacy data as opposed to loading the data into your current system. It would probably involve a large increase in the size of your SAP database and you would probably run into number range overlaps.
But, if this data is exported to a filesystem, you will be losing the business logic associated with the data, and the information is no longer in its original format (this could have legal ramifications).
I would recommend using SAP Archiving functionality for this effort. If you are looking for outside resources, there are many vendors out there that have a lot of experience with these types of projects.
Two that come to mind are Dolphin IT and OpenText.
Or, depending on the timeline of your project, SAP is coming out with a tool that can be used for decommissioning SAP Systems. It is part of
their SAP ILM solution. It will be called Retention Warehouse. Here is a paragraph from their latest white paper describing this new tool:
With the retention warehouse, SAP now offers a
standardized method for system decommissioning in
answer to these pressing issues. It allows you to reuse the archived data outside the original system in a central
retention warehouse.
For more detail on this topic, the white paper can be found on the SAP ILM Website:
service.sap.com/ilm
This tool is part of a larger initiative from SAP to help customers with their ILM (Information Lifecycle Management) strategy. This tool is near and dear to me as I was fortunate enough to be part of an
ASUG Influence Council that helped with some of the requirements for this solution.
I hope this information is useful.
Good luck and Best Regards,
Karin Tillotson

Hi Ravi,
do you have the following 2 parameters set in instance & start profile ?
DIR_CT_RUN = $(DIR_EXE_ROOT)/run
DIR_EXECUTABLE = /usr/sap/<sid>/SYS/exe/run
if not, that is the reason ...

Many thanks lllaass,
The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.

Difference btw: Distributed, High-Availability and Additional SAP System Instances

Hello,
In the installation Doc for NW 741, there is 3 other installations scenarios beside the single instance, can you pl. highlight the difference?
Cheers,
F

Hello Fouad,
Distributed landscape:
In distributed landscape, every instance can run on a separate host
- Central services instance for ABAP ( ASCS)
- Enqueue replication server instance (ERS instance ) for ASCS instance
- Database instance
- Primary application server instance (PAS)
High availability :
In high availability ,all above instances can run on seperate host. Here you can run all instance in switchover cluster infrastructure. That means ,for any instance if one node in cluster fails ,it switch over to other other node and still operations can run without any distrubance.
Additional SAP instance:
Additional SAP aaplication instance can be installed to scale the performance of an SAP system. It can be installed on one of the above instance host or on differnt host.
The term "additional application server instance "was introduced to replace term dialog instance from SAP Netweaver 7.1 and higher.
For more and detailed information ,you can refer to Installation guide for the SAP release you are planning to install and for DB/OS combination.
Hope this helps.

Archana

Starting and stopping SAP J2EE Engine

Hi guys,
         I have downloaded and installed trial version of SAP Web Application Server (SAP Web AS) Java 6.40 for Microsoft Windows XP.
   I wanted to launch SAP J2EE Engine and Software Deployment Manager (SDM) to run my web dynpro application. The Netweaver Developer studio getting started guide has a link for starting and stopping the SAP J2EE Engine but its not working for me. I get an error with the link.
Is it possible for someone to let me know how to launch J2EE engine and SDM. Also what server settings I need to make in the menu path Window -> Preferences -> SAP J2EE Engine.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mandar

Hi Ivaylo and Thomas,

   -ws win32
   -arch x86
   -feature com.sap.java.ide
   -showsplash C:\Program Files\SAP\JDT\eclipse\SAPIde.exe -showsplash 600
Any idea why I get this error and how to fix it. My Netweaver Developer studio did startup few times and I did write some code in it. But now when I try to start NDS, I get the above error.
Any help will be appreciated.

Discovery of SAP Systems and Applications

I want to discover all the SAP systems present in my organization (System Landscape). Also, I want to get the information about the applications installed in them, for instance CRM, SRM etc. I believe I can use CCMS to do this which has this information in it's central repository but then all the remote repositories have to register themselves initially. What if one or more of them have not registered?? I somehow want to get the fool-proof information regarding all the systems whether they are registered or not. Any ideas or suggestions regarding this please??? Thanks in advance!!

first you need to activate and start you sld to do this select any of your system login to sld http://host name:50xx00/sld where xx is your instance number
from the abap side you need to sldapicust and set the logon
credentials for you abap system to SLD and then got to RZ70 and execute it(this whill schedule a job in the BTC) after this got o sldcheck and see if this is working fine
form the java side logon to visual admin go to server then services select sld data supplier and enter the logon information in HTTP tab and select test/trigger buttton on the top
there are lot of tutorials in this website on how to configure SLD in this website
you will also get a step by step document on setting up SLD at http://host name:50xx0/sld/doc/sld.pdf
