How to Stop SAP from OS Level UNIX Operating System
Stopping the SAP Instance in Unix
The stopping of a SAP instance is practically the reversal of the start up
Process; stop the SAP instance, stop the Oracle Listener, and stop the SAP OS Collector. The only real difference is that the stopsap script will NOT stop the SAP OS Collector for you, you have to stop that manually once everything else it down. There could be other SAP instances still running so the OS Collector needs to continue to gather information.
1. Log on to the appropriate server with the user which have SAP administrator authorization (<SID>adm)
fyi, stopsap is the command used to STOP SAP/ Database or ALL.
2. Type in the following:
stopsap ALL or stopsap R3 or stopsap DB.
If you only need to stop the SAP instance and not the database, type
type as stopsap R3, if you need to stop only Database, than - stopsap DB. if you want to stop both the sap instance and the database than - stopsap ALL.
