How to Stop the Oracle Database

If the SAP Oracle component is offline, the plan will successfully complete without any further action. If the SAP Oracle component is not offline, the plan stops the SAP component. If a normal stop fails and you have selected the Force Stop option, the plan will perform a hard stop by killing the main process. The plan then verifies that the SAP Oracle component is offline. If it is, the plan successfully completes. If the SAP component is not offline, the plan fails. The processes used to determine the status are:

• At least one oracleSID process

• ora_pmon_SID process

Steps

1. In the Common Tasks section of the N1 SPS browser interface, click SAP.

2. In the Oracle Database section of the SAP Tasks page, click Stop.

3. Click Run.

4. Select a target host or target host set.

5. Provide the plan variables.

   Install path of the Oracle component to stop

   This is a required field. If you do not know the install path, return to the SAP Tasks page and click the View All link.

   Shutdown mode

   Some valid shutdown modes are: normal, immediate, and abort. Default value: immediate.

6. Click the Run Plan (Includes Preflight) button.

   The Deployment Results page is displayed. If the plan fails, error messages are displayed.
