How To Start an Application Server

Prior to starting the SAP Application Server, the plug-in does not check any dependencies. After the startup, the plug-in verifies that the main processes are running. The main processes for the SAP Application Server are:

• main dispatcher

• two dw processes which are children of the main dispatcher process

If the SAP Application Server is installed with the central script to start and stop it, then the plug in starts the application server instance by using the central SAP script like the following:

startsap r3 Dinstance-num_logical-host

If the SAP Application Server is installed without the central script, then the plug–in starts it by using the following script in the home directory of user sidadm:

startsap_Dinstance-num_logical-host
