Stopping the SAP Instance

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 as adm.
2. Type in the following:

stopsap¬

If you only need to stop the SAP instance and not the database too, type
instead:

stopsap R3¬

And do not do the rest of the start up procedures listed below, you can stop now.
3. Log on to the same server as ora.
4. Type in the following:

lsnrctl stop¬

5. Log on to the same server as root.
6. Type in the following:

cd /usr/sap//SYS/exe/run¬
./saposcol -k¬

7. Log off the server.
