Verifying that the SAP Instance is up

The easiest way to confirm that the SAP instance has started successfully is to log on to the instance. If it has not had a successful start up, look at the logs in the /home/adm directory. Sort them witj “ls – ltr” is see the list sorted in descending order for the ease of viewing.

If nothing obvious is found, go to the /usr/sap//DVEBMGS00/work directory and do the same thing in this directory. The most useful information can be found in the dev_wx, dev_ms, dev_disp, dev_rfcx, and stderrx files.
