Windows Start Profile

The start profile determines which actions the SAP service executes. The profile can start all processes which are required by the SAP system in this Windows host system. The start profile used by the service is specified when you install the service.

Start profiles are stored in the central profile directory of your SAP system so that they can be called from any application server.

A start profile is generated automatically during system installation.

A distinction is made between processes started synchronously and asynchronously.

· Processes started synchronously

The next step in the start profile is not processed until the process has been completed. The system does not check how (that is with which Exit Code) the process was completed.

Synchronous processes can be recognized by the addition immediate in the start profile.

Example

Program strdbs.cmd - starts the database

Program sapcpe - copies the necessary executables to the application server.

· Processes started asynchronously

The next step in the start profile is processed as soon as the process has been started.

Example

Program msg_server.exe - starts the message server

Program disp+work.exe - starts the dispatcher

Program gwrd.exe - starts the gateway (provided this is just a gateway instance)

Changing or Replacing the Windows Start Profile

You can change entries in the start profile using the Computing Center Management System (CCMS), for example. Changes to the start profile do not become effective until you have stopped and restarted the SAP service. Note that when the SAP service is stopped, the appropriate SAP system is also stopped but not the database.


In the Microsoft Management Console, you can activate the new profile settings by restarting the SAP start service without stopping the SAP system. For more information see Microsoft Management Console: Windows .

To stop an SAP service:

· Start the Windows window Services (Control Panel ® Services).

· From the list of services, select the service of the SAP instance ( SAP_, e.g. SAPC11_00) you want to stop. The service has already been stopped if it does not have the Status Started.
