Access interface to make a SAP Instance Passive (SM51) using command line

[former_member649351]

The SAPControl interface provides soft shutdown feature which is different from making it passive. How do I make an app server instance passive by using some command line interface to make it part of my automation code.

Hi Karan,

You may use following sapcontrol web function to stop an application server:

sapcontrol -nr <application server instance no.> -function StopSystem

What do you mean by not (soft) shutdown but passive. If it's in context of High Availability configuration, application server need not be up and running to take over as there's no persistent data as such pertaining to application server. So whenever your running application server goes down, this one can be started by means like OS cluster management software.

Please elaborate on your scenario and requirement if above dpesn't answer your query.
