Hello

You call cleanipc when the SAP instance is stopped and NOT when the system is up and running, which will crash the system.

The syntax to run cleanipc is:

First switch to the sidadm user

su- sidadm

To list the shared memory segments:

cleanipc 00 show

To remove the shared memory segments:

cleanipc 00 remove

NB : The number 00 should be replaced with the appropriated system number. If you have SCS then you need to run against that as well.

Cheers
