Starting and Stopping the SQL Server

Prerequisites

When you start the SQL Server you actually start the Windows service SQL Server and the corresponding process sqlservr.exe .

In addition to starting the s erver, you also need to start the SQL S erver Agent to be able to s chedule and execute jobs within the S QL Server ManagementStudio. Other services offered by the SQL Server are not required in the SAP env ironment and should therefore not be started.

Overview of SQL Server Services

Service Process Comment

SQL Server sqlservr.exe Always required

SQL ServerAgent sqlagent.exe Always required

Distributed Transaction Coordinator msdtc.exe Do not run in the SAP environment

FDHOST Launcher fdhost.exe Do not run in the SAP environment

You can view a list of all installed services and their current status in the Windows Services application.

You can st art the SQL Server using the S QL Server Service Manager or the SQL Server Management Studio.

Procedure 1. S tart the Server Configuration Manager . 2. Select SQL Server Services .

3. Select the service SQL Server ( MSSQLServer) . 4. Choose either start or stop as required.

The server is started up or shutdown immediately.During startup, an automatic recovery takes place.During shutdown a check point is performed in every database.

Never use Pause for a server. This option prevents any further connections being established to the server and may cause SAP errors. 5. Repeat the procedure for the service SQL Server Agent ( MSSQLServer) .

The SQL Server Agent must be started to allow the scheduling of tasks in the SQL Server Management Studio.

Optionally, SQL Server and SQL Server Agent can be started automatically whenever Windows starts. If you wish to implement this option,use the Windows Services application to specify that the servic es should be started together with Windows. For more information, see theWindows documentation.
