The SAPControl utility is used to manage and monitor SAP systems. It provides various commands to perform actions such as starting and stopping SAP instances, checking system status, retrieving system information, and more. The syntax of SAPControl commands varies depending on the specific action you want to perform. Here is the general syntax for using SAPControl:

sapcontrol -nr <instance_number> -function <function_name> [<additional_options>]
  • <instance_number>: The number of the SAP instance you want to manage or monitor.
  • <function_name>: The name of the function you want to perform. This can be any supported SAPControl function such as GetProcessList, StopService, GetSystemInstanceList, etc.
  • <additional_options>: Optional additional parameters or options specific to the chosen function.

To start and stop an SAP HANA database using the sapcontrol tool, you can execute the following commands:

  1. Start HANA database:
    • sapcontrol -nr <instance_number> -function StartSystem HDB
    • Replace <instance_number> with the number of the HANA instance you want to start. For example, if you want to start instance 00, the command would be:
    • sapcontrol -nr 00 -function StartSystem HDB
  2. Stop HANA database:
    • sapcontrol -nr <instance_number> -function StopSystem HDB
    • Replace <instance_number> with the number of the HANA instance you want to stop. For example, to stop instance 00:
    • sapcontrol -nr 00 -function StopSystem HDB

Note: The sapcontrol command requires administrative privileges, so you might need to execute it as a superuser or with appropriate administrative permissions. Also, ensure that the sapcontrol tool is in your system’s PATH or provide the full path to the sapcontrol executable in the command.
