SAP Content Server Notes

SAP Content Server consists of a DB and Apache front end on Unix or an IIS service on Windows. Both components are started independently.

Starting SAP MaxDB
login as the Database Instance Owner (eg sqd<SID>)
dbmcli -u superdba,<password> –d <sid> db_online
(/sapdb/<SID>/db/pgm/dbmstart –d <db sid> might also work)
./sapdb/programs/bin/x_server start

Starting Apache2 and Content Server
Log in as <SID>cs
cd /usr/sap/<SID>/apache2/bin
apachectl start
It may take quite a while to start

Stopping Apace2 and Content Server
Log in as <SID>cs
cd /usr/sap/<SID>/apache2/bin
apachectl stop

Stopping SAP MaxDB
login as the Database Instance Owner (eg sqd<SID>)
/sapdb/<SID>/db/pgm/dbmstop –d <SID>
or
/sapdb/programs/bin/dbmcli –d <SID> –u DBM, <password> db_offline

MaxDB Status
/sapdb/programs/bin/dbmcli –d <SID> –u DBM, <password> db_state

Test Apache Web Page
http://<server>:1090/ returns the page below:
