To ensure SAP Business One server tools automatically restart after a server reboot, you need to configure the relevant service or script to start automatically upon system startup. This can be achieved by modifying service settings or creating a startup script that executes the necessary commands.
reate a script by adding the following commend and make it auto run after the server reboot.
/usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/sapcontrol -nr
00 -function Start >> /
var/log/startb1.log 2>&1
Here's a breakdown of the process:
1. Linux Systems:
- Determine the specific service responsible for the server tools. For example, it might be named
sapb1servertoolsorb1ad. - Navigate to
/etc/init.d/and check if a corresponding service file exists (e.g.,sapb1servertools). - If a service file doesn't exist, you can create one. This involves creating a file in
/etc/systemd/system/(e.g.,sapb1servertools.service) with the necessary configuration to start the service. The file should include the command to start the server tools (e.g.,/etc/init.d/sapb1servertools start). - Use the following commands (assuming you've created or modified the service file):
sudo systemctl enable sapb1servertools.servicesudo systemctl start sapb1servertools.service
- After the reboot, check if the service is running using
sudo systemctl status sapb1servertools.service. - You can also create a startup script (e.g.,
/etc/rc.local) that executes the command to start the server tools. Ensure the script is executable (chmod +x /etc/rc.local) and that it's executed during startup.
2. Windows Systems:
- Identify the service: Locate the service associated with the SAP Business One server tools in the Services application (search for "services.msc").
- Configure automatic startup: Right-click on the service, select "Properties", and change the "Startup type" to "Automatic" or "Automatic (Delayed Start)".
- Apply changes: Click "Apply" and "OK".
- Restart: Restart the server to verify the service starts automatically.
Important Considerations:
- Ensure any dependencies (like the database) are also configured to start automatically if needed.
- If the tools fail to start, investigate the logs to identify the cause of the failure.
- Consider using "Automatic (Delayed Start)" for the service if you experience issues with other services starting before the SAP Business One server tools.
- Refer to relevant SAP Notes for specific instructions related to your SAP Business One version and environment.
