Procedure documentation Starting the Database Instance Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You are switching the database state from the operational state OFFLINE to the state ADMIN (Transferring to the Operational State ADMIN).

Prerequisites

You have the DBM operator authorization DBStart.

On the Microsoft Windows operating system, this database instance must be registered as a service under the name SAP DB: <database_name>. This is done implicitly when you create a database instance with the Database Manager.

Syntax

db_start [<option>]

Options

Options (<options>) that determine the kernel variant that starts the database instance:

-f | -fast

-q | –quick

-s | –slow

If you do not specify an option, the system makes a service entry for the fastest available variant of the database kernel.

Note

You should only use the options -q | –quick and -s | –slow if errors occur and in consultation with SAP DB Support.
