How to make the most of sapcontrol syntaxes?
Sapcontrol is an os command line tool which gives status and control on various sap services. This is an important tool to manage and monitor the sap system which can be the application server as well as the sap hana environment services. To make the best use of sap control command line syntaxes is to know what functions are available and to keep those that you really need. For example, if you are a sap hana administrator, you will be mainly looking at starting and stopping the sap hana system when it is required but also you will be looking at checking all services status while shutting down or starting up the system.
