Naming convention of files under $(DIR_GLOBAL)/sapcontrol

[Former Member]

Could any one shed some knowledge about the naming convention of files under $(DIR_GLOBAL)/sapcontrol/

Every SAP App server has files under this path that are created by sapstartsrv service for every minute.

3_51513_51514_167_1_15_<instance> --> This is one of the file created by sapstartsrv service for every minute. First letter "3" defines priority of the sequence in starting instances of an SAP system. "51513" & "51514" are the ports on which this instance is available.

What bout the other parts of this naming covention?  Could some one explain about the other parts of this naming convention.

Hello Manoj,

the note explains the purpose of these files:

1788704 - sapstartsrv registration in $(DIR_GLOBAL)

From these files one get actual information about active instances of the system. The information should be the same like you get by executing "GetSystemInstanceList":

sapcontrol -nr 00 -function GetSystemInstanceList

In the output of this command you see:

hostname, instanceNr, httpPort, httpsPort, startPriority, features, dispstatus

so based on this I would say the names of the files 3_51513_51514_167_1_15_<instance> are built as follow:

startPriority_httpPort_httpsPort_features_dispstatus_instanceNr_hostname

I'm not 100% sure, if this is really the case, but try to execute the sapcontrol command as above and compare the output with the file names.
