Definition

If the ABAP application server is stopped with a soft shutdown, it passes through the following states:

  • CHECK_SERVER: Checks whether the server can be shut down.
  • CHANGE_STATE: Switches the server state from active to shutdown (transaction SM51, server overview).
  • WAIT_FOR_LOAD_BALANCE_UPDATE: Waits until RFC/HTTP clients no longer include the server in load-balanced calls. The wait time is limited by parameter rdisp/shutdown/load_balance_wait_time.
  • J2EE_SHUTDOWN: If active, the AS Java (JEE Engine) is shut down.
  • DISABLE_EXTERNAL_LOGIN: Does not permit external logons (SAPGUI / ITS) if parameter rdisp/shutdown/disable_gui_login = 0
  • DISABLE_SCHEDULES: Deactivates internal scheduling (batch jobs, BG-RFC, QRFC)
  • WAIT_FOR_END_OF_EXCLUSIVE_ACTIONS: Waits for exclusive actions to start. These are started once only during the shutdown. Actions can be triggered in ABAP and in the kernel. The wait time for reading ABAP actions can be set in parameter rdisp/shutdown/abap_trigger_timeout.
  • WAIT_FOR_END_OF_LONGRUNNER: Waits for long-running programs to end (for example, batch or update) (no timeout)
  • WAIT_FOR_END_OF_SESSIONS: Waits for active sessions to end. Automatic logoff from online sessions can be activated in parameter rdisp/shutdown/gui_auto_logout. If soft shutdown is active, online sessions receive a message prompt periodically requesting user to log off. The frequency of the message prompt can be set in parameter rdisp/shutdown/message_frequency.
  • CLOSE_LISTEN_PORTS: Close ports for GUI and RFC/HTTP communication
  • TERMINATE_PERIODIC_TASKS: All periodic tasks in the kernel (for example, AUTOABAP, BUFFER-REFRESH) are no longer started.
  • WAIT_FOR_END_OF_J2EE: If the AS Java is active, the system waits for the AS Java that was triggered in the J2EE_SHUTDOWN state to shut down. The maximum wait time can be set in parameter rdisp/shutdown/j2ee_timeout.
  • J2EE_HARD_SHUTDOWN: If this is active, the AS Java is stopped with a hard shutdown.
  • WAIT_FOR_IDLE_WPS: Waits until all work processes are in the "waiting" state, and no more requests are in the dispatcher queue. The maximum wait time can be set in parameter rdisp/shutdown/idle_wp_timeout.
  • HALT: Stops instance and cleans up resources.
