MDM 321 – SAP Netweaver Master Data Management

Symptom

Other terms

system Backup,
Reason and Prerequisites

The Stop script is stopping the DBMS as the final command, but it does so only after waiting for a short time.
Solution

The script should be changed such that the Oracle server will be brought down *only* after MDM is already down.
Using longer sleep commands will decrease the occasions that this issue will occur but the best way would
be to change the script to verify that MDM is already stopped and only
then take the DBMS down.
MDM does not require shutting the DBMS down at any stage of
its life cycle. So, if there is no actual reason to take down the DBMS
then it would be better to keep it running all the time.
