Disable Autostart in ERS Profile

Symptom:

A status check of an ERS Instance causes a sapstart for the selected instance.

ERS instance is always running on both systems.

Cause:

When an ERS Instance has Autostart=1 set in the profile, certain sapcontrol calls will cause the instance to be started as a part of the running command.

Action:

Stop the running ERS Instances in the cluster and modify the profile for the ERS Instances and set Autostart=0.

This profile change will require a restart of sapstartsrv in order to take effect. This can be accomplished by running the following command (replacing <sid> by the lower-case SAP SID and <SID> by the upper-case SAP SID):

su - <sid>adm -c "sapcontrol -nr <ERS Inst#> -function RestartService <SID>"
sudo -u <sid>adm sh -lc 'sapcontrol -nr <ERS Inst#> -function RestartService <SID>'

*Changing autostart from one value to another requires a reboot in order for the parameter change to take effect.
