Hello SCN,
In this post, I will go through the necessary steps to create/ setup and schedule a batch script to START/ STOP SIA service on Windows 2008 Server.
First thing first:
STEP 1:
1. Log in to Windows 2008 Server using Administrator account/ user
2. Go to (START >> Administrative Tools >> Services)
3. Look for the service called as ‘Server Intelligence Agent’
4. Go to its properties screen and COPY its service name, for e.g. (BOEXI40SIAXXXX)
STEP 2:
In this step, you need to create 2 batch scripts file – follow below mentioned steps to create using Notepad
File 1 >>
1. Open Notepad and type following
@echo off
NET STOP BOEXI40SIAXXXX
2. Save as File with .bat extension and named it as ‘SIA4_STOP’
3. Replace the SIA Service Name with the name you’ve copied from STEP 1
File 2 >>
1. Open Notepad and type following
@echo off
NET START BOEXI40SIAXXXX
2. Save as file with .bat extension and named it as ‘SIA4_START’
3. Replace the SIA Service Name with the name you’ve copied from STEP 1
STEP 3:
In this step, copy over both the .bat files onto following path:
Path: $Install Dir\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\scripts
STEP 4:
1. Go to, (START >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Task Scheduler)
2. Click on Create Task
3. On the General tab, Set the NAME/ DESCRIPTION for the task:
4. On Triggers Tab, click on New button and set the followings:
5. On Actions Tab, click on New button and set the followings:
6. Set the following settings on Conditions & Settings tab
7. Click on Ok button, program will prompt for Username/ Password window
8. Task scheduler will show the created task as follows:
9. Repeat the # 2 to 7 for SIA_START script
10. One completed, task scheduler window should look like as follows:
In above example:
a. SIA_STOP script will be executed on every Sunday @ 11:59 PM
b. SIA_START will be executed on every Monday @ 12:10 AM i.e. midnight
c. So in this scenario SIA has buffer of 11 minutes in which backup tool should finish its process
d. Based on your requirements you can set up the scripts schedule accordingly and utilize the feature of windows automation.
