Do you need to do maintenance on a system and want to make sure nobody logs on to it while you’re working on it?
You can lock a system at the OS level by running: tp locksys pf=tpprofile
Example: To lock your DEV system enter this command: tp locksys DEV pf=saptranshostsapmnttransbintp_domain_dev.pfl
Users will get this message if they attempt to log on: “Upgrade still running. Logon not possible”.
Notice that the message is not exactly accurate. TP locksys is mainly used during release upgrades so the message is kind of generic. But, it works!

This is a very useful tip that can help you check if an SAP R/3 server is up and running. This way, you don’t have to log on to the system just to find out.
Additionally, you can create another script that uses the FOR command to check ALL your servers so you don’t have to check one by one. Have the script do the job for you.
The key to this script is the command SAPINFO.exe, which comes on the SAPFrontEnd CD (SAPGUI). It’s part of the SDK. If you don’t have the file, e-mail me and I’ll send it to you.

You can logon to SAPNet -R/3 FrontEnd without using transaction OSS1.
This way you don’t have to open an SAP session just to log on to SAPNet.
Here is how to do it:
1. Create the file “saproute.ini” under the %winnt% directory and add the following two entries:
[Router]
sapservX=/H/your-SAProuter-internal-IP-address/H/SAPServX-IP-address/H/
Example:
sapserv4=/H/200.10.10.24/H/204.79.199.2/H/
200.10.10.24 is my SAP router’s IP address.
204.79.199.2 is SAPServ4’s IP address.
2. Create the file “sapmsg.ini” under the %winnt% directory and add the following two entries:
[Message Server]
O01=oss001.wdf.sap-ag.de

USAP R/3 stores its version, instance name and OS platform in tables!
This is excellent as you can then query the database to get the R/3 version, Instance Name and OS platform as follows:
select * from SVERS
select * from TSLE4
You don’t even have to log on to the application to get this info. The above query gives it to you in less than 1 second.
