Find application server hostnames on the operating system
Looking for application server hostnames on the operating system? Learn how to locate them with this expert advice from Bert Vanstechelman.
I need all application servers hostnames output -- like sm51 -- available at the command line and not within SAP. I tried to use "gwmon," but it shows all gateway connections and not just application servers. What do you suggest?
The application server
hostnames use the following naming convention:
HOSTNAME_SAPSYSTEMNAME_SAPSYSTEM
If you have access to the operating system, you should be able to find the application server hostnames from the SAP instance profiles.
- The variables SAPSYSTEMNAME and SAPSYSTEM are defined in the instance profile.
- The HOSTNAME is defined by SAPLOCALHOST or SAPGLOBALHOST which is in the instance or in the start profile. If neither is defined, it is the hostname of the system.
