Starting and Stopping Replication Agent for SAP HANA Container as a Service Using Microsoft Windows Services Tool

Use the Microsoft Windows Services tool to start and stop Replication Agent for SAP HANA container as a Windows service.

1. Navigate to the Windows Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
2. In the Services dialog, to start a container, right-click the HANA Replication Agent Service for <your container name> and select the Start menu item.
   Note: If you have installed multiple servers as services, you see an entry for each container service.

   For example, if you have installed RAXContainer and MyOtherContainer as services, you see these entries in the Services window:

   • HANA Replication Agent Service for RAXContainer

   • HANA Replication Agent Service for MyOtherContainer

   When the container service starts, it creates a log file in the instances\<your container name>\logs directory with a default WindowsServiceLog file name. You can change the path to the Windows service log by changing the serviceLog value in the container .ini file.

3. To stop a container, right-click the HANA Replication Agent Service for <your container name> and select the Stop menu item.
   Note: You cannot start and stop the container directly from the Services console unless you remove that container service from the Replication Agent for SAP HANA Control Center GUI.
