Database instance <database_name>

This service is available for each database instance in four versions: one service for each of the three kernel variants and one service for test purposes (omststknl.exe). Only one of these services can run (system default: fast kernel variant).

If this service is stopped, then either the database was transferred to operational state OFFLINE or the database instance crashed. Do not start this service manually, use the database tool Database Manager instead (start the database instance).

In Microsoft Windows, when you create a new database instance, you can specify that this service is started automatically when the computer is started.

SAPDB: .<generated_name>

Service database instance

The service database instance is used by the database system exclusively for internal administration tasks, for example to check backups.

The service database instance is created when the database software is installed and is started by the database system when necessary. The name <generated_name> of the service database instance is generated by the database system.
