The SAP Start Service (sapstartsrv) has been configured as boot service according to SAP Note 823941 - SAP start service on Unix platforms. But sapservice is not started automatically after OS reboot.
Environment
SAP on SUSE Linux
Cause
The system does not have the "sap_server" pattern installed, nor does it have the "insserv-compat" package installed individually.
The pattern is recommended for all SAP systems (and it contains the insserv-compat package).
These are needed to enable the sapinit script.
Resolution
Install either the pattern, or at least the package individually.
After this, please check the status of sapinit with:
chkconfig --list sapinit
If it is reported as off as below,
sapinit 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
enable it with:
chkconfig sapinit on
To switch on for 3 and 5 on server, chkconfig sapinit on --level 53
