Symptom

Terminating an SAP system takes longer than usual. Sometimes only the job SAPSTART is active in the subsystem without being terminated.
Other terms

AS/400, OS400, system i, i5/OS, iSeries
Reason and Prerequisites

When the instance is stopped, SAPSTART sends a stop command to all jobs you started and it then checks if they are still active. SAPSTART does not notice if a job is terminated before this check, and it waits five minutes for a job (which has been completed for a long time) to end. This error was eliminated with these corrections.
Solution

Apply the following patches with at least the specified patch levels (the specification nn will soon be defined):
SAP Release 640: Patch SAPSTART with patch level 31
SAP Release 700: Patch SAPSTART with patch level 24
SAP Release 701: Patch SAPSTART with patch level 3
SAP Release 710: Patch SAPSTART with patch level 5
SAP Release 711: Patch SAPSTART with patch level 5
