The "automatic" flag for the service is responsible for the OFFLINE to COLD transition. The "RESTART_SHUTDOWN AUTO" is responsible for COLD to WARM transition _only_ after an automatic start of the service. For an automatic restart of the database on reboot you have to set both values. Please notice that the "RESTART_SHUTDOWN AUTO" has no effect if you start the service manual via the service manager or the DBM. If you create a database with dbmcli on the command line you may use the option -a to create a service entry with automatic startup: dbmcli db_create -a <dbname> <dbmusr>,<pwd> (see also http://www.sapdb.org/htmhelp/6b/9cc7ac4b6311d4aa1100a0c9430730/content.htm ) This option is not available in the DBMGui.
