Profile Management in SAP
What is Profile ?
This parameters having Values, this values control our SAP system.
The profile files are automatically created during installation. After installation complete,the
profile are stored at operating system level in the Directory:
\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\profile
This directory can be read by all instances of an SAP system using the share or mount technique.
The configuration of the individual instances and therefore of the Sap system is performed using
system parameters.The Default values for these parameters are defined in the program code of
the Kernel.Instance is managed by using profiles.
Profile Types:
1. Start Profile :
Starting database
Dispatcher+work
Workprocess
Start up profiles are used for when Sap system is going to start, it will follow the start up profile
values and order.Do nor modify these parameter under any circumstances on Os level . It is
instance-specific
START_<instance><Instance number>_<hostname>
In this we can specifies which processes are to be started for each instance there are for example
,the message server and the dispatcher.
Start up profile are one or more available based on instances. Number of instance is equal to
start up profiles
2.Default profile :
It is used to provide global parameters for all the instances. For example:
Buffer parameters
Enqueue host
There is only one default profile for each SAP system and it is read by all instances.It contains
system-wide settings such as the system name, the name of the database server, the name of
the enqueue server or also the Default logon client.
3.Instance profile:
The instance profile is therefore instance-specific. This is used to set the instance specific
parameters.
Start porfile
Default profile
Instance profiles
OS level:
In OS level go to \usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\profile path and find the all profiles in this path. Now is we
want change any profile open with note pad and change value if require and save. Before change
values take backup of profile.
SAP level:
In sap level we have two T-codes for changing values there are RZ10 and RZ11.
Dynamic Parameters: When ever we can change dynamic parameter values we don't need
restart the sap system,when we restart goes back to privious values . It will be change in RZ11
and RZ10 also.
