Instance Profile

Instance profiles provide an application server with additional configuration parameters to complement the settings values from the default profile. Typically, these parameter settings adapt the instance according to the desired resources. They also define the available instance resources (main memory, shared memory, roll memory and so on), and how to allocate memory to the SAP application buffers.

Below is a typical instance profile:

#.*************************************************

#.* Instance profile BIN_DVEBMG53 *

#.* Version = 000005 *

#.* Generated by user = BLOCHING *

#.* Date generated = 04.08.1995, 11:10:35 *

#.*************************************************

INSTANCE_NAME = DVEBMG53

SAPSYSTEM = 53

SAPSYSTEMNAME = BIN

abap/buffersize = 40000

abap/programs = 600

ipc/shm_psize_10 = 15000000

ipc/shm_psize_14 = 0

ipc/shm_psize_40 = 17000000

rdisp/PG_SHM = 1000

rdisp/ROLL_MAXFS = 16384

rdisp/ROLL_SHM = 200

rdisp/btctime = 60

rdisp/wp_no_dia = 5

rdisp/wp_no_enq = 1

rdisp/wp_no_vb = 1

rdisp/wp_no_vb2 = 1

You can choose any name for an instance profile. The SAP naming convention is as follows: _ or __.

e.g. TBQ_DVEBMGS10_TBLUSR17

Default Profile:

If you want to assign the same parameter value for all application servers (such as the name of the database host, or the host on which the message server is running), enter it in the default profile. In general, you can list any parameter you like here.
