Creating the Instance Definition for one Server 

Use

If you only want to create a new instance definition for one application server, it is useful to copy the instance definition for the server.

Procedure

  1. From the R/3 main menu, choose Tools ® CCMS, Configuration ® Operation modes/instances. Then choose Instances/OP modes.

    2. The system displays the CCMS: Maintain Operation Modes and Instances screen.

  2. Choose Instance ® Create new instance.

    3. The system displays the CCMS: Maintain Instance Data screen.

  3. Enter data in the following fields:

    4.

    Host Name

    Enter the name of the host running the instance.

    SAP system number

    Enter the number of the instance.

  4. Choose Current settings.

    5. The instance definition is created on the basis of the active status.

    If you started the server with a profile that was activated from the CCMS profile maintenance tool, the profile name is copied to the description. The work process distribution is determined from the instance profile at system start.

    On UNIX systems only: If you want to start and stop servers from the Control Panel or the System Monitor, then you must enable remote logon to the UNIX servers on which R/3 instances run. See Prerequisites for Starting Remote Instances.

  5. Save the changes.

    6. If you have used profiles from R/3 System profile maintenance, the system now performs a profile check automatically.

    The result of the check is displayed in the Display Check Log of Profile window.

    If you want to perform an intermediate test, you can call the profile check by activating Check profile.

    After the check, the system displays a dialog box. Here, assign the work processes for at least one operation mode.

  6. In the Operation mode field, enter the name of the operation mode or select an operation mode from the list of possible entries. To set the same work process distribution for all operation modes, enter * .

    7. The system proposes the current work process distribution of the instance profile. However you can change this work process distribution.

  7. Save the changes.

    8. To assign the work process distribution to further operation modes, select Yes when the system prompts you. Choose No if you do not want to assign the work process distribution to further operation modes.

    From the list of productive instances, you can now create or maintain further instance definitions: Maintaining Instance Definitions

  8. When you are done, you can perform a Consistency Check.
  9. Save the changes.

All the instance definitions for productive operation modes are then saved in the database.
