Assigning an Instance Definition Manually 

Use

You can assign an instance definition to an operation mode manually. This is useful if you cannot copy the actual status because the application server is not yet running.

Procedure

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

    2. The system displays the CCMS: Maintain Instance Data dialog box.

  2. Enter data in the following fields:
    3.

    Host Name

    Enter the name of the host running the instance.

    SAP system number

    Enter the instance number.

    Start profile:

    Profile name

    The name of the start profile from Profiles to start the instance with.

    Choose the input help to display a list of available start profiles. You can choose a profile from the list.

    Instance profile:

    Profile name

    The name of the instance profile from Profiles to run the instance with.

    Choose the input help to display a list of available instance profiles. You can choose a profile from the list.

    Either specify the start profile and the instance profile together from profile maintenance or do not use a profile from profile maintenance.

  3. Choose Enter.

    4. All data is then generated using the profile values and the R/3 default naming conventions.

    The work process distribution at system start is also set from the instance profile data.

    UNIX systems only: So that you can start and stop servers from the Control Panel or the System Monitor, you must enable a remote logon on the target UNIX server. See Prerequisites for Starting Remote Instances.

  4. To save the changes, choose Instance ® Save.

    5. When using profiles, your configuration is checked automatically when you save. You are notified of any inconsistencies.

  5. In the dialog box, assign the work processes for at least one operation mode.

    6. In the field Operation mode, 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 * .

    The system proposes the current work process distribution in the instance profile. However you can change the work process distribution (see Setting the Work Process Distribution).

  6. Save the changes.

    7. 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 instances.

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

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