Profile Checks
Definition
You can execute extensive checks of one or more
profiles once they have been changed. You can check the semantics, syntax and parameter names of the profile.The system displays the results of the profile checks as a log that contains either warnings or error messages.

Multiple Profile Checks
In addition to the single profile check, the system checks all profiles (of a profile type) that are used in an SAP System to ensure that they are consistent with each other. For example, all start profiles are checked to see whether exactly one message server is started. With instance profiles, the system checks that enqueue work process was configured.
