Creating a New SAP-DEFAULT Variant

Use

We recommend that you create a new SAP-DEFAULT properties variant in the following cases:

• If you install a new component of the SAP system
• After a release upgrade
• If you have written a new data supplier whose values have changed and you want to load the new values into the database

If you create a new SAP-DEFAULT variant, the old default values are automatically saved in the properties variant SAP-DEFAULT_OLD_X. When you restart the application server, the newest default values in the database are loaded and saved as the new SAP-DEFAULT variant. User-defined properties variants are not affected by these changes; that is, you can compare the values in your own properties variants with the SAP default values.

Procedure

Choose CCMS →Configuration →Alert Monitor, or call transaction RZ21.

The Monitoring: Properties and Methods screen appears. Choose Properties → Variants → Variants Overview

→ Variants → SAP-DEFAULT Variant → Create New Version.

The system informs you in a dialog box about the function of the SAP-DEFAULT variant. Choose Continue, and confirm the question in the next dialog box about whether you want to create a new SAP-DEFAULT variant.

Result

After you restart the application server, the new SAP-DEFAULT values are loaded into the database. The old values are saved in the properties variant SAP-DEFAULT_OLD_X.
