Syntax and Constraints

FULL_COMPATIBLE (default): The dispatcher instance of the SAP CC Core Server system accepts to register a client application or another instance of the SAP CC system with the old protocol format as well as the new one.
CLIENT_COMPATIBLE: The dispatcher instance accepts to register external client applications using the old and the new protocol format but only accepts to register SAP CC system instances using the new protocol format.
STRICT: The dispatcher instance will only accept to register connections and communications using the new protocol format.

Default Value (Factory Settings)

The predefined default value is:

Instance Type	Value
Dispatcher	`FULL_COMPATIBLE`

You can use a default value to reset the runtime value or the restart value (persistent) in the Admin+ user interface.

Note

A default value is part of the factory settings of the SAP CC Core Server systems. It differs from the original value set during the installation or after the Customizing activities.

In Admin+, you can reset a parameter value to this default value, but it is not recommended:

This value may differ from the original value set during the installation of your SAP CC system.
Note that it may also differ from the value defined by the implementation project team and set during the Implementation Phase of the integration project.

Verify the values in your running SAP CC systems before to use the reset command.
