Changing Profile Parameters Dynamically (Transaction RZ11)Locate this document in the navigation structure

Context

The value of dynamic parameters can be changed in productive operation. When a profile parameter is changed dynamically, the current value of the parameter on the instance or across the system is replaced with the new value. This dynamically changed value is valid for as long as the server is running. When the application server is restarted, the values from the profiles (kernel, default, or instance profile) are re-read and reset. This means that a dynamically changed parameter value is only valid for the runtime of the application server. If you want changes to remain valid after the application server has been restarted, you have to make the changes in the appropriate profile.

In the profile parameter maintenance (transaction RZ11) you can:

  • Change profile parameters dynamically, provided they are able to be changed dynamically

  • Metadata (icon: Display

  • The relevant documentation of a profile parameter (icon: Display Documentation

You can maintain profile parameters in transaction code RZ11.

The following describes how to change the value of a profile parameter dynamically:

Procedure

  1. Call transaction RZ11.
  2. Enter a parameter name.
  3. Choose Display.
  4. If necessary, check the current parameter values (kernel, default, instance profile).

    Choose Change Value from the icon bar.

  5. Enter a new value in window Change Parameter Value.
  6. Optional: Select checkbox Change on All Servers if you want the change to apply to all instances in the system.
  7. Choose Save Changes.
  8. Confirm the message in the Information window.

    If you chose Change on All Servers, the message is displayed for each affected instance.
