Importing Profile Files of All Application Server Instances

During an initial installation of an SAP system, an upgrade to a new SAP release, or the addition of a new application server instance, the system automatically generates or updates the profile files at operating system level. However, the installation program cannot store profiles directly in the database. Since you are working with profile data from the SAP database in the profile maintenance, you need to ensure that this data matches the corresponding active profile files in the file systems of the application server instances.

You do this by importing the profile files.
