Creating a New SAP-DEFAULT Variant 

Use

SAP recommends that you create a new SAP-DEFAULT monitoring properties variant when you install a new component of the R/3 System, after a Release upgrade, or if you have written a new data supplier whose values have changed and you want to upload the new values into the database.

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

Each time you create a new SAP-DEFAULT variant, the R/3 System records the old SAP default values in a subsequent SAP-DEFAULT_OLD_X properties variant. These variants display the values suggested by SAP. You can delete these properties variants if necessary.

Result
