Use
You can frequently make changes to system
profiles for non-productive systems. You will rarely need to make changes to system profiles for productive SAP Systems. In either case, you should use the CCMS profile maintenance tool to maintain profiles.The profile maintenance tool has the following advantages:

You should no longer edit profiles at operating system level using an editor. It only makes sense to do this if the SAP System cannot be started in any other way.
Integration
You can maintain profiles using either basic or extended maintenance.
The basic maintenance option displays general data on the profile and the parameters for the buffer sizes, number of work processes and the swap requirement.
Extended profile maintenance displays all individual parameter values for the profile.

Detailed documentation is available for each parameter contained in the profile. To display this, position the cursor on the parameter and choose F1.
Prerequisites
To use the profile maintenance tool, assign authorization values to authorization object
S_RZL_ADM (Computing Center Management System Administration), according to the editing mode that you require:
