Create a New SAP DEFAULT Variant (SAP Library

Create a New SAP DEFAULT Variant

Use

We recommend that you create a new SAP DEFAULT properties variant in the following cases:

If you install a new component of the SAP R/3 System

After a release change

If you have written a new data supplier whose values have changed and you want to load the new values into the database

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

Procedure

Choose CCMS ® Configuration ® Alert Monitor, or call transaction RZ21.

The system displays the Monitoring: Properties and Methods screen. Choose Properties ® Variants ® Variants Overview.

® Variants ® SAP-DEFAULT Variant ® Create New Version.

The system informs you in a dialog box about the function of the SAP-DEFAULT variant. Choose Continue, and confirm the question in the next dialog box about whether you want to create a new SAP-DEFAULT variant.

Result

After the restart of the application server, the new SAP-DEFAULT values are loaded into the database. The old values are stored in the properties variant SAP-DEFAULT_OLD_X.
