Parameter File Value Direct Change (SAP Library - Database Manager CLI: SAP DB 7.3)

Parameter File Value Direct Change

Use

With this command you change the parameters of the database instance. Unlike when you use the parameter change function, the value <value> for the file identified as <key_name> is written straight to the parameter file. An entry is only made if the parameter is already contained in the parameter file.

In the following cases the parameter change is refused:

The parameter has the value NOBODY for the CHANGE property

The parameter has the value NO for the property MODIFY and the parameter file was already checked by the kernel (parameter __PARAM_CHANGED___ exists)

You are dealing with a devspace parameter (Devspace property = Yes) and there are changed kernel parameters in the parameter file (Devspace property= No), that have not yet been checked by the kernel
(Exception: You are creating a new database instance)

The parameter is a kernel parameter and devspace parameters have already been changed, but not yet checked by the kernel.

Note

The entered value for the parameter is not checked for consistency. Therefore unqualified changes to parameters are also possible using the command param_directput. These can then not be rejected by param_abortsession because the changes are written directly to the parameter file.

Prerequisites

You have the DBM operator authorization ParamFull.

Syntax

param_directput <key_name> <value>
