We recommend that you create a new SAP-DEFAULT properties variant in the following cases:
· If you install a new component of the SAP system
· After a release upgrade
· 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.
