Use

Use this DBM command to change the parameters of the database.

Unlike the DBM command for changing the values of database parameters (see: param_put), this command enters the values for the specified parameters directly into the database parameter file. However, an entry is only made if the parameter is contained in the default parameter file.

Be very careful when using this DBM command as it accesses the database parameter file directly. The system does check that the changes made are in accordance with the rules, and it overwrites invalid values with the values from the default parameter file when the database is restarted next time.

However, this does not happen for the parameters RunDirectoryPath and KernelVersion, or for any volume parameters.

Caution

Use this DBM command only if requested by SAP Support. Be very careful when using this DBM command as it accesses the database parameter file directly.

If you delete or change parameters by mistake, this can lead to severe inconsistencies during database operation.
