Configuring Template and Instance PropertiesLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

This procedure enables you to configure the AS Java on a template and an instance level. You can edit the server processes (nodes), the JVM settings, the cluster elements' properties and so on.

If you change properties on an instance, the changes apply only to this instance.

Note

You cannot make log configuration. To do that, use the GUI Config Tool.

More information: Log Configuration with GUI Config Tool

Prerequisites

Start the command console Config Tool by double-clicking the consoleconfig script file in <SAP_install_dir>/<system_name>/<instance_name>/j2ee/configtool directory.

Procedure

From the console menu, select <Template_name> or <Instance_number> , depending on the level you want to configure.

Recommendation

We recommend that you do not edit template properties containing value links. For example:

Template property: initialHeapSize

Value link: 128 max ($link{.#maxNewSize.value}+64
