Configuring General System
Parameters
Before you start using Guided Procedures (GP), you must configure its system parameters so that it runs properly.
Below you can find a list of all configuration parameters that you require for using GP. This list does not include parameters for special applications such as the Bounced Mails Framework and SAP Composite Forms.
You have access to the Config Tool of the Application Server Java (AS Java).
See:

Tool
...
1. Open the Config Tool.
2. Navigate to cluster-data → template – <name of template> → instance – <name of instance> → services → caf/eu/gp/model.

The template represents the usage type installed on your server (for example, EP). It consists of one or more instances that can be configured in a different way.
3. Modify the required system parameters:
a. On the Service properties screen, select a parameter from the table.
b. In the Custom value field, enter a value for the parameter.
c. Choose Set.
The new value appears in the Value column.

In the Template value field, you can see the default value (if any) for the parameter you have selected. You can restore the default template value for any parameter by choosing Restore to Template.
You can apply the procedure above for the following general system parameters:
Parameter |
Parameter description |
system.workflow.engine.local.threads |
Determines the number of worker threads the GP Workflow Engine uses. · Default value: 2 · Possible values: 1 through 10 |
system.type |
Determines the system type installation. By default, there is no value for this property. |
pfw.dt.er.template.show |
Determines whether the event resolution template is displayed in the design time. · Default value: false · Possible values: 1. true (the template is displayed) 2. false (the template is not displayed) |
devobj.after_import_processing |
Determines whether imported objects need to be post-processed in the Administration workset or are directly available for the GP design time. Post-processing includes: · Checking the existing object authorizations · Additional semantic check for specific object types
We recommend that you switch off post-processing for internal transports, for example, from a test system to a production system. For more information about this Administration workset functionality, refer to:
· Default value: true · Possible values: ¡ true (post-processing) ¡ false (no post-processing) |
devobj.content_release |
The value set is assigned to each new object created as the release information. · Default value: none · Possible values: freely selectable |
devobj.producer |
This parameter determines the versioning protection for SAP / SAP partner objects. To protect their own developments, customers should not modify the default value set for this parameter. If the default value is retained, the system does not create new versions for SAP-specific objects. To modify SAP-specific objects, customers need to create copies of them first. Working with copies effectively ensures for the customer that any modifications made to SAP-specific objects are not lost when the system is updated (in this case, the objects would be overwritten by SAP / SAP partners). · Default value: SAP · Possible values: freely selectable. However, modifications should only be made by SAP or SAP partners. |
http.server.base.url |
Base URL of the AS Java instance on which GP runs.
http://<server ID>:<port>, for example, http://localhost:50000 |
smtp.server |
Sets the mail server for SMTP-based exchange of e-mails and composite forms. · Default value: none · Possible values: freely selectable depending on the mail servers available. The value can be an IP address or a domain, for example mail.sap.corp. |
smtp.service_user_mail |
Sets the sender address for outgoing e-mails. This parameter directly refers to the parameter smtp.server. · Default value: none · Possible values: freely selectable |
system.fallbacklang |
Sets the alternative language of the system. · Default value: en (English) · Possible values: the common language codes for all languages in which the portal was delivered |
transport.translation.contact.name |
Sets the developer to be contacted by translators. This parameter is only relevant outside SAP if a customer-specific NWDI transport environment exists. · Default value: none · Possible values. name or user ID of contact person |
