Parameters for tp Function
PUT
● lockuser
Default: 1
Value range: Boolean
During a tp put call, various users can log on to the SAP system at three different points. If parameter lockuser is set to 0, nothing happens at these points. Otherwise, an indicator is set in the database at the beginning and the middle of a tp put call. This ensures that only users DDIC and SAP* can log on to the SAP System. Users who are already logged are not affected by this (this would be the only reason for activating parameters startsap and stopsap). This indicator is deleted at the end of the call, allowing all users to log on to the SAP System again. To find out the exact locking and unlocking locations, enter command tp put without any other arguments.
● lock_eu
Default: 1
Value range: Boolean
During a tp put call, the system change setting may be changed at two locations. If parameter lock_euis set to 0, the system change option remains unchanged. Otherwise, the system change option is set to Objects cannot be changed at the beginning of the call, and is reset to its previous value at the end of the call. To find out the exact locking and unlocking locations, enter command tp put without any other arguments.
● startsap
Default: Space (Windows)
Possible values: Text
tp uses the value of this parameter to start an SAP System. It interprets this value as a complete path to a program that is able to start an SAP System. However, customers do not need tp to start (or stop) an SAP System. SAP has therefore defined the default value of the parameter so that the SAP System is not started at the customer.
● stopsap
Default: Space (Windows)
Possible values: Text
tp uses the value of this parameter to stop an SAP System. It interprets the value as a complete path to a program that is able to stop an SAP System. However, customers do not need tp to stop an SAP System. SAP has therefore defined the default value for this parameter so that the SAP System is not stopped at the customer.
If you want to activate parameters startsap and stopsap, set them as follows:
● UNIX
STARTSAP = startsap R3
STOPSAP = stopsap R3
● Microsoft Windows
STARTSAP =
\\$(SAPGLOBALHOST)\sapmnt\$(system)\sys\exe\run\startsap.exe
name=<SID> nr=<SYSTEMNR> SAPDIAHOST=<HOST>
STOPSAP =
\\$(SAPGLOBALHOST)\sapmnt\$(system)\sys\exe\run\stopsap.exe
name=<SID> nr=<SYSTEMNR> SAPDIAHOST=<HOST>
