Process Flow

Parameter values in instance profiles can contain the following variables:

●      $(parameter name) is replaced by the value of the parameter name specified in brackets.

Example

Param1 = ‘/usr/sap/C11/D53/dbg’

Param2 = $(Param1)/stats

Therefore Param2 = /usr/sap/C11/D53/dbg/stats

●      $$ is replaced by the SAP system number.

Example

Param3 = logfile$$.

SAPSYSTEM = 29

Therefore Param3 = logfile29

●      You can also define local replacement variables. These values are not used by the SAP programs, they are only relevant within a profile. They contain values used for setting up or filling parameter values. The names of these local replacement variables begin with an underscore (‘_’) .

Example

_SAP_PROFILE_DEFAULT = /usr/sap/C11/SYS/profile/DEFAULT.PFL

Param4 = _SAP_PROFILE_DEFAULT.

This results in Param4 = /usr/sap/C11/SYS/profile/DEFAULT.PFL
