Activating, Saving and Checking Profiles 

Use

Once you have finished maintaining a profile, you can check it for errors or inconsistencies, save it in the database, and then activate it.

The CCMS profile maintenance tool stores the profiles as operating system files and stores a copy of each profile in the database. The database copy is used to create the profiles at database level. This process is known as activating a profile.

The profile maintenance tool ensures that changes to profiles are activated when the corresponding SAP instance is restarted. You cannot make changes to an SAP instance during active operation.

Procedures

Activate profiles

...

       1.      On the initial screen in transaction RZ10, enter the name of the profile that you want to activate. Use input help possible to display the available profiles.

       3.      Stop the SAP instance(s) in which you want the profile changes to take effect, and restart them. You can use the CCMS control panel to do this.
