You can edit the service caf/eu/gp/model (GP configuration parameters) using the Visual Administrator. There choose Global Configuration Server caf/eu/gp/model.

General Configuration Parameters

Parameter

Parameter description

system.workflowengine

This parameter has a default value local.

Note

In case you are using Business Process Management (BPM) workflow engine and want to switch to the recommended GP Workflow Engine, set the value of the parameter to local.

system.workflowengine.bwf.endpoint_name

Obsolete property.

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.

devobj.after_import_processing

Determines whether imported objects need to be postprocessed in the Administration workset or are directly available for the GP design time.

Postprocessing includes:

·        Checking the existing object authorizations

·        Additional semantic check for specific object types

Recommendation

We recommend that you switch off postprocessing for internal transports, for example, from a test system to a production system.

devobj.content_release

The value set is assigned to each new object created as the release information.

·        Default value: none

devobj.producer

Caution

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: Customer

·        Possible values: freely selectable. However, modifications should only be made by SAP or SAP partners. For more information about the recommended values, see:

       SAP Note 994510 (for SAP customers and partners)

SAP Note 994643 (for producers of SAP content)
