This section explains the profile parameters relevant to the operation of the ICM and the ICM server cache.

You can display most of these parameters in the Web administration interface or in the ICM monitor (AS ABAP: transaction SMICM). You can also change some of these parameters dynamically.

Example Example

You can find an example of the setting of the ICM parameter in the instance profile in Sample Profile for the ICM.

End of the example.

Integration

Most of the parameters are also valid for the SAP Web Dispatcher. Exceptions are parameters that control the SMTP communication, and parameters that control the communication with the backend (work process). The parameters valid for the ICM and Web Dispatcher can be found in the navigation structure in section Shared Profile Parameters of ICM and Web Dispatcher.

Features

The parameters can be divided into the following groups:

  • Profile parameters valid for the ICM and SAP Web Dispatcher. These include profile parameters for configuring the ICM Server Cache, and all HTTP subhandler parameters (icm/HTTP/*).

    For more information, see:

    Shared Profile Parameters of ICM and Web Dispatcher

    ICM Server Cache

  • Profile parameters that apply exclusively to the ICM. There are described below.

ICM Parameters

These parameters control how the ICM is started and the connection to CCMS (Central Computing Monitoring System) in AS ABAP.

Work Process Resources for ICM Requests

If an ICM is being processed in a work process in AS ABAP, you will see an entry of type PLUGIN in the user overview (transaction SM04). The following profile parameters are available for configuring resources:

  • icm/<PROT>/context_quota

  • rdisp/http_check

  • rdisp/http_min_wait_dia_wp

  • icm/wp_mpi_available

  • icm/wp_roll_timeout

  • icm/cancel_strategy

The settings enable you to determine how many plug-in requests (HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, etc.) can be processed at the same time in the application server.

System resources are managed in the same way when RFC requests are processed.

SSL Configuration (HTTPS)

The SSL parameters are described in section SSL Parameters for ICM and Web Dispatcher.

You can find information about ICM configuration for HTTP in the Security Guide.

Activities

Most of the profile parameters are preconfigured to allow the smooth operation of the ICM and the ICM server cache. Normally, you only have to set a few of the central parameters.

Example

In the section Example Profiles for the ICM you can see the possible parameter settings.
