SAP Profiles

SAP profiles are operating system files that contain instance setup information. SAP Systems can consist of one or more instances. Individual setup parameters can be customized to the requirements of each instance. These individual parameters allow you to configure

  • The runtime environment of the instance (resources such as main memory size, shared memory, roll size)
  • Which services the instance has available (work processes)
  • Where other services can be found (database host).

SAP profiles are stored in a special file directory. This directory can be made accessible from all hosts depending on current needs:

UNIX systems : /usr/sap//SYS/profile
