What to do After Installing an SAP Instance

Use

Once you have set up a new instance with the SAP installation program R3INST , you can decide whether you want to keep the associated instance profiles or delete them. You can either:

• Keep the profiles to represent one or more instances.

To use the profiles generated or modified by R3INST (start, default and instance profile), they should be imported directly into the SAP profile maintenance database.

• Remove the profiles.

There are already other profiles in the system that support or are shared by more than one instance. To use the existing start and instance profiles instead of the profile files generated by R3INST , identify and delete the files generated by R3INST in the global profile directory.

Once the profiles have been removed, the startup/shutdown scripts of the new instance must be modified to enable instance startup/shutdown from operating system level. The scripts to modify are called startsap or stopsap .

Procedure

To modify startsap or stopsap :

1. Fill the variable
START_PROFILE (in the scripts startsap and stopsap) with the name of the start profile you require. These two scripts are located in the home directory of the SAP administrator (for example, c11adm).
2. Use
for a new Release 3.0 installation of the start and instance profiles. An upgrade from Release 2.2x must be performed without .
3. In the start profile file, you may have to adapt the name of the instance profile used to start the SAP instance programs. To do this, use the CCMS profile maintenance tool.
