Procedure documentation Changing a Value Directly in the Database Parameter File Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You use this command to change the parameters of the database instance.

Unlike the DBM command for changing the value of a database parameter, the value for the specified parameter is entered in the database parameter file directly. An entry is only made if the parameter is already contained in the parameter file.

Parameter changes are refused in the following cases:

·        The parameter has the value Nobody for the Change property

·        The parameter has the value NO for the property MODIFY and the parameter file has already been checked by the kernel (parameter __PARAM_CHANGED___ exists)

·        The parameter is a volume parameter (VOLUME property = Yes) and the parameter file contains kernel parameters that have been changed (VOLUMEproperty = No) but have not yet been checked by the kernel
(Exception: You are creating a new database instance)

·        The parameter is a kernel parameter and volume parameters have already been changed, but not yet checked by the kernel.

Caution

Use this command with care.

This DBM command allows you to access the parameter file for the database instance directly. The entered value for the parameter is not checked for consistency.

Prerequisites

You have the server authorization ParamFull.
