There are different types of profile is available in sap basis such as
In this article lets discuss about managing profile in different ways, There are two of Transaction codes are used to update and manage profile in sap. They are RZ11 and RZ10
These two can be differentiated in two ways, They are static and Dynamic
RZ11- This is a dynamic change where it doesn't require system restart, However RZ10 is a static one which requires system restart to apply the changes here, this profile resides at the table "TPFYPROPTY"
Lets, see the types of maintenance that is available for RZ10 changes,
Administration data
No need to maintain using this option. It only specifies the path of
the parameters.
Basic Maintenance:
It is used to maintain the profile parameters without any technical names.
GUI based using mouse
Extended Maintenance:
This maintenance options are used by administrators to update the parameters that are needed as per the system requirement. E.g.: If any recommendations is provided by sap to update the parameter. Post updating the parameter we need to activate the profile and save it. After performing these actions a new .BAK file will be generated at the OS level under the profile directory with the new changes. Once the system is restarted the changes will be in place since it is a Static parameter change
It is important to note that it is not recommended to change the parameter without a valid recommendation as it may hits the performance of the system which leads to startup issue
