Changes To Profile Parameters Has No Effect
Changes To Profile Parameters Has No Effect
Symptom
You want to make changes to the default settings of the table buffer. To do so, you set or change the values
of the two table buffer parameters rsdb/tbi_dir_entries and rsdb/tbi_buffer_area_MB. In the following
cases, these changes remain ineffective, that is, as described in SAP Note 2103827, the old parameters
(zcsa/db_max_buftab, zcsa/table_buffer_area, rtbb/max_tables, rtbb/buffer_length) are still evaluated and the
values of the new parameters are calculated from the values of the old parameters in accordance with the
formulas specified in SAP Note 2103827:
1. You set or change just one of the parameters rsdb/tbi_dir_entries and rsdb/tbi_buffer_area_MB to a
value other than the default value (see SAP Note 2103827).
2. You set the two parameters in the default profile only.
3. You set the two parameters to the same value in the instance profile and in the default profile.

If this kernel patch is not implemented in your system, please note the following if you want to change the
table buffer parameter settings:

2. Set the two parameters only in the instance profiles and not in the default profile.
