Query on ABAP profile parameter attributes

former_member699182 — Wed, 29 Oct 2014 05:30:26 GMT

Hi,

I would like to check in my ABAP report program if the Current value field of the Display Profile Parameter Attributes under RZ11 is 0 or not.

I googled and found about the table TPFYPROPTY which has the profile parameters.

But under what name is the current value field in?

Also, would like to know if i can use a select query to read directly from the table.

I am a newbie to ABAP development.

Please help.

Thanks.

Hi, Gita!

You can use FM 'RSAN_SYSTEM_PARAMETER_READ' to read system profile parameters (while testing it in SE37, don't forget to switch on checkbox uppercase/lowercase letters).

Hello Nikolay,

Thanks for the reply. But what would be the field i_name and field e_value that I should pass to C_SAPGPARAM? I would like to retrieve the Current Value field only.

Hi, Gita!

I_NAME is your profile parameter name, E_VALUE will be returned with current value of the parameter you need.

You haven't specified what exactly parameter you need, you can view all of them in report RSPARAM.

Thanks a lot. Its clear now. I wanted it for rdisp/btctime.

Just curious, are the attributes available in a table and can i use a select query to read it directly from the table instead of calling a FM?

You are welcome!

If I remember right, changed values of profile parameters are stored in text files somewhere around /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/profile/ on application server. So, low-level function is used to fetch them. And the table you mentioned seems to have only descriptions of parameters, min/max values of them and so on.

REPORT ZGUITEST.

PARAMETER: PNAM(20) TYPE C.

DATA: CVAL TYPE I.

CALL 'C_SAPGPARAM'
id 'NAME' field PNAM
id 'VALUE' field CVAL.

WRITE CVAL.

Am i doing something wrong here. The CVAL returns 0 whereas I have 60 for rdisp/btctime when i see in RZ11.

Please help.

I wouldn't advise you to do a straight call to C_SAPGPARAM. There is an above-mentioned wrapper for you :

DATA lv_name TYPE spfpflpar-parname.
DATA lv_value TYPE spfpflpar-pvalue.

lv_name = 'rdisp/btctime'.

CALL FUNCTION 'RSAN_SYSTEM_PARAMETER_READ'
   EXPORTING
     i_name     = lv_name
   IMPORTING
     e_value    = lv_value
   EXCEPTIONS
     read_error = 1
     OTHERS     = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here
ENDIF.

It works fine for me.
