Hi

This is of more Basis related querry

INSTANCE is based on the database you are using , only one instance for one database.

You have to define certain paramters like DATAHOST, Workprocesses etc for that instance.

For more info refer to basis forum..

Hi Sagarika

<b>Instance Profile:

Instance profiles provide an application server with additional configuration parameters to complement the settings values from the default profile. Typically, these parameter settings adapt the instance according to the desired resources. They also define the available instance resources (main memory, shared memory, roll memory and so on), and how to allocate memory to the SAP application buffers.</b>

SAP profiles are operating system files that contain instance setup information. SAP Systems can consist of one or more instances. Individual setup parameters can be customized to the requirements of each instance. These individual parameters allow you to configure:

• The runtime environment of the instance (resources such as main memory size, shared memory, roll size)

• Which services the instance has available (work processes)

• Where other services can be found (database host).

SAP profiles are stored in a special file directory. This directory can be made accessible from all hosts depending on current needs:

UNIX systems : /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/profile

Windows NT systems: \<SAPGLOBALHOST>\sapmnt\<SID>\sys\profile\

if it is usefull give ...
