SAP Note 22859 - Defect. RSTG chain for trans. TU02, rep. RSORA110

Symptom:

Note Version: 14 Nov 1995
Transaction:
->Tools -> Administration
-> Monitoring -> Performance
-> Setup/buffers -> Parameter changes
terminates with "RSTG chain defect".

Transaction code TU02
Program name RSORA110

Cause and prerequisites

Error in C program code:
If several profile values are imported from ABAP at the same time, including some, whose values (default or final) are longer than 60 bytes, these are over-written.
The exact effect of this depends on the actual length, on the sequence, on the operating system, and so on.

The corresponding CALL occurs in the reports 'RSORA110', 'RSPFPAR' and 'RSPARAM'.

Solution
It always affects display functions. If the parameter value is not very long, it can be found, and therefore changed, by calling one of the other programs, or by using 'sapparar'.
'sapparar' is called from the operating system level: /usr/sap/C11/SYS/exe/run/sapparar pf=.... all or
/usr/sap/C11/SYS/exe/run/sapparar pf=.... all_def

Corrected in Releases 2.1m, 2.2g, 3.0a.
(The correction announced for 2.1l and 2.2f was, unfortunately, not ready on time.)
