How to check parameter value without RZ11

If you need to check parameter values, but RZ11 is unavailable.
- Not ABAP instance with RZ11. Like ASCS instance, JAVA instance, Standalone gateway, SAP webdispatcher…
- Instance hang/unable to startup, have no chance to open RZ11 at the moment.
- the parameter is unknown in RZ11

Then you have the following options:

sapcontrol -nr <instance id> -function CheckParameter
This can be used to get the parameter list, which include all the values.

sapcontrol -nr <instance id> -function ParameterValue <parameter_name>
With this command you can get parameter list, but only with current value.

sappfpar all pf=<whole path of profile>
Print all parameters and their Values.

sappfpar details pf=<path of profile>
With this you need to specify one parameter name, then get the details about this particular parameter.
