Raising an SAP Event for z/OS Example

The following example demonstrates raising events in a remote SAP system using the Universal Data Mover (UDM) execsap command.

In this example, we assume the following scenario:

The job scheduler on SAP system CF5 has been set up with three jobs that are triggered by SAP event UDM_TRANSFER_COMPLETE. Additionally, each job is looking for a different event parameter (cars.dat, trucks.dat, and boats.dat) corresponding with the Input file it is intended to process.

UDM is being run on a z/OS system to transfer three data files (cars.dat, trucks.dat, and boats.dat) from remote system sol9 to remote system SAP001. The data files are to be used by the SAP system for Batch Input Processing. Therefore, after each file transfer, the execsap command is issued to raise an appropriate event in the SAP system. These events are picked up by the SAP job scheduler which, in turn, kicks off the jobs that were scheduled for those events.
