Creating a Universal Connector Variant Definition Using the GENERATE VARDEF Command - z/OS

SAP variants often have many parameters. Manually creating Universal Connector variant definitions can be tedious and time consuming.

Universal Connector offers a function that generates a complete variant definition based on a pre-existing template variant on the SAP system. The generated variant definition then can be used with a Universal Connector SUBMIT or MODIFY command to prepare a variant for a job run.

The following example demonstrates the use of the GENERATE VARDEF command.

SYSIN Options

SYSIN options used in this example are:

Command Options	Description
