COMMAND FILE Options - Universal Connector for SAP


Description

The COMMAND FILE options are used to specify a file as a source of configuration options used for a command execution. The options read from a command file are processed exactly like options from any other input source.

Encrypted command files are an excellent place to store sensitive data such as user IDs and passwords. Use the Universal Encrypt utility to encrypt a plain text command file.

Note

All options, including required and command-specific options, can be placed in a command file.

Universal Connector can process both plain text and encrypted command files. Either type of file can be used, but not both. If both are specified, the plain text file will be used.
