Overview

Universal Connector for SAP FS job network definition files contain statements that specify the attributes of FS job networks. These variant definitions are used by the SUBMIT, START, and RUN commands to define and start FS job networks in an SAP system.

This page provides a detailed description of the syntax options and requirements for FS job network definition files.

FS Job Network Definition File Syntax

The Universal Connector for SAP FS job network definition file is used to create an FS job network in an SAP system.

There are three types of statements used to define an FS job network:

FS Jobnet Header statement.
FS Jobnet Process statement.
FS Jobnet Process Relation statement.

An FS jobnet definition requires an FS Jobnet Header statement followed by FS Jobnet Process Statements, then FS Jobnet Process Relation statements. Statements are made up of keyword = value assignments and are terminated with a semi-colon ( ; ). Each statement type has a specific unique keyword that is required to start the keyword = value assignment list.

The following figure illustrates the syntax of a Universal Connector FS Job Network definition.

FS_Jobnet_Header FS_Jobnet_Process [FS_Jobnet_Process] 
FS_Jobnet_Process_Relation [FS_Jobnet_Process_Relation]
