Creating a Universal Connector Job Definition Using the GENERATE JOBDEF Command - UNIX
SAP jobs offer many configuration options. Manually creating Universal Connector job definitions that utilize many configuration options can be tedious and time consuming.
Fortunately, Universal Connector offers a function that will generate a complete job definition based on a pre-existing template job on the SAP system. The generated job definition can then be modified, if needed.
The following example demonstrates the use of the generate jobdef command. It will generate a complete Universal Connector job definition based on the pre-existing job USP_TEMPLATE_1 with job id 12345678. The generated job definition will contain all the information required to create a new SAP job definition equivalent to the template job.
Note
This job assumes (and requires) that a job already exists on the SAP system with:
- Job Name: USP_TEMPLATE_1
- Job ID: 12345678
The following figure illustrates the command used to generate a Universal Connector job definition.
usap -dest CF5 -client 800 -userid sapuid -pwd sappwd -generate jobdef
-jobname USP_TEMPLATE_1 -jobid 12345678
