2.3 InfoPackage or process chain control function setup

This section explains the setup that must be performed to use the InfoPackage control function or the process chain control function of JP1/AJS3 for EAP.

Before using JP1/AJS3 for EAP (InfoPackage control or process chain control), you must perform the setup outlined below. For UNIX, perform the setup as a superuser.

Procedure 1

Setting up the operating environment for JP1/AJS3 for EAP (InfoPackage control or process chain control)

Procedure 2

Setting the path

Procedure 3

Setting the language type (UNIX)

Procedure 4

Adding SAP BW system entries to the services file

Procedure 5

Adding SAP BW system entries to the hosts file

Procedure 6

Completing the following setup steps before using the commands for InfoPackage control or process chain control:

Create the saprfc.ini file to make sure that the -d option for SAP BW destination information is usable. ^#1

Set the defaults for the command common arguments (SAP BW destination information and SAP BW logon information). ^#2

Procedure 7

Creating the saprfc.ini file before SAP BW system custom job execution ^#3 (Windows)

Procedure 8

Specifying the action to take when InfoPackage ends with a warning on the SAP BW system side

Procedure 9

Providing a SAP user for the InfoPackage control or process chain control

Procedure 10

Setting a codepage when connecting to a Unicode version SAP system

#1

This step is not necessary if the -d option will not be used.

#2

This step must be performed when common arguments (SAP BW destination information and SAP BW logon information) for the InfoPackage control or process chain control commands are not specified. If the SAP BW destination information and SAP BW logon information are specified on the command line, this step is not necessary.

#3

This step is not necessary if the saprfc.ini file will not be used for SAP BW system custom job definition.

The procedures are detailed in the following sections.

When JP1/AJS3 for EAP communicates with a SAP BW system, the connecting side (JP1/AJS3 for EAP) does not use a specific port number or a well-known port number, and the connected side (SAP BW system) uses a different port number based on the connection method used. For details about the port numbers that are available in the SAP BW system based on connection methods, see B.1 Port numbers to be used for communication with an R/3 system or a SAP BW system.

If a firewall will be placed between JP1/AJS3 for EAP and a SAP BW system, see B.2 Permitted direction of traffic when a firewall is used.
