2.2 Job control function setup
This section explains the setup that must be performed to enable the use of the job control functions of JP1/AJS3 for EAP. Before using the job control functions of JP1/AJS3 for EAP, 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 (job control)
- Procedure 2
-
Setting the path
- Procedure 3
-
Setting the language type (UNIX)
- Procedure 4
-
Adding R/3 system entries to the services file
- Procedure 5
-
Adding R/3 system entries to the hosts file
- Procedure 6
-
Completing the following setup steps before using the job control commands:
-
Create the sapnwrfc.ini file to make sure that the -d option for R/3 destination information is usable.#1
-
Set the defaults for the command common arguments (R/3 destination information and R/3 logon information).#2
-
- Procedure 7
-
Creating the sapnwrfc.ini file before R/3 system custom job execution#3
- Procedure 8
-
Enabling the XBP 2.0 interface (to use functions)#4
- Procedure 9
-
Preparing a SAP user for job control
- Procedure 10
-
Setting the code page 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 (R/3 destination information and R/3 logon information) for the job control commands are not specified. If the R/3 destination information and R/3 logon information are specified on the command line, this step is not necessary.
- #3
-
This step is not necessary if Connect by sapnwrfc.ini file are not used for R/3 system custom job definitions.
- #4
-
Perform this procedure to use the following functions:
-
Monitoring the completion of a job, including child jobs that are generated during the execution of the target job (completion monitoring of parent and child jobs)
-
Specifying job class A or B as the priority level of a job
-
Controlling the following extended print parameters:
- Specifying the title of a spool request
- Specifying the output format using a format name
- Specifying the department name to be printed on the cover sheet
- Specifying the information text when archive data is output
-
The procedures are detailed in the following sections.
When JP1/AJS3 for EAP communicates with an R/3 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 (R/3 system) uses a different port number based on the connection method used. For details about the port numbers that are available in the R/3 system based on the connection method, see B.1 List of port numbers.
If a firewall will be placed between JP1/AJS3 for EAP and an R/3 system, see B.2 Firewall passage direction and supported firewalls.
- Important note
-
Use up to 15 bytes for the name of the OS user that executes commands or custom jobs. If the OS user name is 16 bytes or longer, an interface error occurs at the SAP side and jobs cannot be executed.
