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 Linux, 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 (Linux)

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 and Log on by using the 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.
