Syntax |
Description / Format |
---|---|
ID= |
Technical designation of the process chain. |
NOFOUND= |
Handling if a process chain cannot be found. NORMAL = Script continues, AE jobAn Automation Engine object type for a process that runs on a target system. ends normally. |
ERROR= |
Handling if a process chain ends abnormally ABEND = The script aborts, the AE job ends abnormally. |
PROCESSLOGS= |
Output of a process chain's individual process logs. YES = Individual process logs are added to the process chain
log |
RESTART= |
Number of attempts for continuation of an interrupted process chain |
JOBLOGS= |
Output of the process background job log YES = Process background job logs are output |
LONGTEXT= |
Output of a log message's long text (diagnostics
text). Allowed values: YES, NO or ERROR
ERROR = The log message long text is only output if an error
occurs. |
REPLICATE= |
Handling of the children of a process chain Format of the value: script literal Allowed values: ALL, YES or NO (Default value) ALL = Replicates all a job's child processes in the AE system (including skipped ones). They are shown in the UserInterfaceThis is the Automation Engine's graphical user interface. [Formerly called the "Rich Client", "RichGUI" and "Dialog Client."]'s Activity Window. Statistical records and reports are also generated in the AE system.
|
STATUSRETRY= |
Number or repeated statusThis represents the condition of a task (such as active, blocked, generating). checks Default value: 0 Due to a special SAP behavior, process chains can show the status "ended" for a short time but continue afterwards. The agentA program that enables the de-centralized execution of processes (such as deployments) on target systems (computers or business solutions) or a service that provides connectivity to a target system (such as for databases or middleware). An agent is also an object type in the Automation Engine. [Formerly called "Executor."] See also: host reports this process chain as ended if it has retrieved its status exactly at this point in time. Use the parameter STATUSRETRY= to prevent that the end of a process chain is reported too early. You can determine the number of repeated status checks with this parameter. Only after n repetitions, the Automation EngineThis component drives an Automation Engine system and consists of different types of server processes. will be informed that the process has ended. |
SCHEDULE= |
New scheduling of process chains Allowed values: YES (default) or NO YES = The process chain is newly scheduled. |
SYNCHRONOUS= |
Executes process chains synchronously. Allowed values: YES or NO (default) YES = Synchronous execution. Therefore, the process chain is processed in dialog mode instead of background mode and the individual child processes are completed serially. |
GET_SPOOL= |
Requests the spool listShows entities in a grid view of the started job.
Allowed values: YES or NO (default) YES = The spool list is requested. It is stored as a text file in the directory that has been defined in the SAP agent's INI file with the parameter Download_dir= (Sektion [GLOBAL]). The name of this file is structured as follows: NO = The spool list is not requested. |
COLLECTLOGS= |
Writes the reports of the activated process chain's child processes to the job report. The reports of replicated child processes are by default available in the job report AND the taskAn executable object that is running. Tasks are also referred to as activities. of the child process. Therefore, this information is redundant in the job and you can decide not to assume this information here. Allowed values: YES (default) or NO YES - Logs of child processes are written to the job report. Note that the reports of the child processes are not available if you specify NO in the parameters REPLICATE and COLLECTLOGS. |
This script element starts a process chain. First, determine the start conditions. If the process chain does not start immediately but only following an eventAction that is triggered if particular conditions apply. It can be an Automation Engine object type or an entry in a Policy Orchestrator EventBase. or at a certain time, these start conditions are logged.
When the process chain starts, it is monitored until it ends. The process chain log is always stored in the activation report. Individual process logs or process background job logs are also output depending on the parameters PROCESSLOGS= and JOBLOGS=.
The parameter RESTART= can be used to trigger repeated attempts for the process chain to continue if it has been interrupted.
This example activates a process chain which has previously been queried by a userIn the Automation Engine, a user is an instance of a User object, and generally the user is a specific person who works with Automic products. The User object is assigned a user ID and then a set of access rights to various parts of the Automation Engine system and product suite. These access rights come in the form of Automation Engine authorizations and privileges, Decision user roles and EventBase rights and ARA web application object rights. You can manage all these centrally in the ECC user management functions. See also, Unified user management.. The values for the relevant script element's parameters also result from this query. These values are assigned to the script element as script variables.
