    Hi all,
    I'm going to use the new SAP Plugin instead of the old SAP Adaptetr and I have a question regarding how to translate the following SAP Adapter job:
    auto_r3v45 -C P01_700 job ZPAGAM_FOIT_CONTA_ZEX
    into the new SAP Plugin syntax.
    I only see SAP "prog + variant" but not SAP "job" in the plugin .


    In a few words: does anyone know the syntax (il JIL) to run with the SAP Plugin a SAP job (not a program + variant but a simple SAP job)?


    Can anyone help me?

    Hi Roberto,

     

    Could you check if the following answered question helps?

    Converting from auto_r3v45 (r4) to job_type: SAP (r11) - any hint? 

     

    And I will add tag for CA WA AE, so that more autosys users will see it.

     

    Thank you,

     

    Lucy

    Hello,

     

    Yes ,  we have conversion tool which converts sap adaptor jobs to plugin jobs.

    there is a user guide which has all the information how to use the tool .

    SAP Adapter Conversion Utility User Guide

    You have some available samples as the following one

     

    1) sap adaptor  job

    Insert_job: auto_r3_prog Job_type: c
    command: auto_r3v45 prog RSLG0000 SAP_TODAY
    machine: localhost
    owner: bocoqa@haiti
    permission: gx,wx
    std_out_file: /as/qa/elke/hp/auto_r3_prog.out
    std_err_file: /as/qa/elke/hp/auto_r3_prog.err
    alarm_if_fail: 1

     

    2)  plugin job

    Insert_job: auto_r3_prog job_type:SAP
    sap_job_name:BATCHTST
    sap_step_parms:abap_name=RSLG0000,variant=SAP_TODAY
    machine: localhost
    sap_rfc_dest:Bil1
    sap_client:001
    sap_target_sys:lodlc2001
    Sap_lang:EN
    owner: CYBERMATION@SAP_Bl1_001
    permission: gx,wx
    alarm_if_fail: 1

     

    I hope this response suits your need

     

    PS:  if you need this tool, please open a case for this request and we will send to you the package attached to the case.

     

    Thanks and best regards,

    The conversion utility does a good job of converting what you have in the adaptor but we found 2  additional things we needed to consider/change:

    1. the plugin is significantly faster in intiating a SAP job, and reporting the SAP job finish (in the order of 10x) so we had workflows go from 1hr -> 10minutes (the impact of this is more for a series of quick SAP jobs than 1 long one) , which meant that we had to rethink some of the workflow in AE due to this performance "improvement"

    2.  the plugin has a lot more functionality than the adaptor with regard to the parameters of the SAP job than the adaptor, so after the conversion we then went through and reviewed (over time) what additional functionality we could use for each workflow.

     

    Have fun with the conversion, Andrew
