    Hello,

    Does anyone suggest a way (script / command) to check if SAP is active?

    Thank you!

    Hi Rodrigo,

    I assume you have an Automic Agent connected to the SAP system. So you can use SYS_HOST_ALIVE as described here

    :set &sap_alive# = sys_host_alive ("sapagent", "conn.r3.sapagent")

    Hello Peter,

    Thank you for the Reply!

    Yes, but this "sys_host_alive" will only check if the agent is alive, not the system itself.
    I could not find a way to check if the system itself is up.


    Thank you!
    Rodrigo

    Hi Rodrigo,

    have you used both values, agent and conn object?

    Hi Peter,
    You are right. This can be an option. I will make some tests.
    Thank you!

    Hello Peter,

    I am back to this topic again. I realized that using the agent and connection together, if the agent is up and the system is down, the script stays as "waiting for the server". For me does not make sense. If both are up, the anaylis is correct.

    The Atributes are empty because I am defining the entries using an include on the Pre-Process. Process are empty too. O the Post-Process I did the check:

    :IF sys_host_alive ("&SAP_SID#", "CONN_&SAP_SID#") = "N"
    xx
    :ENDIF

    Do you have an idea?

    Thanks Rodrigo

    Hi Rodrigu,

    I suppose you have created a JOBS, not a SCRI object, right?

    Yes. it is a JOBS.
    I saw somewhere that should be executed in the post-processing.

    Checking SAP should be done from a SCRI object. As you experienced, if the SAP system is not up the JOBS will wait and wait and wait ...
    But a SCRI object will check and end normally.

    Sorry I was not clear. The need to use the Post_Processing was the use of command MODIFY_STATE, which I am using in order to block the workflow where the job is included.

    :IF sys_host_alive ("&SAP_SID#", "CONN_&SAP_SID#") = "Y"
    xx
    : MODIFY_STATE RETCODE=1800
    xx
    :ENDIF

    Do you suggest any other command to block the execution and stop the workflow where the job is included? If I have another option I can try to use SCRIPT object again.

    Hi Rodrigo,

    in case that an agent (Windows, Unix, SAP, RAFTP, ...) is not active the JOBS will wait for the agent (status "waiting for host"). I can see 2 options:

    check the Agent status from the PreProcess tab in object properties:

    check the Agent status in the preProcess tab of the JOBS:
     if you have to check in many JOBS, create an INC onject and reference it in the PreProcess tab.

    regards,
    Peter

    Hello Rodrigo,
    we check SAP with an SAP-Job running a "dummyreport" like "BTCSPOOL". If the job fails -> SAP or the agent is not alive.

    Hello

    Running the ABAP RSPARAM would be fine also:

    R3_ACTIVATE_REPORT REPORT=RSPARAM,VARIANT=TEST

    You have to make sure that the Variant Test actually exists. If this is not,
    you can create this variant with the SE38 transaction,
    choose another already existing Variant,
    or leave the paramater Variant.

    RSPARAM is a standard ABAP program that lists the SAP profile paramers, and it is present on any system.

    Hello, Thanks for the reply.

    We thought this, but in this case I am afraid to create misunderstanding about the reason of non execution.
