Setting additional SAP rules

This procedure describes how to set additional SAP rules.

After you have imported your data, you can modify conversion rules by setting general rules and Field Editor rules. For more information about modifying setting and rules, see Modifying conversion settings.

To set additional SAP rules:

1. From the General area, select the parameters you require, as described in SAP additional general rules parameters.

   The following table describes the SAP additional general rules parameters.

   Parameter	Description
   Default account	(Mandatory) Defines the connection profile name, which appears in the Connection Profile field in the Job Properties pane in Control-M. By adding a Default account value, the connection profile is automatically added to a Control-M for SAP R/3 job. NOTE: You still need to define the connection profile in the Control-M Configuration Manager (CCM).
   Default target server	Defines the default target server. By adding a default target server value, this value appears in the Exec. Target field in the Job Properties pane in Control-M client. If unspecified, SAP determines a parameter value during runtime. NOTE: If you want to change the target server to group, after loading the converted data into Control-M, in Control-M client use the find and update feature to search for the target server and replace it with group.
   First day of the week	Defines the first day of the week of your Control-M work environment.
   Set starting condition from Event id and parameters	Converts the SAP job Event ID and EVENT param to the After event parameter in the Start Condition field in the Job Properties Pane in Control-M. NOTE: When the check box is selected, if the Event ID is SAP_END_OF_JOB, a Control-M condition is created between the predecessor and the successor jobs.
   Include periodic values	Indicates whether SAP periodic values should be converted to Control-M cyclic values.
   Convert SAP planned start date/time to Control-M SAP jobs	Converts SAP Application jobs start date and/or time to Control-M for SAP start date and/or time.

2. In the Job mode area select one of the following:
   • Copy: Copies an existing job in SAP, which enables you to set the job count setting from the drop-down list.
   • Create: Creates a new SAP job
3. Click Next to start the conversion.

   A message appears confirming that conversion is in progress. The results appear in the Conversion Results window, as described in Conversion results.

   NOTE: The conversion rules are automatically saved after you run the conversion. The set of conversion rules appears in the Conversion rules list in the Run Conversion window. You can use these rules in future conversions.

   After jobs have been converted to Control-M, jobs that are defined on the SAP system still run. These jobs need to be disabled.
