Raising an SAP event

This procedure describes how to enable a specific SAP background processing event to be raised (triggered).

Before you begin

Do one of the following:

• Windows: Open a new DOS prompt window.
• UNIX: Ensure that you are logged on as the Control-M/Agent user.

To raise an SAP event:

• Type one of the following commands:
  • UNIX:

    ctmr3req -SAPR3-ACTION raise_event -SAPR3-ACCOUNT <account_name>

    -SAPR3-EVENT_ID <event_ID> -SAPR3-EVENT_PARAM <event_parameter>

  • Windows:

    <Agent home directory>\CM\SAP\EXE\ctmr3req -SAPR3-ACTION raise_event

    -SAPR3-ACCOUNT <account_name> -SAPR3-EVENT_ID <event_ID>

    -SAPR3-EVENT_PARAM <event_parameter> [-Agent <agent_name>]

  For a list of parameters, see raise_event action parameters.

  EXAMPLE: The ctmr3req utility raises the ev1 event, with the parameter value of evparm1, using the STAR account. All parameters are mandatory.

  ctmr3req -SAPR3-ACTION raise_event -SAPR3-ACCOUNT STAR -SAPR3-

  EVENT_ID ev1 -SAPR3-EVENT_PARAM evparm1
