Updating a parameter by name

This procedure describes how to update a parameter by name instead of an index number.

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 add parameter values in a variant:

• Type one of the following commands:
  • UNIX:

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

    -SAPR3-PROGRAM <program_name> -SAPR3-VAR <variant_name>

    -SAPR3-VAR_PARAM<nnn> -SAPR3-IGNORE_INDEX Y

  • Windows:

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

    -SAPR3-ACCOUNT <account_name> -SAPR3-PROGRAM <program_name>

    -SAPR3-VAR <variant_name> -SAPR3-VAR_PARAM<nnn> -SAPR3-IGNORE_INDEX Y

  For a list of parameters, see var_edit action parameters.

EXAMPLE: Program, "ZQA_MANY_VARIANTS" contains "VAR1" variant, which uses "LMN" variant and index 5 (which means that when updating this variant, LMN parameter appears 5th on the list of parameters). If you want to update the index to any number, such as 14, the parameter is updated successfully. Use the following command:

ctmr3req -SAPR3-ACTION var_edit -SAPR3-ACCOUNT DX1

-SAPR3-PROGRAM ZQA_MANY_VARIANTS -SAPR3-VAR VAR1

-SAPR3-VAR_PARAM01 "LMN=14" -SAPR3-IGNORE_INDEX Y
