Configuring and Starting the Process Chain from Informatica

Configuring and Starting the Process Chain from Informatica

You can use the command line program to configure and start the process chain.
Use the following commands:
Operating System
Command
Description
Linux
infacmd.sh sap setOpenHubServiceParameters
Run this command to set the third-party parameters for the Open Hub Destination or InfoSpoke that is part of the process chain.
Linux
infacmd.sh sap startProcessChain
Run this command to start the process chain and optionally set the third-party parameters for the Open Hub Destination or InfoSpoke that is part of the process chain.
Windows
infacmd.bat sap setOpenHubServiceParameters
Run this command to set the third-party parameters for the Open Hub Destination or InfoSpoke that is part of the process chain.
Windows
infacmd.bat sap startProcessChain
Run this command to start the process chain and optionally set the third-party parameters for the Open Hub Destination or InfoSpoke that is part of the process chain.
If you configure the third-party parameters with the zpmsetparameters.ab4 program, you cannot configure the parameters with the
infacmd.sh sap setOpenHubServiceParameters
or
infacmd.bat sap setOpenHubServiceParameters
command.
infacmd.sh sap startProcessChain
or
infacmd.bat sap startProcessChain
uses the parameters that are configured in the zpmsetparameters.ab4 program to start the process chain.
If you configure the third-party parameters with the
infacmd.sh sap setOpenHubServiceParameters
or
infacmd.bat sap setOpenHubServiceParameters
command, you do not need to enter the parameters again when you run the
infacmd.sh sap startProcessChain
or
infacmd.bat sap startProcessChain
command.
To view help for
infacmd.sh sap
, enter
infacmd.sh sap
help setOpenHubServiceParameters or
infacmd.sh sap
help startProcessChain.
To view help for
infacmd.bat sap
, enter
infacmd.bat sap
help setOpenHubServiceParameters or
infacmd.bat sap
help startProcessChain.
Before you run a command, use the
pmpasswd
command to encrypt the password to connect to the SAP system.
The setOpenHubServiceParameters command uses the following syntax:
setOpenHubServiceParameters <-UserName|-un> user_name <-Password|-pd> password <-SystemNumber|-sy> system_number <-HostName|-hn> host_name <-ClientNumber|-cl> ClientNumber [<-Language|-lg> Language] [<-Trace|-tr> Trace] <-OpenHubDest|-od> OpenHubDest <-ThirdPartyDest|-td> ThirdPartyDest [<-ProcessChainName|-pc> ProcessChainName] [<-FolderName|-fn> FolderName] <-WorkflowName|-wn> WorkflowName <-ProjectName|-pn> ProjectName <-ApplicationName|-an> ApplicationName [<-DataIntegrationServiceName|-is> DataIntegrationServiceName] [<-DomainName|-dn> DomainName] <-Context|-cn> Context
The startProcessChain command uses the following syntax:
startProcessChain <-UserName|-un> user_name <-Password|-pd> password <-SystemNumber|-sy> system_number <-HostName|-hn> host_name <-ClientNumber|-cl> ClientNumber [<-Language|-lg> Language] [<-Trace|-tr> Trace] [<-OpenHubDest|-od> OpenHubDest] [<-ThirdPartyDest|-td> ThirdPartyDest] <-ProcessChainName|-pc> ProcessChainName [<-FolderName|-fn> FolderName] [<-WorkflowName|-wn> WorkflowName] [<-ProjectName|-pn> ProjectName] [<-ApplicationName|-an> ApplicationName] [<-DataIntegrationServiceName|-is> DataIntegrationServiceName] [<-DomainName|-dn> DomainName] [<-Context|-cn> Context]
The following table describes the options and arguments for the
infacmd.sh sap setOpenHubServiceParameters
and
infacmd.sh sap startProcessChain
