Configuring and Starting the Process Chain from PowerCenter

Use the command line program pmsaputil
to configure and start the process chain in PowerCenter. You can run the following commands:

setparams.
Run to set third-party parameters for the InfoSpoke, which is part of the process chain.

startchain.
Run to start the process chain and to optionally set third-party parameters for the InfoSpoke, which is part of the process chain.

If you configure the third-party parameters with the ZPMSENDSTATUS ABAP program, you cannot configure the parameters with pmsaputil
setparams. pmsaputil
startchain uses the parameters configured in the ZPMSENDSTATUS ABAP program to start the process chain.

If you configure the third-party parameters with the setparams command, you do not need to enter the parameters again when you run the startchain command.

To view help for pmsaputil
, enter pmsaputil
help setparams or pmsaputil
help startchain.

Before you run a command, encrypt the password to connect to SAP with pmpasswd
.

The setparams command uses the following syntax:

setparams 
<-UserName|-un> user_name 
<-PassWord|-pd> password 
{[<-HostName|-hn> host_name 
<-SystemNumber|-sy> system_number>] | 
<-Destination|-ds> dest_entry_in_sapnwrfc_ini} 
<-ClientNumber|-cl> client_number 
[<-Language|-lg> language] 
[<-Trace|-tr> trace] 
<-Context|-cn> context
<-FolderName|-fn> folder_name 
<-WorkflowName|-wn> workflow_name 
[<-SessionName|-sn> session_name] 
<-OpenHubDest|-od> openhub_dest 
<-ThirdPartyDest|-td> 3rdparty_dest

The startchain command uses the following syntax:

startchain 
<-UserName|-un> user_name 
<-PassWord|-pd> password 
{[<-HostName|-hn> host_name 
<-SystemNumber|-sy> system_number>] | 
<-Destination|-ds> dest_entry_in_sapnwrfc_ini} 
<-ClientNumber|-cl> client_number 
[<-Language|-lg> language] 
[<-Trace|-tr> trace] 
<-Context|-cn> context
[<-FolderName|-fn> folder_name] 
[<-WorkflowName|-wn> workflow_name] 
[<-SessionName|-sn> session_name] 
[<-OpenHubDest|-od> openhub_dest] 
[<-ThirdPartyDest|-td> 3rdparty_dest] 
<-ProcessChainName|-pc> processchain_name

The following table describes pmsaputil
setparams and startchain options and arguments:

Options	Argument	Description
-UserName -un	user_name	Required. SAP source system connection user name.
-PassWord -pd	password	Required. Encrypted password. Run pmpasswd to encrypt passwords.
-HostName -hn	host_name	Required if you do not enter a destination entry. SAP host name.
-SystemNumber -sy	system_number	Required if you enter an SAP host name. SAP system number.
-Destination -ds	dest_entry_in_sapnwrfc_ini	Required if you do not enter a host name and system number. Destination entry in the sapnwrfc.ini file.
-ClientNumber -cl	client_number	Required. SAP client number.
-Language -lg	language	Optional. Language in which you want to receive messages from the SAP BW system. Use a language code valid for the SAP BW system you are connecting to. If you leave this blank, PowerCenter uses the default language of the SAP system to connect to SAP BW.
-Trace -tr	trace	Optional. Tracks the RFC calls that the SAP system makes. SAP stores the information about the RFC calls in a trace file.
-Context -cn	context	Enter BWOHS for the setparams command. For the startchain command, optionally enter BWOHS.
-FolderName -fn	folder_name	Required for the setparams command. Optional for the startchain command. Name of the repository folder that contains the workflow.
-WorkflowName -wn	workflow_name	Required for the setparams command. Optional for the startchain command. PowerCenter workflow name that you created to extract SAP BW data.
-SessionName -sn	session_name	Optional. Name of the PowerCenter sessions you want to start to extract SAP BW data. Starts the sessions that you configure in the workflow. If you omit this option PowerCenter Integration Service starts all the sessions in the workflow.
-OpenHubDest -od	openhub_dest	Required for the setparams command. Optional for the startchain command. InfoSpoke destination in the SAP system.
-ThirdPartyDest -td	3rdparty_dest	Required for the setparams command. Optional for the startchain command. Third-party destination in the SAP system.
-ProcessChainName -pc	processchain_name	Required. Name of the process chain you want to start. Use in the startchain command only.
