Altering parameter values in a variant

This procedure describes how to alter the value of set parameters in a variant.

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>

    “<variant_parameter_name>=<variant_parameter_value> [-SAPR3-VAR_TEXT

    “<variant_text>”]

  • 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>

    “<variant_parameter_name>=<variant_parameter_value> [-SAPR3-VAR_TEXT

    “<variant_text>”] [-Agent <agent_name>]

  For a list of parameters, see var_edit action parameters.

  EXAMPLE: The ctmr3req utility is used to alter parameter values, using the STAR account for the prog1 program, with the var1 variant, when the Airline value is an integer between 5 and 9. The text is “This is a test variant”. All parameters are mandatory, except the SAPR3-VAR_TEXT parameter, as indicated by the square brackets.

  ctmr3req -SAPR3-ACTION var_edit -SAPR3-ACCOUNT STAR -SAPR3-PROGRAM

  prog1 -SAPR3-VAR var1 -SAPR3-VAR_PARAM001 "AIRLINE=I,BT,5 => 9" [-

  SAPR3-VAR_TEXT "This is a test var"]
