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.

  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"]
