Executing a scenario in stand-alone mode

You can execute a scenario on a host machine if:

An import/export connector (IEC) is installed on the host
The scenario to be executed is saved in a directory

You can execute only one scenario at a time with one connector. To execute a scenario, you launch a connector executable with the scenario filename as an argument.

Procedures

Refer to the table below:

Environment

Executable

Procedures

MS Windows

iec.bat

To launch a connector program

1. Open a COMMAND window

2. Type: cd <IEC_INSTALL_DIR>\bin

3. Press ENTER

4. Then type: iec.bat <ARGUMENTS>

5. Press ENTER

To stop a connector, close the COMMAND window in which the scenario is running in a connector.

UNIX

iec.sh

To launch a connector program

1. Open a UNIX console window

2. Type: <IEC_INSTALL_DIR>/bin/iec.sh <ARGUMENTS>

3. Press ENTER

To stop a connector, close the UNIX window in which the scenario is running in a connector.

Where:

<IEC_INSTALL_DIR> is the installation directory of an import/export connector (IEC) program; Its launch scripts are available in the bin subfolder.
<ARGUMENTS> are the mandatory and optional options to be executed

The description of the command arguments is the following:

-login <USR_LOGIN> -password <USR_PASSWORD> <SCENARIO_DIR> -uri <CCD_URIS> [-rootDir [<LOG_DIR>]] [-scheduled]

Where:

<USR_LOGIN> is the login of a power user or administrator having the right to execute the connector program

<USR_PASSWORD> is the password of the technical user identified with <USR_LOGIN>

<SCENARIO_DIR> is the path to the scenario file to be executed by the connector
<CCD_URIS> is the comma-separated URIs of the dispatcher instances of SAP CC Core Server; The URI syntax is <PROT>://<HOST_ADDRESS>:<MSG_TCP_PORT> where:
<PROT> is the communication protocol; the possible values are: tcp and tcps (secured channel).
<HOST_ADDRESS> is the hostname or the IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) of the machine hosting the dispatcher instance related to the URI; View the instance map of the SAP CC system.
<MSG_TCP_PORT> is the port number of the host that is dedicated to the dispatcher instance for the communications via the Message TCP technical interface; View the instance map of the SAP CC system.

Notes:

The syntax <HOST_ADDRESS>:<MSG_TCP_PORT> is deprecated and replaced by the syntax based on tcp and tcps prefixes.
When the UDP discovery function is available in SAP CC Core Server, you can replace the URI list by the following entry: udp://<IP_ADDRESS>:8910/?SID=SCC ; the import/export connector (IEC) discovers the SAP CC system and connects to it via the Message TCP technical interface by using the relevant security level. View the current system settings to check if the function is enabled: Get the values of the following system parameters: EXTERNAL_DISCOVERY_ENABLED, EXTERNAL_DISCOVERY_MULTICAST_ADDRESS, and EXTERNAL_DISCOVERY_PORT.

-rootDir [<LOG_DIR>] is an optional argument; <LOG_DIR> is the directory where the log files are saved; if <LOG_DIR> is not mentioned, the default directory is the user working directory that depends on the procedure used to launch the connector program.
-scheduled is an optional argument; this argument enables the scheduler as configured in the scenario to be executed; if this argument is not mentioned, the scenario is executed only once even if the scenario defines regular activities
