Once the required files have been installed on your workstation by your administrator, you can launch the CAT Tool user interface.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the user names and passwords given by your administrator to:
Export a scenario to or import a scenario from a connector repository
Export XCIs to or import XCIs from the IEC database
Check that you have the address to access the database of SAP CC or another database (SQL Action).
To launch Core Tool
This procedure is valid for a Windows environment.
Using Windows Explorer, open the SAP Convergent Charging folder.
Open the Bin folder and double-click the cat_tool.bat file. The main window of the application is displayed.
The administrator can configure SAP CC Core Server to use a password management policy which can oblige SAP CC users to change their password.
If the password management policy is enabled and if it applies to you, a message is displayed to inform that your password must be changed. A window is then displayed to change this password.
If the password management policy does not apply to you, or if it has been disabled, SAP CC Core Tool starts and displays the main window.
