Parameter: ACTIVATION_SCHEDULER_ENABLED
Definition
Description and Use
In a convergent charging scenario with business process orchestration (invoicing, billing, or reporting), this system parameter enables (or disables) an internal scheduler function that is responsible for the automated and regular activation of periodic fees (see recurring charges) and one-off fees (see one-shot charges) to be processed for each provider contract in customer master data stored in SAP Convergent Charging.
When set to true, an Activation scheduler is available in the active updater instance of the running SAP CC Core Server system.
This internal scheduler function wakes up periodically according to the value of the
ACTIVATION_SCHEDULER_RECURRENCE system parameter.
The scheduler requests the rater instances to trigger the Activation Process.
Notes
- Recurring and one-shot rates can be charged when usage events (service consumption) are charged, even if this system parameter is set to false.
- This scheduler is provided only for compatibility purpose with older versions of SAP Convergent Charging. Since version 3.0, SAP recommends that you implement the external manual, automated or scheduled triggering of the activation of periodic fees and one-off fees to map the business requirements of the invoicing and billing process or the settlement reporting process necessary in your system landscape. This implementation is part of the Customizing activities during the customer implementation project. Two technical interfaces are available (Web Services for new projects and Message TCP for old projects).
-
If you set up the parameter value to
true, it does not trigger any execution. The scheduler function becomes ready to launch new jobs depending on the defined recurrence. - You can manually force this activation with the SAP CC Admin+ user interface and the start_activation command.
- You may fine-tune this scheduled function.
Configuration Options
- Recurrence: ACTIVATION_SCHEDULER_RECURRENCE
- Special option: ACTIVATION_SCHEDULER_SUBSCRIPTION_ENABLED
- Tuning: ACTIVATION_SCHEDULER_MAX_THROUGHPUT
If your SAP system landscape includes subscription objects in master data, please note the configuration option that is relevant
for you.
If the ACTIVATION_SCHEDULER_SUBSCRIPTION_ENABLED system parameter is set to true,
the activation scheduler takes into account the subscriptions. This master data is specified by the former data model of SAP
CC.

You can use a default value to reset the runtime value or the restart value (persistent) in the Admin+ user interface. Note A default value is part of the factory settings of the SAP CC Core Server systems. It differs from the original value set during the installation or after the Customizing activities. In Admin+, you can reset a parameter value to this default value, but it is not recommended:
