Procedure documentationCalling the Executable Program

 

To start the ASCII Adapter, you have to call up the corresponding executable program.

You can also use this program call to:

  • Store the user password for the database and the RFC connection encrypted in the Windows NT Registry (see Database Access) or to delete it again.

  • Fill tables SMO7ASCAD and SMO7ASCSTR automatically. (Alternatively, you can use transaction ASC2).

  • Test the database connection or RFC connection.

Procedure

  1. Start the program from within the MS-DOS command mode.

  2. The call command is structured as follows:

    CRMASCAD <parFile> [<act>[<client>]] [[[<table-1>]<table-2>]...<table-n>]

    Elements in brackets ([ ]) are optional.

The following parameters are available:

Parameter

Value

<parFile>

Enter the path and name of the parameter file here. Use quotation marks for your entry.

<act>

The following options are available:

  • F: you can use this variable to start the flow. In this case, enter the client number here.

  • -B: with this parameter you can trigger the processing of a selected BDoc type. Specify its name.

  • -P: encryption of the DB password in the registry, see above.

  • -PR: encryption of the RFC password in the registry, see above.

  • -CR: deletes the RFC password in the registry.

  • -C: deletes the DB password in the registry.

  • -G A: creates mapping entries for special tables in the Adapter Repository.

  • -R: deletes mapping entries in the Repository.

  • -T: tests the database connection and the RFC connection.

[[[<table-1>]<table-2>]...<table-n>]

Enter the names of the temporary CDB tables you want to process here.

Result

If you only enter CRMASCAD to call up the program, the above structure will be displayed.

If you start the ASCII Adapter with parameter -F only, i.e. without specifying tables, the flow starts the BDoc Generator and the BDoc Structure Mapper.

Note Note

If you do not enter a value for <client>, the default client defined in parameter CRMASCAD file is used.

End of the note.

If you start the ASCII Adapter and only specify tables, the conversion is performed without starting the flow.
