SAPUSER Statement—Specify the SAP System User the Job Runs Under

The SAPUSER statement specifies the SAP system user the job runs under. The SAPUSER statement overrides the SAP user specified in the connection properties file.

Supported Job Types

This statement is optional for the following job types:

Syntax

This statement has the following format:

SAPUSER user_name

user_name

Specifies the name of the user the job runs under. The value corresponds to the SAPGUI User field on the Create Step dialog.

Limits: Up to 32 valid SAP characters; case-sensitive; it cannot contain delimiters (such as spaces)

Notes:

If you do not specify the SAP system user using the SAPUSER statement, note the following:
- The ABAP started by the job runs with the authority of the SAP user defined in the connection properties file for the SAP system. You can override this behavior with the STEPUSER statement.
- The agent administrator must define the jco.client.user and jco.client.passwd properties in the connection properties file for the SAP system. For more information on the connection properties file, see the CA Workload Automation Agent for SAP Implementation Guide.
If you specify the SAPUSER statement in the job definition, you must define the password using the PASSWORD command.

Example: Specify the User ID the Job Runs Under

This example runs the BTCTEST ABAP under the authority of the USERXXX01 user ID, as the STEPUSER statement is not included:

SAPJOBNAME SAPTEST
AGENT SAPHTAGENT
SAPUSER USERXX01
ABAPNAME BTCTEST
   VARIANT TEST
   SAPTARGETSYSTEM tst005

Example: Run a Job under the Default User ID

This example runs the job under the authority of the default user ID specified in the connection properties files, as the SAPUSER and STEPUSER statements are not included:

SAPJOBNAME SAPTEST
AGENT SAPHTAGENT
ABAPNAME BTCTEST
   VARIANT TEST
   SAPTARGETSYSTEM tst005
