Configure Context Parameters

For every job that is imported, certain context parameters in the APM Connect Administration Center must be configured. This topic describes how to configure the required context parameters, so that you can run the job.

Steps

In the APM Connect Administration Center, in the Job Conductor workspace, select the Job for which you would like to set parameters.
At the bottom of the Job Conductor workspace, select Context parameters.

The Context parameters section appears.
In the Context parameter column, scroll down to the context parameter you would like to configure.
In the Custom value box, configure context parameters, and select the Active check boxes for the following:
- APM User_ID: Enter your GE Digital APM user name
- APM_PASSWORD: Enter your GE Digital APM password.
- IR_USERID:Enter your intermediate repository user name.
- IR_PASSWORD: Enter your intermediate repository password.
- SAP_USERID: Enter you SAP System user name.
- SAP_PASSWORD: Enter your SAP system password.
- CONFIG_FILE_PATH: Enter the file path to the location where the context file is stored.
- LOG4j_FILE_PATH: Enter the filed path to the location where the Log4j file is stored. If you installed APM Connect in the defualt location, then enter \APMConnect\Config\log4jproperties
- MANUAL_RUN: Enter true or false to determine whether or not the dates recorded in the context file will be used during extraction.
  
  Note: If the MANUAL_RUN parameter is set to true, the dates specified in the context file will be used. Additionally, the dates of the last successful run stored in the database will not be updated. If set to false, the date range used during the extraction will be the date of the last successful run, as stored in the database. Each time a Job is run successfully, the database is updated with those dates, and all subsequent runs will use the dates from the last successful run.
The context parameters are configured.
Repeat steps 1-3 for every imported Job you will run.
To configure the Master job to run, select the SAP_MASTER_INTERFACE Job.
At the bottom of the Job Conductor workspace, select Context parameters.

The Context parameters section appears, displaying the following parameters:
- RUN_STATIC_DATA: The Static Data Job
- RUN_EQUIPMENT: The Equipment Job
- RUN_FLOC: The Functional Location Job
- RUN_WORKHISTORY: The Work History Job
- RUN_WORKMANAGEMENT: The Work Management Job
- MASTER_CONFIG_FILE_DIR: The file path to context files for the jobs
- SYSTEM_TO_RUN: The source system from which you want to extract data
- RUN_TC_EQUIPMENT: The Equipment Technical Characteristic Job
- RUN_TC_FLOC: The Functional Location Technical Characteristics Job
For each extraction jobs you want to run, in the Custom value column enter true, and then select the Active check box.
In the MASTER_CONFIG_FILE_DIRCustom value box, enter the directory where the context file(s) is stored.
In the SYSTEM_TO_RUNCustom value box enter:
- The name of the system directory from which you want to extract data.
  
  -or-
- * to extract from all systems.
Press Enter.

The Jobs are configured to run.
