Define the Command Name in SAP

Note: If you are not using a compression method during the extraction, then you can skip this procedure.

If you are using a compression option in the context file, you need to define the command name for the compression type you are using. There are two types of compressions for APM Connect SAPCAR and ZIP. You can only use one type of compression.

Note: It is recommended to use SAPCAR as your compression type.
