Description

The variable is supplied in the client 0000. Settings made in it apply to the whole AE system.

The predetermined setting for the validity key is "Host - each host name" whose entries contain agent names. The appropriate connection specifications which are identified by the agent itself are listed in the column Value. Both information types are especially important to make full use of the Form tab's functionality of PeopleSoft jobs.

A connection to the particular Enterprise Business Solution can be established when these jobs are opened. The required data is determined by the selected agent (Attributes tab) and the corresponding entry in the variable. In the Form tab, script elements and their different parameters can easily be entered using ready-made forms. Particular values can be taken from the Enterprise Business Solution. If this is possible, the symbol is available next to the control field which can be used to access the existing data in table-form.

If the agent should not retrieve the connection string automatically, you can specify your preferred one with the parameter UC_EX_ERP_CONNECT in the INI file.
