Automic Automation SAP Integration Suite Trigger IFlow jobs allow you to schedule and monitor jobs for any of the service instances that exist on the SAP Integration Suite Cockpit and are bound to an application.

This page includes the following:

Defining SAP Integration Suite Trigger IFlow Job Properties

On the TriggerIFlow Job page, you define the parameters relevant to starting the job on the SAP Integration Suite system.

(Click to expand)

Connection

Select the SAP Integration Suite Connection object containing the relevant information to connect to the SAP Integration Suite system.

To search for a Connection object, start typing its name to limit the list of the objects that match your input.
Payload Data Type

User either JSON or a file path for the file that contains JSON
- NONE (default)
  
  No JSON will be provided.
- JSON
  
  Use the JSON field to enter the JSON payload parameters you want to pass on in JSON format. Ensure you define the parameters required in your SAP Integration Suite environment, such as the Trigger IFlow job you want to start, the configuration parameters you want to pass while starting the job etc. For more information and examples of the JSON definition, see Defining the JSON.
- File Path
  
  Use the JSON File Path field to define the path to the JSON file containing the attributes that you want to pass to the application. Make sure that the file is available on the Agent machine (host).

Note:

The Pre-Process page allows you to define the settings of the SAP Integration Suite's Trigger IFlow Job using script statements. These statements are processed before the Scheduler Job is executed; see SAP Integration Suite Jobs: Setting Job Properties Through Scripts.

Defining the JSON

This section gives you examples of how you could define the JSON field when defining a Scheduler Job. You have different options available.

Simple JSON Definition

The first option to define the JSON field is a simple payload definition. To do so, make sure you define the parameters required to define the job, such as the source, name or execution type.

Using Variables

You can also use variables in the payload definition.

Example

In the JSON field, enter the following:

&JSON#

If the variable still needs to be defined, you must define it now. You do so on the Variables page of the Trigger IFlow Job definition:

When you execute the Job, the variable will be replaced with the value you have just defined. This is visible in the Agent log (PLOG); see Monitoring SAP Integration Suite Jobs.

SAP Integration Suite Trigger IFlow Job in a Workflow

You can also use the JSON field if you want to include a Trigger IFlow Job in a Workflow and use Automation Engine variables in it.

Example

A Workflow includes a Script object (SCRI) with the variable definition for the JSON parameters and a Trigger IFlow Job that includes the JSON variable:

(Click to expand)

When the Job is executed, the variable will be replaced with the value you have just defined. This is visible in the Activation report (ACT), see Monitoring SAP Integration Suite Jobs.
