The automation program runs as a Java console program. The simplest way to run it is from a BAT file (Windows), or from a shell script (UNIX). See Sample Batch files and Shell scripts for samples that you can modify and use.
Notes:
On a windows client, automation files are installed in:
<SAS Install Directory>\SAS\SASProfitabilityManagementUtility\2.2\automationOn a UNIX server, automation files are installed in:
/<SAS Install Directory>/SAS/SASProfitabilityManagementUtility/2.2/automationIf you run the automation program from a .bat file or shell script, the .bat file or shell script should be in the same directory as the automation jar file.
If you run the automation program from the command line, your current directory should be directory containing the automation jar file.
The automation program takes the following required parameters:
| -server | specifies the full name or IP address of the metadata server. |
| -port | specifies the port number of the metadata server (usually 8561). |
| -user | specifies the Profitability Management user ID. |
| -password | specifies the password for the user. |
| -config | specifies the file name, or path and file name, of the XML configuration file that controls the operation being performed by the automation program: |
A log file, com.sas.profitability.client.automation.log, with details of the operation is written to the same directory in which the automation program, com.sas.solutions.profitability.client.automation.jar, is located.
The fact that the operation was performed, with a timestamp, is written to the audit log.
