Collecting information necessary to start an SAP callback daemon or process

These tables display the variables needed to start an SAP callback daemon or process. All the variables in the tables are examples and will differ from the values that you specify, unless otherwise noted. These variables are grouped into two categories:

  1. SAP R/3 instance where the callback daemon logs on

    SAP R/3 instance where the callback daemon or process (sapcbd) logs on

    Variable Explanation
    MBS The three-character system name
    sap12 or /H/host/S/service/W/pass The host name or the SAProuter route string
    00 The instance ID
    Note: If you are starting multiple SAP callback daemons and SAP callback processes to run on different SAP application servers, you must make sure that there is a unique SAP R/3 instance (system name, host name, and instance ID) for each SAP callback userid as shown in Callback daemon or process user ID information.

    If you don't know what values you can specify for these variables, you can refer to the drop-down list for the Callback target field from the Spool Administration: Change Logical Output Management System window (for an example, see step 5 of Defining a logical output management system).

    A standard example of an SAProuter route string is /H/host/S/service/W/pass, where:

    • /H/host indicates the host name.
    • /S/service is used for specifying the service (port). It is an optional entry, the default value is 3299.
    • /W/password indicates the password for the connection between the predecessor and successor on the route; this is optional. The default value is “”, no password)

    To use the SAProuter, you need to install and configure SAProuter on your SAP system.

    The standard entries in a route permission table are P/S/D <source host> <dest host> <dest serv> <password>. The <source-host> and <dest-host> entries could be SAProuters.

    For more information about installing and configuring the SAProuter, go to the SAP Help Portal.

  2. Callback daemon or process user ID information

    You defined the information for Callback daemon or process user ID information when you did the step described in Defining an SAP user for the OMS callback daemon or process.

    Callback daemon or process user ID information

    Variable Explanation
    infoprint The User value. This value and the two that follow were originally defined when you created an SAP userid for the OMS callback daemon.
    030 The Client value
    newname The Password value
    En The Language value: in this example, English
    Note: If you are creating an SAP callback process on Windows, this value is not required.
