Change extension of spool file for SAP jobs

Products

• Workload Automation Agent

Issue/Introduction

Is there a way to configure spool recipient extension agent side?

When we run the job through ESP, the spool report defaults to a .cyb extension.

Environment

Workload Automation Agent : 12.1 or above

Resolution

You can change the extension to anything.  Put this parameter in the agentparm.txt:

sap.spool.recip_file_ext=<your_extension>

E.g.
sap.spool.recip_file_ext=CSV

 

Note:

• csv: This will attach the output in CSV format to the email.
• xlsx: This will embed the spool output directly into the body of the email..
• cyb: Files with this extension can be opened using any text editor.

Default: CYB
