You can access the OCS Cockpit from the SAP Easy Access menu by choosing Logistics Logistics Execution Direct Store Delivery Visit Control Occasionally Connected Scenario Cockpit (transaction code /EMSE/OCONTOUR). The solution is clearly mention in SAP Note 2687814 – Error “There is not signed manifest existing for OCS Package” in SPAM or SAINT. In client 000, go to transaction code SPAM or SAINT. We will be using SPAM for this example. From the top menu, click on Extras Settings.

The ocs.cfg file is used to configure / add configuration properties to CT-library applications. This guide will show you how you can use this file to alter your code without recompiling or changing it.

To configure an Open Client CT-Library application without changing the code you can use the ocs.cfg configuration file. This file can also add connection properties and help debug issues for specific applications. The ocs.cfg file sample is located in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/config/sample.cfg on unix and $Sybase$SYBASE_OCSinisample.cfg on windows.

; This is the default external configuration definition file. Feel free to add your own customizations.
;
[DEFAULT]
; This is the default section loaded by applications that use
; the external configuration (CS_EXTERNAL_CONFIG) feature, but
; which do not specify their own application name (CS_APPNAME).
; Initially this section is empty - defaults from all properties
; will be the same as earlier releases of Open Client libraries.
[ANSI_ESQL]
; This section defines configuration which an ANSI conforming
; ESQL application should use to get ANSI - defined behavior
; from SQL Servers and Open Client libraries. This set of
; configuration properties matches the set which earlier
; releases of ESQL (version 10.0.X) automatically set for
; applications during execution of a CONNECT statement.

Simple Explanation

Open Client applications check for the ocs.cfg file by default. The default location is in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/config/ocs.cfg. When this file is picked up it will look for the application name in brackets. The sample application above is ANSI_ESQL. If the application name is found the properties will be set for the application. This should overwrite the settings coded into the code.

If the application name is not specified by CS_APPNAME, then the default section is used.

However, if CS_APPNAME is used in the application and there is no entry in ocs.cfg file, the application will error and not function.
isql -Usa -Psybase -Sase
CS-LIBRARY error:
comn_get_cfg: user api layer: internal common library error: Configuration section isql not found.
CT-LIBRARY error:
ct_connect(): user api layer: external error: The connection failed because of invalid or missing external configuration data.

To add a default username and password to isql:
[isql]
CS_USERNAME = username
CS_PASSWORD = password

isql -Sredhead
1>
This will ignore/overwrite the -U and -P options:
isql -Uwrongusername -Pwrongpassword -Sboxname
1>

Debugging using ocs.cfg

You can use the ocs.cfg file to debug isql or other applications as well. For isql you can add an entry into ocs.cfg for debugging purposes.

isql --appname “isql_dbg_net
ocs.cfg
[isql_dbg_net]
CS_DEBUG = CS_DBG_NETWORK
