Direct Call of the Allevo COPA Interface

SATxx_COPA

* Available from Allevo version 3.3

This constant serves to integrate the COPA interface in the Allevo main program, similar to FP or ProCED. When calling the function “Read reference data” or “Adopt plan data”, the Allevo COPA interface is automatically executed for the data of a defined satellite.

The constant name must contain the number of a satellite: e.g. SAT08_COPA, which is used in the COPA interface.

Activate the COPA interface via an entry in column Value from. The following options are available for selection:

· R or L activates reading data from COPA (triggered by function „Read reference data“).

· W or P activates planning via a COPA interface (executed by function „Adopt plan data“).

· X or number 1 in column Value from activates both functions (reading and writing).

An X in column Value to sets that only new or modified data records are processed by the COPA interface and is only effective during planning (corresponds to button „Only unmarked“ in the usual start screen of the COPA interface).

The COPA interface may optionally be executed in the background or via RFC: see ACTIVE_COPA_PARAM with corresponding controlling parameters.

Note:

Constant SATxx_COPA is displayed by the F4 selection aid for parameters but needs to be adjusted in the desired characteristic (e.g. SAT08_COPA). The constant may also be used repeatedly (for multiple satellites). As usual, the affected satellites must be activated via constant ACTIVE_SAT. On the side of the COPA interface, constant ALLEVO_ACTIVE must be active (with reference to the Allevo layout).
