You can control the SAP Inventory Agent via the command line using a number of options.

This XML file can be exported from the System Landscape: name page in IT Asset Management (go to the SAP System Landscapes page (Data Collection > IT Assets Inventory Tasks > SAP System Landscapes) and double-click a system landscape name).
-e Encrypts passwords inside the file specified by the -c option.

Example: "SAPReader.exe -c <configuration_file> -e"

-s <server_name> Reads data from a specified system. To specify multiple systems, separate the systems with a comma, using the following format: <ServerName>/<SystemNumber>/<SystemID>/<ClientID>, <ServerName>/ <SystemNumber>/<SystemID>/<ClientID>

This option supports any string matching.

-t Reads SAP information in a single thread.
-a Tests the connection to all SAP Admin module and independent systems. To test the connection to a specific system, use the -a option in combination with the -s option.
