Command: massUsers
Category: Mass Operations

Description ​

Create up to 50 database users in bulk for development and training environments. This command automatically generates user accounts with sequential naming, email addresses, and configurable passwords—ideal for workshop environments, development labs, and testing scenarios.

Use Cases ​

User Generation Pattern ​

  • Naming Convention: Users are created as [PREFIX]_[NUMBER] (e.g., DBADMIN_01, DBADMIN_02)
  • Count: Generates exactly 50 users per execution
  • Email Addresses: Automatically assigned as [USERNAME]@sap.com
  • Password: Shared initial password for all created users
  • Configuration: Each user configured with CLIENT='001', WebIDE, and XS Controller parameters
