Automate Schedule: SAP Background Processing Integration

Automate Schedule's SAP-certified interface allows you to schedule real-time, event-driven SAP tasks in response to critical business events—and do it using a central interface, on any web browser, from anywhere. The Automate Schedule SAP interface connects your SAP background processing to other jobs, processes, and events across multiple systems and applications for more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective enterprise scheduling. With Automate Schedule managing SAP tasks, staff will have better visibility and control over the background processing in your department, which reduces errors and costs for the entire team.

Simple Setup, Serious Solution

Automate Schedule can run your SAP jobs remotely or you can install an agent on one or more SAP servers to run local programs and commands. In both scenarios, Automate Schedule can:

  • Define/submit SAP jobs
  • Start SAP jobs based on outside events
  • Manage jobs intercepted on the SAP system
  • Group multiple SAP jobs (ABAP steps) and run them as a single job
  • Retrieve the SAP job log
  • Query variants in the SAP system
  • Modify SAP variants
  • Schedule SAP process chains
  • Run intercept jobs

Need more visibility and control into your SAP background processing?

Let Automate Schedule's powerful tools do the work for you:

  • Forecast Models—Forecasting helps you allot time for maintenance and outages within your current schedule. Automate Schedule’s Forecast Models show you what jobs are scheduled across all your servers, the day and time, what the dependencies are, and what the average run time has been based on job history.
  • Real-Time Activity Monitoring—A real-time view of all job scheduling activity makes it easy to spot exceptions, such as failed jobs and late starts. Plus, you have full control to edit on the fly.
  • Audit Reporting—Automate Schedule’s Audit History helps you reach compliance requirements by tracking who created a new job, who changed a job setup or commands, who forced a job to run outside its scheduled time, and more.
  • Role-Based Security—With a virtually limitless combination of security options, Automate Schedule makes it possible to secure functions by department, division, geographic location, or even customer.
