Defining SAP jobs
You must define some jobs to be able to run jobs on an SAP workstation from HCL Workload Automation.
To
define and manage jobs on an SAP workstation
from HCL Workload Automation,
you must define the following:
- Jobs in SAP that you want to run under HCL Workload Automation control
- You can define these jobs using standard SAP tools or using the Dynamic Workload Console.
- Jobs in HCL Workload Automation that correspond to the jobs in SAP
- The HCL Workload Automation job definitions are used in scheduling and defining dependencies, but the SAP jobs are actually run.
You can define SAP job definitions from the Dynamic Workload Console and
then have HCL Workload Automation launch
the jobs in SAP R/3 using jobs defined on the following workstations
that support the r3batch access method:
- An HCL Workload Automation extended agent workstation. A workstation that is hosted by a fault-tolerant agent or master workstation.
- A dynamic agent workstation.
- A dynamic pool.
- A z-centric workstation.
You can manage your SAP environment from both:
- An HCL Workload Automation distributed environment
- An IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS environment.
The SAP job definitions can reference the following
types of SAP jobs:
- Standard R/3
- Business Warehouse Process Chains
- Business Warehouse InfoPackages
