Empowering SAP Solution Manager with IBM Workload Scheduler

IBM Workload Scheduler and SAP Solution Manager are integrated so that IBM Workload Scheduler is the engine that actually runs the job scheduling tasks available from the Solution Manager user interface. This integration is provided by the SMSE Adapter that runs in the master domain manager. The SMSE Adapter uses the SAP Solution Manager Scheduling Enabler (SMSE) interface provided by SAP to enable external schedulers to run the scheduling for Solution Manager. With this integration, when you schedule a job from the Scheduling panel of Solution Manager, IBM Workload Scheduler takes charge of the job scheduling, monitoring, and management tasks, as well as of job triggering and notification. Under these conditions IBM Workload Scheduler acts as an RFC-Server with a common interface for scheduling jobs. It is identified through an RFC-Destination registered in the SMSE.
