Access method for SAP

The SAP R/3 batch access method enables communication between an external SAP R/3 system and IBM Workload Scheduler and provides a single point of entry for automating the launching of jobs, monitoring the status of jobs and managing exceptions and recovery.

Using the SAP access method you can run and monitor SAP jobs from the IBM Workload Scheduler environment. These jobs can be run as part of a schedule or submitted for ad-hoc job processing. SAP extended agent or dynamic agent jobs can have all of the same dependencies and recovery options as other IBM Workload Scheduler jobs. SAP jobs must be defined in IBM Workload Scheduler to be run and managed in the IBM Workload Scheduler environment.

IBM Workload Scheduler provides a single and simplified point of planning, control and optimization of end-to-end production services across heterogeneous IT infrastructures. It enables you to control SAP operations from z/OS indifferently.
