Creating the IBM Workload Scheduler RFC user

For IBM Workload Scheduler to communicate with SAP, you must create a user ID in SAP for IBM Workload Scheduler batch processing. For security reasons, use a new user ID rather than an existing one.

  1. Create a new RFC user ID.
  2. Give this new RFC user ID the following attributes:
    • A user type of CPIC, Communications, or DIALOG, depending on the SAP release.
    • A password at least six characters in length. IBM Workload Scheduler requires this password to start or monitor SAP jobs. If this password changes in SAP, you must update the options file used by r3batch with the new password.
    • The appropriate security profiles, depending on your version of SAP.
