        • Roles and responsibilities
        • Configuring user authorization (Security file)
        • Configuring the SAP environment

          You must configure the SAP environment before using the SAP access method.

        • Configuring the SAP access method

          This section provides detailed information about the SAP options file creation.

        • Defining SAP jobs

          You must define some jobs to be able to run jobs on an SAP workstation from IBM Workload Scheduler.

        • Defining SAP jobs dynamically

          This section describes how to create and submit SAP jobs dynamically without creating or referencing predefined job templates.

        • Defining conditions and criteria

          IBM Workload Scheduler accesses the Computer Center Management System (CCMS) Background Processing components of SAP systems through the BC-XBP interface to provide additional capabilities from the Dynamic Workload Console, one of those being the Criteria Manager.

        • Using the BDC Wait option

          By using the Batch Data Collector (BDC) Wait option, you can specify that a SAP job launched by IBM Workload Scheduler is not to be considered complete until all of its BDC sessions have completed.

        • Job interception and parent-child features

          This section describes how the job interception and parent-child features of BC-XBP 2.0 and 3.0 are supported by IBM Workload Scheduler.

          Business Information Warehouse (BIW) is a data warehouse solution tailored to SAP.

        • Job throttling feature

          Learn how the job throttling feature helps you to improve the efficiency of your scheduling on SAP systems and reduce the batch window for your SAP jobs to a minimum.

        • Exporting SAP factory calendars

          This section describes how to export SAP factory calendars into a file format that can be processed by the IBM Workload Scheduler composer command line, to add the exported calendar definitions to the IBM Workload Scheduler database.

          You can use IBM Workload Scheduler to monitor Intermediate Document (IDoc) records in SAP systems and forward events to the IBM Workload Scheduler event integration framework.

        • Defining event rules based on CCMS Monitoring Architecture alerts

          Use CCMS functions to check the performance of the various SAP system components, diagnose potential problems, and be alerted about error and warning conditions.

          • Business scenarios
            • Business scenario: defining an event rule to process alerts related to IDocs
            • Business scenario: defining an event rule to process alerts related to operating system
          • Creating event rules based on CCMS alerts
          • Getting alert status and committing alerts by an external task

            Learn how to get CCMS alert status and commit CCMS alerts.

          • Example of an event rule based on CCMS alerts
        • National Language support
