Job Scheduling Management vs SAP CPS

Hi Guys
I am trying to find out what are the differences between using the Job scheduling management tool in Solution manager and SAP CPS integrated into Solution manager. What are the benifits of using CPS as opposed to using the "standared" job scheduling tool.

Hello Santosh,
the link that you already got is good. Perhaps you also want to check out [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SM/FAQJobSchedulingManagement|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SM/FAQJobSchedulingManagement] and [SAP is first vendor to provide a comprehensive Job Management Suite |SAP is first vendor to provide a comprehensive Job Management Suite] for further information.
In short SAP CPS is an advanced scheduling tool like which competes against other like UC4, Control-M from BMC etc. But all these tools do not provide any real job documentation or job request functionality in order to get the process governance right. That's where the SolMan gets into the game.

Configuration Guide Job Scheduling Management with SAP Solution Manager

Dear Gurus
Could you please help me with the configuration guide of the Job Scheduling Management with SAP Solution Manager
Best Regards

Hello Luis,
the configuration activities can be accessed via the "Implementatiopn Guide" by calling transaction SPRO in your SAP Solution Manager system.
In SPRO navigate to -> SAP Solution Manager -> Scenario-Specific Settings -> Job Scheduling Management -> Standard Configuration and execute the following two activities.
1. Activate Solution Manager Services
2. Set Up Work Center for Job Scheduling Management
Make sure that your user has role SAP_SM_SCHEDULER_EXE (or_ADMIN) assigned.
Afterwards you should be able to access the Job Management Work Center and to create Job Documentation or to import Jobs from a Managed System into new Job Documentations.
The following SAP notes might be usefuly as well:
1054005 - FAQ on Job Scheduling Management

Job Schedule Management

Hi,
We recently upgraded our Sol Man system to EHP1 and we are in the process of Job Shedule Management. We imported few jobs from managed system and while monitoring ,getting error Business Proccess not created.
Could any one please tell me one thing, shall we need to setup Business Process Monitoring prior to setup Job Schedule Management? Please explain high level end to end Job Schedule Management steps.
Thanks & Regards
Srinivas.

Hi Srinivas,
please have a llok under https://service.sap.com/jsm to find further links to important SAP notes that explain a lot. You can also find iTutors about JSM under https://service.sap.com/rkt-solman.
Generally speaking BPMon is NO prerequisite for JSM. But as you probably saw during the import you have to assign your documented job either to a logical component (esp. meaningful for system related jobs like housekeeoing spool or dumps) or you assign to a business process step. An assignment to a logical component is a minimum requirement!
For a business process step assignment you need to maintain processes either in the project part or in the solution directory of SAP Solution Manager.
An active BPMon is only needed if you want to monitor background jobs and want to make use of the integration between JSM and BPMon.
You should also look for Blog and Forum entries of Martin Lauer in order to get further JSM insights.
By the way: If you should encounter some functional problems you can open an OSS message on SV-SMG-PSM.

JSM : Job Management in SAP Solution Manager - Questions ?

01. I want to use the job request process in SAP Solution Manager. Which
technical prerequisites need to be fulfilled to use this functionality ?
02. I am using a service desk other than the SAP Solution Manager service
desk. How can the job request information be forwarded to this service desk?
03. I want to create a job request via a link in your companyu2019s intranet. What
authorizations does my user need to create the job request?.
04. What is the consequence if i assign the job in your job documentation to a
logical component instead of a business process?
05 How can i configure the monitoring for a job scheduled with job
documentation?
Rgds

Hello,
you should have a look into SAP note 1054005 - "FAQ: Job Scheduling Management with SAP Solution Manager" for technical requirements. If the job doc is not assigned to a business process then BPMon cannot be used for the respective job.
All other questions should have been answered at [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SM/FAQJobSchedulingManagement|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SM/FAQJobSchedulingManagement]

Issue in SAP CPS for Job Interception

Issue in SAP CPS for Job Interception
Scenario:
After triggering a Process Chain in BW and maintaining the Job Interception settings in SAPCPS(Redwood)
(so that any job which triggers in BW by that Particular User is intercepted and not let it proceed further until the job is released in SAP CPS.)
Issue:
The Jobs are getting into Waiting status in SAP CPS(Redwood) even though there is no progress in loads in BW side. Also the Jobs are in Intercepted state even after releasing the Parent Job in SAP CPS(Redwood).
Please let us know how to go about it.

Hi Ramesh,
What you plan to do is called monitoring of process chains (ie. process chains not started from CPS) and this should be available in the latest version of CPS.
This requires the interception of only the BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER process, just as you have configured now, and other than that the following prerequisites:
SAP Note 1080558 describes the SP levels for the BW/BI releases
XBP 2.0 or higher
Redwood transport files must be loaded
ProcessServerService.SAP.XBPVariant license key
Maybe this helps,
Anton.

SAP tables that underlie job scheduler

Has anyone ever queried the tables that support the job scheduling system in SAP? I need to list each scheduled job name and the email recipients, where applicable, that receive the given job's output. Our company was recently sold, and our email address domain is changing, so numerous jobs need checked and changed. Having this ability would accelerate this process greatly.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
This may be a question for one of the ABAP forums.
The table is TBTCO. And the field is RECOBJKEY. You may need to do some debugging to figure out how to convert it back to an email address.
Cheers,
Ramki Maley.

Migration from UC4 to SAP CPS

All Experts,
Currently we are running UC4 for our batch scheduling requirements and are considering to migrate to SAP CPS.
We have around 10K+ jobs to be migrated from UC4 to SAP CPS.
Does SAP provide any migration tool for this? or we have to do it manually?
Kindly suggest any other vital information related to this topic.

Hello,
Migration services for migrating other scheduler solutions to SAP CPS automatically are available through Redwood Services, they have years of experience in this area. You can contact your account representative on the complete details.

How to schedule a job in SAP CPS

Hi,
I am new to SAP CPS.
So please tell how to schedule a job in SAP CPS. And which kind of job cam be schedule means BAP report.
Thanks
Anurodh

Hi,
In the installation and administration guide you'll probably find some examples.
The Job Definition you need is SAP_AbapRun to run any ABAP.
You submit this, specify the parameters as desired, and scheduling information, and that should do the trick.
That is assuming you have already connected CPS to an SAP system.
Check the topics in the docs within the product and on SDN on:
- Connecting to an SAP system
- Submitting Jobs
- SAP_AbapRun

Anton.

Scheduling job perodically vs schedule manager

Dear SAP expert
I would like to run the report fbl1n(PRogram RFITEMAP ) and email to users.
I have 2 option:-
1.Schedule the job periodically and email it through SM36.
2. customise the report in schedule manager in flow definition and email to users.
option 1 i am able to execute.
option 2 i am not fully through. Please clarify how option 2 can be done.
How i should decide pros and cons of schedule the job periodically through SM36 OR THROUGH SCHEDULE MANAGER
PLS CLARIFY
thanks

Job Scheduling in Solution Manager - Error creating Periodic Job

Hi all,
I am in the process of testing the Job Scheduling functionality using the Solution Manager. I have setup the criteria manager, ec. in the satellite system, and done the config in Solman as well.
I am able to successfully setup up a 'on-time' job.
it's only when I try to setup a periodic job, I end up getting following error
Any thoughts? Is there any piece of config that's missing? All the SICF services needed for this functionality are running fine.
Thanks for the help.

Hello,
This is the basic Job Scheduling functionality and not the Redwood Job scheduling, correct?
Have you performed the IMG Activiteis in SPRO?
See the following Help link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm70ehp1_sp23/helpdata/en/c5/7edcbd58ce4e29bc1baf1c4761d71f/frameset.htm
Change a job
You can change the scheduling of a job as long as it has not been completed. Proceed as follows:
Make changes.
Note
When you change a periodic job, the system searches for the changeable successor and only changes this successor.
If there is more than one changeable job with the same name, the system does not change any of these jobs.
End of the note.
Save your entries.
To release the job in the target system, select Release.
You go to the transaction SM37 in the target system.
You just may want to ensure HTTP Services have been enabled. I realize you said the services workin SICF, but this needs to be verified as 500 Internal Server Error most often means the HTTP services are not activated.

Paul
