Job definition

A Control-M for SAP is an application plug-in that connects to an SAP server which enables you to define and monitor SAP jobs. You can define these jobs in the Job Properties Pane in Control-M.

Control-M for SAP consists of the following three job types:

• SAP R3. For more information, see Defining an SAP R3 job.
• SAP Business Warehouse. For more information, see SAP Business Warehouse job definition.
• SAP Data Archiving. For more information, see SAP Data Archiving job definition.

Control-M for SAP jobs are integrated with other Control-M jobs into a single scheduling environment. Control-M capabilities are available for Control-M for SAP, including advanced scheduling criteria, complex dependencies, quantitative and control resources, and variables.

To access the SAP Job Properties Pane, see Accessing the SAP job properties pane.

Job definition parameters in Control-M for SAP enable you to set values for the variables, as described in the Using Workload Automation. For a list of Control-M for SAP parameters, see Control-M for SAP parameters.
