Best Practices for SAP Task Scheduling Beyond the CCMS
In a typical SAP system, most tasks are completed interactively.
However, resource-intensive tasks which
handle a large amount of data are generally handled by the Computing Center Management System
(CCMS).
The CCMS allows users to create and schedule background jobs on the SAP system, which then
run at off-peak times.
What are Enterprise Schedulers?
Task scheduling with the CCMS has its limitations.
The biggest constraining factor is the limited set of
available start conditions.
When creating a background job on the system, only one of these start
conditions may be chosen, and they cannot be combined with typical logical operators.
Fortunately,
SAP provides a generic interface known as XBP, which allows task scheduling software to connect with
an SAP system and schedule jobs externally.
Leveraging this interface, enterprise job scheduling software has been developed to provide the
flexibility and logic needed when scheduli
