We are looking at integrating the Vinizant Global ECS Job scheduler with SAP. We need to know how to start and monitor sap jobs and chains from unix level. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

That's just the problem they have no documentation for it. Need to talk to someone who has completed the integration. How do you on unix level without actually getting into the SAP GUI start and monitor SAP jobs?

There is no standard SAP tool to schedule jobs from the command line. A control program called sapxpg is used to execute external commands(which is scheduled internally). You can monitor the execution of external commands by setting up a trace for sapxpg and the data is written to the files dev_xpg(output of external command) and dev_cp(control program).

I suggest you contact the vendor of this external scheduler or check their documentation.
