Job Scheduling Management vs SAP CPS

[Former Member]

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 [ |] 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.

Hi Volker

Thanks for your response i found some helpful information. However i am a little confused now. if you have a look at this link it states

"There are different scheduling views available out of which the SAP CPS view is the most interesting one. Here you can maintain scheduling information in the same format as you would maintain if you created a job directly in the SAP Central Process Scheduling by Redwood, e.g. queues, time-windows or submit-frames defined in a connected SAP CPS can be chosen via F4-value help"

I am confused because i thought that SAP CPS and SAP CENTRAL PROCESS SCHEDULING BY REDWOOD is the same thing. anyways i am just trying to find out if it is at all possiable to actually schedule and monitor jobs via solution manager with out haveing CPS. and if so are the any license implications or restrictions.

Thanks
