Introduction

• The JITL SAPS4HANAJob and SAPS4HANAScheduleJob template implements an interface to the SAP Job Scheduling Service REST API.

...

• A 1:1 mapping applies between a JS7 job & schedule objects and the SAP job & schedule objects.
• SAPS4HANAJob
  • SAP jobs are created on-the-fly by the JS7 JITL job at the point in time of job execution. Accordingly an SAP schedule is created for job parameterization and for immediate one-time execution.
  • SAP jobs and schedules are removed after execution of the JS7 job.
• SAPS4HANAScheduleJob
  • Already configured SAP jobs with deactivated schedules are used as template. The schedules of the SAP jobs contains the job parameterization
  • SAP schedules are created on-the-fly by the JS7 JITL job at the point in time of job execution as copy of template schedules.
  • SAP schedules are removed after execution of the JS7 job.

Job Management

• Users can create any number of JS7 jobs and schedules based on the JITL SAPS4HANAJob or SAPS4HANAScheduleJob template.
• Such JS7 jobs can be used in the same workflow and in different workflows.
• A JS7 workflow can include a single job or any number of jobs and additional JS7 - Workflow Instructions.

...

• Network
  • JS7 jobs are executed with Agents. For use with SAP jobs the Agent requires an HTTP network connection to SAP S/4 HANA.

  • Network connections can be secured by HTTPS.

    Note
    SAP certificates have to made available to the Agent's truststore. Applicability of Mutual Authentication certificates has to be clarified.

• Starting Jobs
  • JS7 jobs are started from JS7 - Orders assigned the JS7 - Workflows that includes the jobs.
    • Orders are created from JS7 - Schedules, typically a few days ahead of execution and are added to the JS7 - Daily Plan.
    • Orders can be added manually from the JOC Cockpit and by use of the JS7 - REST Web Service API.
  • The start of the JS7 job indicates that the corresponding SAP job is running.
• Stopping Jobs
  • JS7 orders can be suspended and cancelled, optionally killing the running process of a job, e.g. by user intervention. For the JS7 JITL SAPS4HANAJob template and SAPS4HANAScheduleJob template when cancelling no kill option applies as SAP jobs cannot be killed.
• Parallelism
  • Any number of JS7 jobs based on the JITL SAPS4HANAJob and SAPS4HANAScheduleJob template can be executed at the same time.
  • Parallelism of JS7 jobs based on the JITL SAPS4HANAJob SAPS4HANAJob and SAPS4HANAScheduleJob template includes to run a number of job instances with the same Agent or with different Agents.
• Mutual Exclusion
  • JS7 offers JS7 - Resource Locks to limit parallel execution of specific jobs. This applies accordingly to jobs based on the JITL SAPS4HANAJob template and SAPS4HANAScheduleJob template.
