SP08 – Job Scheduling Management Key Innovations

1) Job requestor can use a simplified standard UI for requesting ABAP jobs (for direct scheduling
or external scheduler)
2) Job request can be integrated with external ticketing via BAdI
3) Job Management team can configure, which type of job will be scheduled directly into managed
system and which via external scheduler
4) Job Validations (naming, but also existence of similar job, existence of variant, user etc.) is
integrated into job request (with BAdI option to enhance validations to specific needs)
5) Job can be scheduled with time zone information into CPS (i.e. SMSE certified scheduler)
6) CPS job definition creation can be automated via BAdI from Job Scheduling UI
7) Excel based Job Document Mass Creation and Maintenance

Down-port via ZIP file to SP04 can be provided (chargeable 15 days effort)
