Application Jobs in Process Management

During a process phase, you may want to run application jobs that perform a planning action for that specific
phase. If you don’t want to trigger these application jobs manually, you can configure your process step to
automatically run them upon the start or end of the step.

Typically, you schedule application jobs to run on specific dates. However, if used in process management, you
can also schedule them to start when an event occurs, meaning that the process step starts or ends. This allows
you to better coordinate the various application jobs that you want to run during the process.

You can assign an application job template to the start or end of a process step. When the process step is started
or ended manually or through automation, an application job based on this application job template is
automatically triggered.

Note

You can only assign application job templates you have access to.

The process owner needs to have specific authorizations so application jobs can be run in the process. For more
information, see Process Roles and Authorizations.

For application jobs, the permission filter of the process owner is used, that is, if an assigned application job is
triggered, the process owner’s permission filter is applied to the data being processed. Whether an application
job for a planning operator applies the user's permission filter depends on the type of planning operator.

Note

The system automatically triggers the application job when the start or end condition is met. By default, this
happens every 30 minutes. The interval at which the system checks if this condition is met can be configured to
reduce waiting time. For more information, see Timing in Process Automation.

You can assign an application job template that is to run the statistical forecast to the start of the sales and
demand review step. After the step is started, an application job that is based on the assigned application job
template is triggered and calculates the statistical forecast that is required for the sales and demand review.

Monitoring
You can monitor the status of the application jobs in the Application Logs app and in the process chart on your
dashboard.
