Robot/SCHEDULE SAP Interface
Manage
your SAP Schedule from your most reliable platform
We have extended the reach of Robot/SCHEDULE to
include the users of SAP, the widely used ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
package. That’s great news for the many SAP and existing Robot/SCHEDULE users
who requested this feature.
The interface allows Robot/SCHEDULE users to
schedule SAP processes on their iSeries systems. Robot/ SCHEDULE also can be
used to schedule SAP processes on Windows and UNIX systems.
You can run any SAP process with a
Robot/SCHEDULE SAP command. The command returns the status of the SAP process
and allows you to determine at each command level if a process ended normally
or abnormally. In addition, up to ten SAP processes can be run in a single job.
Run jobs with reactivity
to SAP processes
The SAP interface allows non-SAP processes to be dependent on SAP processes.
For example, use Robot/CLIENT to FTP data to your server, run the SAP inventory
process, and then use Robot/ALERT to e-mail the new inventory listing
automatically.
Simplify troubleshooting and SAP output handling
If an SAP process ends abnormally, you can quickly check for SAP error messages
on the iSeries by reviewing the OS/400 job log. Use Robot/ALERT to send an
e-mail or pager message to your SAP professional to correct the failure and
rerun the process.
The Robot/SCHEDULE SAP command allows you to
get spooled file output from SAP onto the iSeries output queue. You can view
these documents natively and process them through Robot/ REPORTS. Or, use
Robot/TRANSFORM, the OS/400 spooled file-to-PDF transformation package, to
convert them to PDF files, viewable on any platform. Robot/TRANSFORM preserves
electronic forms package graphics, bar codes, company logos, and so on.
New and existing Robot/SCHEDULE users benefit
If you’re a current Robot/SCHEDULE user, you’re accustomed to seeing highly
requested enhancements, such as commands to automate Lotus Domino maintenance
or the ability to display your entire job schedule on your PC, included in
Robot/SCHEDULE. The Robot/ SCHEDULE SAP interface is just one more dream come
true.
If you’re new to Robot/SCHEDULE, you’ll
enjoy the most comprehensive scheduling package available today. In addition to
handling all your SAP scheduling needs, Robot/SCHEDULE features exception
scheduling, cross-system reactive jobs, OPAL (OPerator Assistance Language),
fiscal calendars, complete job schedule automation, and countless more power
scheduling features not available with SAP’s scheduler.
