JAMS SAP integration
SAP Job Scheduling and Batch Automation
JAMS Scheduler runs SAP background jobs, BW process chains, and BusinessObjects Data Services jobs in the same workflows as your Windows, SQL Server, and Linux jobs. An SAP job can wait on a job anywhere else in your environment, or start one.
Three SAP job types
SAPJobV2, SAPProcessChain, and SAPDataService
Works with
ECC 6.0 with EHP 7 or newer, NetWeaver 7.4 or newer
Separate SAP access
Run SAP jobs without a login to the SAP server
What JAMS Scheduler Runs in SAP
Pick the SAP job type when you create the job. Everything else about it, from schedules to dependencies to alerts, works like any other JAMS job.
How JAMS Scheduler Connects to SAP
You define the SAP server, client, and instance number once, as an SAP connection in the JAMS Connection Store. Every SAP job points at that connection, so a server change is one edit.
SAP jobs use the same access control lists as every other JAMS job, tied to your Active Directory users and groups. SAP credentials stay encrypted in JAMS under their own access control. That means an operator can run an SAP job without ever getting a login to the SAP server.

SAP Jobs in a Cross-Platform Workflow
An SAP job takes the same schedules, calendars, dependencies, and alerts as a Windows or Linux job. So a process chain can wait for a SQL Server load to finish, then hand off to a report and a file transfer.
When an SAP job fails, runs long, or misses its window, you get the same notification as any other job. Nobody has to watch SM37 to find out.
SAP FAQ
Can JAMS Scheduler run SAP BW process chains?
Yes. The SAPProcessChain execution method runs BW process chains as JAMS jobs. The job output includes the chain's log ID, and the JAMS log shows the chain's output.
Does someone need SAP access to run an SAP job in JAMS?
No. SAP credentials are stored in JAMS Scheduler, encrypted and protected by their own access control list. You can let someone run the job without giving them access to the SAP server.
Which SAP versions does JAMS Scheduler support?
The SAP execution methods need SAP ECC 6.0 with Enhancement Package 7 or newer, SAP NetWeaver 7.4 or newer, and a Unicode system.
