Product information "Batchman Integration"
The Universal Task for BatchMan provides an integration between Universal Automation Center (UAC) and Honico BatchMan, enabling unified scheduling, automated job and net execution, and centralized monitoring of Honico BatchMan jobs within Universal Automation Center.
This solution provides a secure and scalable interface for hybrid workflow automation, allowing customers to continue leveraging BatchMan for SAP job scheduling while orchestrating end-to-end workflows that include both SAP and non-SAP tasks within UAC. The use of SAP Enterprise Services ensures a standardized, maintainable, and vendor-supported integration with SAP systems.
The Universal Task integrates with SAP BatchMan by invoking RFC-enabled BatchMan function modules exposed as SOAP web services. These function modules are published as Enterprise Services using SAP’s Web Service Framework (SOAMANAGER). The Universal Task securely calls these function modules to control and manage BatchMan-configured SAP jobs and nets.
Note:
This approach requires only the activation and configuration of the relevant Enterprise Services in SOAMANAGER on the customer’s SAP system; no transport is required.
