BatchMan Data Sheet
SAP-native job scheduling to automate, monitor, and control complex SAP end-to-end background processes — all with a familiar SAP look and feel.
BatchMan is a SAP-native job scheduling and automation solution that helps SAP teams automate, monitor, and control business-critical background processes directly from within SAP.
Running in the ABAP stack of SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, and RISE with SAP, BatchMan centrally controls SAP and non-SAP processes without separate hardware or additional software. The result is greater visibility, faster processing, fewer manual interventions, and more reliable execution across hybrid SAP system landscapes.

- Centrally control SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, and RISE with SAP processes.
- Monitor planned and running jobs in real time from a single point.
- Reduce manual effort with event-driven automation and alerting.
- Improve reliability with failover, switchover, and recovery capabilities.
- Govern access using SAP roles and authorization controls.
- Connect SAP and non-SAP systems for end-to-end process automation.
- Extend process control with SOAP services, REST, scripts, and file transfers.
