Many SAP customers rely on traditional tools to schedule background jobs and manage workflows. These tools might include:
- SAP SM36/SM37
- SAP Business Process Automation (BPA) by Redwood
- SAP Central Process Scheduling (CPS) by Redwood
- SAP Solution Manager
Not only are some of these solutions now end-of-life, but they mainly focus on SAP-specific jobs like ABAP reports. They lack event-based scheduling and have minimal workflow capabilities, which can make it challenging to update and troubleshoot when failures occur.
To achieve full visibility, accessibility, and observability across your entire IT landscape, you need to integrate SAP job scheduling with an enterprise-grade service orchestration and automation platform (SOAP).
Stonebranch takes this future-ready approach with Universal Automation Center (UAC). UAC empowers you to enhance or fully replace outdated tools, delivering next-generation power to modernize your SAP scheduling and unify workload automation across hybrid environments.
