BatchMan SAP Workload Automation
SAP-Native Job Scheduling Orchestration
SAP job scheduling doesn’t have to be complex. Replace time-based SM36 and SM37 with BatchMan, an SAP-native job scheduler that automates, monitors, and simplifies business-critical background jobs across SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA environments.
SAP-Native Automation and Control with the
Familiar SAP Look and Feel
BatchMan automates and monitors business-critical processes directly from within SAP. Running in the ABAP stack of SAP ECC, SAP S/ 4HANA, and RISE with SAP, BatchMan securely controls SAP and non-SAP control processes without separate hardware or additional software.
The result is a seamless integration into existing SAP landscapes, with greater visibility, reliability, and control over hybrid business process automation.
