Process Maintenance in BatchMan

Extensive options are available in job maintenance/process maintenance of BatchMan for defining criteria for scheduling and starting, calendars and resources.

With BatchMan, you can combine any number of cross-system jobs into one single process. Using the graphical modeling or list view in BatchMan, you can design your processes to meet your needs exactly. Scheduled time reserves are now redundant because dependencies are kept as modeled. This way BatchMan smoothly integrates into the look & feel of SAP and its usability.

BatchMan supports this by a separate change history and archiving and thus meets the criteria of modern compliance demands.

BatchMan will tell you with alerts and will give you options to fix in the event of a malfunction. For instance, you can fix an error in the system automatically via recovery jobs. This way the subsequent process remains untouched. You can set the criteria for behaving in the event of an error already in process planning to avoid manual interventions.

BatchMan Monitoring

Monitoring in BatchMan gives you a complete overview of your planned processes at any time. You can use BatchMan Monitoring to modify your job planning, get detailed information or jump to the graphical view.

Comprehensive reporting allows you to analyze your existing processes or to adjust them, as needed, using a mass change at any time.

Keep an eye on your processes in real time in the BM monitor. You have the opportunity to change your processes directly or calling detail information (log, runtime information, etc.). Go to the graphical view to call detail information by drill down here. From the monitor, you can analyze, fix, confirm and comment on errors.
