Planning Tasks 

Use

Task Planner can be defined as a time based planner used for triggering life cycle operations at specific points in time. For example: start SAP system CRM at 8:00 am daily.

A task can consist of one or several jobs (start / stop / relocate). You can schedule operations for adaptive-enabled and traditionally installed systems.

The key benefits of Task Planner include:

·        Tasks can be executed once or in an recurring mode

·        Existing tasks can be updated
