As of SAP NetWeaver ’04, there is a Job Scheduler available for landscape-wide background processing in addition to the traditional local SAP background processing (transactions SM36/SM37).
For administration information about the landscape-wide Job Scheduler, see SAP Service Marketplace under the quick link /job-scheduling (http://service.sap.com/job-scheduling) .
The Literature and Brochures folder also contains FAQs (FAQ: Job Scheduling Capabilities of SAP NetWeaver) and the Quick Installation Guide.
