 Integration with Solution Documentation

 

Job Scheduling Management is integrated with Solution Documentation.

From Solution Administration (transaction SLAN), you can create new job documentation (or choose existing job documentation) and assign it to a solution documentation library context as an external object. The job documentation must be created in the library of a specified branch; then it can refer to other places (library steps or E2E elements). You can also display job documentation attributes, change job documentation, and create new versions.

You can also assign solution documentation and process elements on the Systems Tab Page of job documentation.

Prerequisites

Solution documentation has been implemented for your process landscape.

Procedure

Creating/Assigning Job Documentation from Solution Administration

For the create case, fill in all mandatory fields and some important but optional fields to create simple, basic job documentation.

For the assign case, you assign existing job documentation that is not linked with any other solution documentation context. (Job documentation that is linked to another branch is not selectable.)

  1. From Solution Administration (transaction SLAN), open the solution documentation of a branch.

  2. Select an ACH (Application Component Hierarchy) folder from the Executable library.

  3. Use the context menu (right-click) to create or assign job documentation.

  4. A dialog appears for creating and assigning cases. Note that there is a read-only Logical Component Group field in the window whose value comes from the parent ACH folder element.

    In the create case, complete all mandatory fields and save.

    In the assign case, select an existing job documentation using the value help, and save.

The job documentation is assigned to the specified solution documentation element.

Displaying Job Documentation Attributes from Solution Administration

You can view job documentation attributes in solution documentation. The attribute list is predefined in the solution documentation model.

When you select a job documentation in solution documentation, an attribute panel is displayed on the right. Read-only fields display attributes maintained in job management. Editable fields display attributes maintained in solution documentation (from the Executable library).

Changing Job Documentation in Solution Administration

You can display or change existing job documentation from solution documentation.

When you edit job documentation, depending on the solution documentation lifecycle mechanism, you may be asked whether to create a new version for further modifications. If yes, the newly created job documentation version is linked with the corresponding solution documentation element. If no, changes are made on current opened job documentation version.

  1. In solution documentation, right-click on the job documentation and choose Display or Change.

  2. In the confirmation dialog, choose OK to create a new version and replace the current job documentation of the solution documentation element. Choose cancel to make changes on the current job documentation.

Assigning the Process Landscape in Job Documentation

In the Job Management work center, you can assign a solution documentation context on the Systems tab page of job documentation.

You can only assign one solution documentation library context, but multiple process elements. Assign the job documentation to a specific element in the library first, then assign the relevant process elements.

After the solution documentation context is assigned to the job documentation, you can access the job documentation from the solution documentation as well as from the Job Management work center.
