Importing SAP CCMS Jobs

The SAP Computer Center Management System (CCMS) is part of an SAP solution that provides common functionality such as user management, monitoring and background jobs. You have previously submitted background jobs in SAP via transaction SM36 and want these jobs to be controlled by SAP CPS. You can import CCMS job steps as separate job definitions or just have the job chains use the SAP_AbapRun job definition; the latter keeps the number of job definitions in SAP CPS low and allows you have a better overview. The downside is that you cannot easily schedule a step on its own without filling in the parameters yourself or submitting the job chain with steps disabled.

When multiple conflicting jobs match your search criteria, the latest job matching the search criteria will be imported.

Note Note

You may be restricted to connecting to a single SAP client/instance combination from within SAP CPS at any given time; this depends on the value of the ProcessServerService.SAP.limit key in your license and your privileges. If this is the case, please make sure you are in the correct isolation group, corresponding to the SAP client/instance combination where you submitted the jobs initially.

End of the note.
