Procedure documentationCreating Job Chains for Multiple SAP Systems Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

The SAP jobs of a job chain require parameters, there are two parameter classes, scheduling parameters and job parameters.

Scheduling parameters define the status of the job chain at submit time, the queue and the priority of the job.

For SAP jobs, the queue defines the SAP System where the job runs, when the SAP System parameter is not set.
