SAP Solution Manager Job Scheduler Adapter

Integrate SAP schedule change management

Integrate Tidal with Solution Manager for accurate control of SAP schedule changes

Process SAP schedule changes made in Tidal through Solution Manager approvals prior to execution in SAP

Support compliance requirements with comprehensive audit logs of what changes occur in your SAP processes

Easily Manage Job Schedule Changes

SAP Solution Manager is the central point of control for changes in your SAP ecosystem, including changes to SAP jobs and processes. As you promote schedule changes through stages of the lifecycle, Tidal’s Solution Manager integration supports your change management processes across your SAP systems.

Tidal’s integration provides checks and balances between the Tidal platform and Solution Manager to ensure SAP business processes run as expected and schedule changes don’t produce unanticipated results.

Through the integration, the Tidal platform:

Goes to Solution Manager to get ERP jobs and capture any changes to schedules.
Pushes changes to SAP schedules made in Tidal to Solution Manager for routing and approval prior to execution in the SAP environment.

These communications between Tidal and Solution Manager improve the visibility into the potential impact of SAP changes. Approvers can see dependencies that exist at any point in the workflow, not just within SAP. Before making a decision or initiating action, they can anticipate how a change to an SAP schedule could affect downstream processing.

To support compliance requirements, Tidal’s comprehensive audit logs demonstrate that you have the right controls for process and system changes.

Like all Tidal adapters, our adapter for Solution Manager is ready-to-run for seamless integration without scripting.
