Introduction

The AE iViews for job scheduling supply current information about job scheduling to the SAP Enterprise Portal component of the SAP NetWeaver so that critical business processes can be started by end users.

Tasks can be started and monitored directly from the SAP Enterprise Portal. End users can start important processes and set the corresponding parameters if necessary. No knowledge about job scheduling is required. Each user can monitor the current status of the background processing via the SAP Enterprise Portal. Started processes are then managed and monitored by the Automation Engine. The current status is made available to the user via the iView technology.
