AE and its functions can be used in various ways in order to support processing in SAP. Job objects are the basis for defining statements which should be processed in the SAP system. The AE includes dedicated Job objects for SAP, with a form that provides a graphical interface that is connected to the SAP system, facilitating the definition of processing statements through the direct selection of data (e.g. variants). For more information, see SAP Jobs.
AE facilitates the execution of:
- Jobs (predefined Jobs in SAP)
- Reports (ABAP executable programs)
- External commands
- External programs
- Intercepted jobs
- etc.
The Process Monitoring shows task states. Tasks can be restarted or canceled if requested. Child processes are also displayed. When a task has ended in AE, you can access its report which also includes SAP system messages.
It is not only the Job object which facilitates processing in the SAP system. The object type RemoteTaskManager can also be used to monitor and start jobs in SAP. It is especially useful for intercepted jobs.
