Robust Event Monitoring and Alert Notifications – Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for SAP
BusinessObjects is event‐based. It launches processes based on defined calendars, schedules, or event
triggers and provides thorough monitoring, enabling users to see status changes in real time and to control
those processes as they execute.
The adapter notifies users via email or other alerting mechanisms when new content from reports or SAP
BusinessObjects Web Intelligence is available. When a job is complete, output can be attached or, for greater
security, can be referenced through a hyperlink, requiring that users present credentials before being able to
access information. Trace logs give IT staff the ability to determine where an execution failed, whether
execution steps occurred in the expected order, and which parts of the execution took the most time to run.
Seamless Support for Ad Hoc and Scheduled Jobs – Business managers frequently make ad hoc BI
requests that must be run immediately. Gradually, these jobs are reused and fall into predictable patterns. For
efficiency, they should be organized into calendars or schedules. With Cisco Workload Automation and the
Adapter for SAP BusinessObjects, these ad hoc jobs can be easily transitioned into standard production runs,
eliminating manual intervention in the scheduling process. In addition, because this solution offers a single point
of control for all enterprise-wide job scheduled and processes, it simplifies adherence to prescribed policies and
allows IT operations staff to seamlessly incorporate SAP BusinessObjects workflows into established schedule
updates.
Enterprise-wide Coverage – Cisco Workload Automation and the Adapter for SAP BusinessObjects support
cross- application, cross-platform job dependencies, enabling integration of a wide variety of SAP jobs into other
data flows.
Single Web-portal Interface – The solution offers a single point of control for company-wide job scheduling
through its portable, browser-based interface. It delivers robust and scalable scheduling functionality, including
integrated job definitions and seamless handling of events, dependencies, resources, calendars, and output. It
also provides exception-based control and role-based security. In addition, its intuitive graphical interface
requires no scripting. Ultimately, this solution can accelerate ROI by increasing efficiency, as well as reducing
errors and issues, through better automation and process visibility.
Cisco/SAP Partner Integration
Workload Automation is part of the SAP BusinessObjects Partner program, the only job scheduling solution to
have earned this close relationship with SAP BusinessObjects.
