Cisco Tidal Enterprise Adapter for SAP
Introduction to Enterprise Scheduling and Adapters
IT operations that focus on the automation of business processes involve integrating a wide range of
custom and enterprise applications and the infrastructure on which they run, often with complex
interdependencies. In such environments, IT typically uses job scheduling tools to control batch and on
demand event processing, which are vital to the success of a range of business operations from sales to
manufacturing to financial management.

Tidal Enterprise Scheduler has been defining standards for job scheduling
usability, scalability, and breadth of coverage. The role of the many Cisco adapters available for
Enterprise Scheduler is to make connectivity, control, and visibility of diverse technologies accessible
directly through the Enterprise Scheduler user interface. The breadth of coverage these adapters provide
simplifies end-to-end scheduling of processes across the enterprise.

Product Overview
Cisco Tidal Enterprise Adapter for SAP
Enterprise Adapter for SAP and Enterprise Scheduler work together to form a powerful SAP scheduling solution
designed for those who want the efficiency, visibility, and control offered by an enterprise-wide, heterogeneous job
automation solution. The adapter makes the process of scheduling SAP jobs simpler and readily accessible through
Enterprise Scheduler itself. SAP users can add this adapter to their Enterprise Scheduler solution and manage their
SAP jobs in the context of other enterprise jobs, leveraging powerful enterprise scheduling capabilities that include
exception-based management, scalability, role-based security, and enhanced manageability.

Enterprise Adapter for SAP provides users control over batch, ad hoc, and on demand jobs, and it ultimately helps
improve efficiency. The adapter enables users to increase the productivity gains of SAP jobs by setting dependencies
to and from other platforms and programs, including non-SAP applications and leading third party databases. This
means that all SAP jobs can now be part of larger business process workflows and can all be managed through a
single pane of glass. As a result, application automation, job management, and detailed reporting can be
consolidated under one enterprise-class solution that will increase staff productivity, decrease downtime, and
increase service level agreement (SLA) performance metrics.

How Enterprise Adapter for SAP Works
Enterprise Adapter for SAP interfaces to CCMS using SAP XBP technology. And it integrates with SAP Business
Information Warehouse (BW) and SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) using the InfoPackage and
Process Chain application program interfaces (APIs). Both interfaces are SAP-certified, meeting its rigid
specifications for integration and security.

The adapter uses an automated installation with customizable options to meet specific requirements. No scripting or
manual intervention is required, nor are changes to SAP instances. Once the adapter is configured, users can define
and maintain the details of SAP jobs from within the Enterprise Scheduler web-based management console.
Enterprise Scheduler can also launch and monitor jobs already created within SAP.
