6. 07.09.2012 Slide 6 What others say... “CCMS provides a lot of information …. but reporting and data aggregation are still hard to achieve. CCMS is also still SAP-application-centric”
“ERP vendors will not have the competency nor the interest to resolve the enterprise wide, production-class job-scheduling problem.Source: Gartner Group
Batch Scheduling is moving from time to event driven processing.Source: IDC

Eines der Werkzeuge im BW ist die Prozeßkette(n).
Man kann hier Prozesse unterschiedlichen Typs (z.B. Daten laden, Index Neuaufbau) verketten.
Die Prozeßkette ist somit etwas wie der UC4 Jobplan. Es fehlen allerdings die Steuernden Elemente (z.B. Was tun, wenn ein Prozeß abbricht, Kalender, ...).
Man kann aber in diese Prozeßketten auch normale ABAPs aufnehmen und das sogar SAP System übergeordnet !!
UC4 kann die Prozeßketten als Ganzes steuern: starten, überwachen, joblogs holen.
Nachteil: Prozeßketten müssen vordefiniert in BW vorhanden sein.Eines der Werkzeuge im BW ist die Prozeßkette(n).
