Is there anyone who is using FME scheduler to automate SAP jobs? Our company is using SAP ERP software and we want to automate SAP jobs. SAP has its own job scheduler but it lacks many advanced features we are looking for . Like we want the scheduler to run periodic jobs which can ran only on working days with different parameters and dependencies like the next job should start only after finishing the first job ; the second job should run after n +1 days after the first job etc... Some jobs will run on some days but it should have different run date like if it is running tonight , it should populate yesterdays' date as the job date.

Can anyone please let me know if FME server has these kind of advanced features to automate jobs?

Hi @rameshmohan, thanks for the question!

 

 

FME Server has quite a lot of capability in terms of scheduling and acting responsively to changes in other systems - as long as we can interact with them. Take a look at this article for an introduction to how a responsive FME Server can help automate workflows with schedules and publications.

 

 

Our documentation outlines the kinds of schedules it's possible to set up in FME Server. Since you can also have FME Server monitor the outcomes of scheduled jobs, schedules add yet another layer of responsiveness to your system.

 

 

Hope this helps!
