This section provides a holistic view of all batch processing and job scheduling — both internal SAP background jobs (SM37) and external orchestration (AutoSys, CWA).
External scheduling data is not yet available. Pending either AutoSys API access or a JIL export to the External Job Scheduling Tracker.
Scheduling and batch job data will be auto-populated once SAP background job extraction (TBTCO/TBTCP via ADT) is run against the development systems and AutoSys metadata is available. Run python scripts/fetch_sap_background_jobs.py to extract SAP internal jobs.
Integration patterns will be populated when tower architects provide validated middleware and protocol details via the extended flow template.
TECHNOLOGY / PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE — Platforms (green) host applications (blue). Thick arrows show platform-to-platform integration flows.
Platform inventory will be populated when tower architects provide validated technology platform details via the extended flow template.
