The procedure describes the set up for managing events to watch and executing Control-M jobs in a specific order, and adding or removing active conditions based on events within the SAP system. This enables the integration of Control-M managed batch processes and flow events occurring with the SAP system.
To set up Event Watcher Management:
Ensure that the Extractor Management service (Windows) or process (UNIX) is running to use the SAP Event Based Scheduling functionality, as described in Extractor Management.
Only one Extractor Management service (Windows) or process (UNIX) can be running at the same time for each SAP system.
Before using the SAP Event Based Scheduling feature, you should go into your SAP system and ensure that all events in the event history have a status of Confirmed. This ensures that action items are not triggered by previous events when you use Event Watcher Management. SAP events that have a status of Confirmed do not trigger Control-M for SAP actions when using Event Watcher Management.
You must configure the event history in your SAP system prior to using the SAP Event Watcher Management, to ensure that events are displayed in the Event History. Use SAP transaction sm62 to add appropriate entries in the Criteria and Reorganization tabs. This specifies which events are included in the Event History.
Ensure you have the following Control-M/EM user permissions in CCM:
BROWSE: Enables you to view Event Watcher general configuration and rules.
UPDATE: Enables you to change Event Watcher general configuration and rules, and to clear Events from SAP system.
