Control-M for SAP provides a complete and SAP-certified interface between the worlds of Control-M and the specific SAP environments.
Control-M for SAP enables you to manage both the traditional SAP, planned and automated processes, and the unpredicted real-time, event-driven dynamic job submission. The Control-M for SAP user interface is designed to be based on SAP native terminology, using a similar look and feel. This is to make the Control-M for SAP interface an easy-to-use tool for SAP users, and therefore minimize end-user training needs.
