Overview

Using SAS Data Integration Studio or SAS IT Resource Management

This chapter describes the SAS IT Resource Management jobs that are provided with the SAS IT Resource Management Adapter for SAP. The SAS IT Resource Management jobs require customization so that they reference the SAP servers.
Note: References to the SAS IT Resource Management client in this document pertain to the use of SAS Data Integration Studio with ITRM plug-ins. These plug-ins are not specifically required for the SAS IT Resource Management Adapter for SAP tasks and jobs. In other words, you can use either the SAS Data Integration Studio client or the SAS IT Resource Management client to perform the tasks and work with the jobs that are referenced in this document.

Job Naming Conventions

The jobs use the following naming conventions:
  • Ordering Jobs: A job has a numeric prefix that indicates its order of execution. A job with a lower number is executed before a job with a higher number. The display order of the job is the same as its execution order. Numbering between jobs is not contiguous so that additional jobs can be added between two existing jobs.
  • Internal Jobs: An internal job is submitted from within another job (using a LOOP construct). It has a two-part prefix, separated by an underscore. The first part of the prefix refers to the calling job, and the second part refers to the individual internal job. For example, the prefix 0020_10 refers to an internal job that is called by the job with the prefix 0020. Internal jobs are grouped in subfolders. Internal jobs cannot be executed independently because the parameters set up by the calling job are not available.
  • Alternative Jobs: When there is more than one job that achieves the same results, an additional alphabetic character is added to the prefix. For example, 0010A and 0010B are alternative jobs. That is, only one of these two jobs is required.
