Maintain Compliant SAP Batch Job Management

SAP batch management is an area of interest to auditors. However, because this task lies outside the realm of SAP security administration most governance, risk, and compliance solutions ignore batch job management controls. ControlPanelGRC Batch Manager adds an extra level of control to enhance change management processes with:

• The forced use of background log-ons during batch job scheduling ensures traceability
• Workflow notifications provide a searchable audit trail detailing who requests and approves batch jobs
• Job documentation meets audit requirements with the inclusion of detailed job descriptions, owners, and monitoring requirements

Automated Workflow

ControlPanelGRC's robust workflow engine automates the process of getting the right information to the right people when it is needed. This ensures the appropriate batch job owner can review information and take action if issues arise. The workflow enables:

• Identification of long running jobs
• Routing of failed jobs (and related logs) to appropriate owners for review
• Routing of output from successful jobs to appropriate owners for review

Robust Monitoring and Reporting

Proactively monitoring for the completion of a scheduled job, as opposed to only its success or failure ensures that issues with time critical jobs are not missed due to other system problems. Batch Manager provides robust options for monitoring and reporting covering everything from outputting the batch schedule for documentation purposes to analyzing failed jobs in a given client or system.

Reduce Audit Preparation Time and Costs

Unlike other batch job automation software ControlPanelGRC Batch Manager is designed with compliance in mind. Its automated workflow embeds compliance into your processes and maintains appropriate documentation for audit review. The easily accessed reports and documents ensure that your organization is always audit ready, drastically reducing the costs of manually preparing for audits.

Reduce Administrative Burden

For organizations that rely heavily on batch jobs the process of SAP batch management is a time consuming administrative task generally left to the Basis team. ControlPanelGRC Batch Manager provides intuitive, configurable batch job scheduling, monitoring that saves valuable time, and allows teams to focus efforts on more important high value tasks.

Executive Dashboards

The executive dashboard provides an easily accessible snapshot of batch job executions over time, as well as detailing successful, canceled, or long running jobs. ControlPanelGRC Batch Manager also offers drill downs with detailed reporting on batch schedules and job histories.
