Hello,

if I am not mistaken the first link contains the (Quick) Installation Guide and Administration Guide. These should contain all the information on how to install CPS (Java only) and how to configure it to access remote ABAP systems.

Hi Janardhan,

There is no specific step to start the CPS application as it should be started as soon as you deploy it.

Go to the URL: http://<hostname:5NN00/scheduler.

hostname is your solman hostname and NN is your java stack instance number.

Basically, URL is same as NWA url, except that last suffix is scheduler.

In case you are not able to open the URL, you can login to NWA-->configuration-->Infrastructure-->Application modules-->scheduler

You can search for scheduler application.

Now select the scheduler-->More Actions-->View Corresponding to Application

Now it will take you to start and stop Java applications view. Here, scheduler-ear should be in status started. If it is stopped, start it.

thanks

Hi Jana,

what is the URL to access your Netweaver administrator of your solution Manager system?

If you don't have this, please request the same from your basis team and report it here.

It should be something like, http://hostname:port/nwa

So in order to access the CPS, go to url, http://hostname:port/scheduler

There is no video i'm aware of right now, will reply if i find. The admin guide and install guides provided by Mr.Gerben have more than enough information for a successful installation.

Your basis team will be able to help you with that, come to think of it, it is a basis activity.

Just tell them, you need to install CPS add-on over the Java stack. They will deploy the SCA file.

you said, you have installed CPS, can you please share the system information screenshot of the java stack?

Also please note that, it is recommended to install CPS on a dedicated NW Java system, rather than with Solman or PI. This is because, if you have a maintenance for Solman/PI, it will affect the CPS Scheduling also.

Select the Scheduler , then click More options button on top and then click View Corresponding to Application

Now you will see scheduler-ear application (like below screenshot), make sure, it is started and running.

refer the SAP note 1421152 as mentioned, and edit the parameter in config tool.

This is to avoid out of memory issues when handling large DB transactions.

I had to apply this parameter (2 years back), when i was using M33.7 build of CPS.

that is a very very old build and has a lot of bugs, that can significantly affect the actual schedule (for example, holding all the queues simultaneously resets the scheduled start time of certain jobs). If you are in that build, it is highly recommended to update to  latest build M33.95 i guess not sure. See the SMP for latest build.

Hi Janardhan,

I assume you are using a recent browser, could you give me the details?

Also, in scheduler web application, you should see a blue icon with an "i", could you click on that and tell us the 'exact' version you see, my memory is failing, but this looks like m28.

CPS 8.0 is not the build version, that CPS version. Follow the step metioned to get the build version. See the screenshot below:

For your above question, go to Environment-->Process Server, right click SMD and click Start.

Queue should automatically start, if not right click and select release.

Hi Janardhan,

Ok, so you have set up an SAP system  and its process server does not start, this is sad.

You should see operator messages about this. You can access operator messages in the Monitoring section - they will contain the error message so we can figure out what is happening.

Did you test the connection on the SAP System editor screen? If not, navigrate to Environment > SAP Systems and edit SMD, on the first tab, you have a test connection button, does that work ? on the XBP tab, you also have a test connection, does that work, too ?

BTW, the version info is handy, because it might explain why you got responseXML errors. Note that, contrary to what I wrote previously, this is not M28, it looks like an M33 version, which is better ;-).

Hi Jana,

We are almost there, select 'SAP batch job definition', bottom right.

There, Select SMD as SAP system, select a client, fill in a SAP job name, look in sm37 for a specific job name, and submit this import wizard.

It will create a job definition that is linked to this SAP job.

You will be able to locate it by its name in Definitions > Job Definitions and submitting this will run the job in SAP.

What I also do when I show this is, go to SM36 in SAPGui, create a job I named Peter Pan, add a step that calls rsusr007, for example, I then set the start time to immediate and save it. I then go back to CPS and fill 'Peter Pan' into the job name field, that way I am sure it will be picked up.

Hi Jana,

Is there a <space> in front the Jobname field you provided? CPS doesn't accept <space> char for object names like job definiton, job chain definition, time windows.

You should provide a job name and it should not have any space characters.

Please provide a screenshot of parameters you gave as input for this job.

You can find it under parameters.

No, they will not get scheduled.

When you import, only job definitions get imported, not the schedule information.

So, you have to manually schedule each job.

If you are into coding, i think you develope a script to read the SAP tables TBTCR or TBTCS, and then submit the CPS jobs as per the schedule. Although you have to manually stop the jobs that are already running in SAP.

You don't need to manually create any RFCs. You just have to provide the information while creating the process server, CPS will create the RFCs whenever needed.

You will have to create RFC from SAP to CPS when you want to do Financial Closing or Solution Manager integration for Job Scheduling Management, otherwise no need.

Hello Jana,

Since CPS is very likely to orchestrate a lot of critical (business) processes in the (near) future I think it would be a good idea for you to attend a training on the subject or get a subject matter expert in to provide you with some best practises, hands on advice en knowledge transfer on what you actually try to achieve.

In your first post you raised the point: "We are going to install SAP CPS in my landscape". And in this whole thread I am still looking for the answer to a question: WHY! We can only help you if we understand why you are doing what you are doing.
