Job Scheduling Service

Overview

The SAP Job Scheduling service facilitates the definition and management of jobs that can be configured to run either once or on a recurring schedule. This runtime-agnostic service is designed for scheduling action endpoints in applications or managing long-running processes through Cloud Foundry tasks. It provides REST APIs for scheduling jobs, including the asynchronous handling of long-running jobs.

The PowerConnect Cloud agent collects the job statuses, errors, runtime information and scheduling data.
