The ANOW! Automate integration extends enterprise workload automation and orchestration to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, enabling comprehensive management of SAP jobs across cloud, on-premises, mainframe, and hybrid IT landscapes. It connects to SAP S/4HANA Cloud environments to orchestrate processes, manage job definitions, and collect spool files. This integration supports both direct and load-balanced connections, ensuring high availability and robust control over SAP operations.
The connection to SAP S/4HANA Cloud is facilitated by the ANOW! Automate Server and Agent, which communicate via the RFC protocol for traditional integrations and via HTTP/web services/OData calls for API-based interactions. The ANOW! Agent can be installed on any "Edge Node" with TCP/IP access to an SAP system, enabling it to list ABAP programs, manage variants, start, control, and intercept jobs, and collect spool files. This architecture allows for event-driven, scheduled, and on-demand job execution, providing dynamic control over SAP workloads.
This integration is designed for senior IT executives, IT operations managers, and business process owners in large enterprises, particularly those in financial services, manufacturing, and retail. It helps organizations facing modernization pressure, stringent compliance requirements (such as GDPR, MaRisk, and DORA), and skills shortages achieve seamless hybrid IT orchestration and measurable ROI by unifying complex SAP and non-SAP environments.
