The Redwood application enables companies to schedule realtime, event-driven jobs in response to critical business events and
to do it from a central location. Its central process-scheduling
functions can run independently, or they can be integrated
with existing SAP NetWeaver components (such as the SAP
NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure component or the SAP
Solution Manager application management solution) to
enhance business processes and provide additional background
processing functions.

Partner Ecosystem
As a platform vendor, SAP is obliged to openness. It uses a certification program to safeguard the integration of a wide range of
partner solutions. SAP Central Process Scheduling is integrated
with SAP NetWeaver using standards-based, open interfaces as
are all scheduling products that are certified on these interfaces.
Process-scheduling products from other vendors are positioned
as alternative solutions to the one offered by SAP.
SAPs strategy of openness, which enables partner products to
interact with both non-SAP and SAP solutions, boosts product
success. This success is confirmed by the large number of
customers who use certified products from other partners
together with SAP solutions. It goes without question, therefore,
that SAP will continue its close cooperation with partners. The
positioning of partner products their capabilities, proficiencies,
and unique selling points is the full responsibility of the partners.
What are the benefits of an open partner program when
SAP actively markets a partner solution?
Note: An Oracle database (Oracle9i or higher) is required for the jobscheduling repository. This database has to be licensed separately.
Support for further database platforms is currently in development.
First, a customer must have a valid license for either the basic or
full version of SAP Central Process Scheduling.
