E. Glossary
This chapter explains JP1/AJS3 for EAP terminology, SAP system terminology, and other related specialized words.
A
- ABAP
-
Fourth-generation language used with the SAP system.
- ABAP program
-
Report program created with a fourth-generation language (ABAP). Used with the SAP system.
- application server
-
Server that executes a process from a machine running SAP front-end software.
- authorized user
-
User who is authorized to execute an SAP program (ABAP program or external program).
B
- background job
-
Job that is executed by the background processing function of the SAP system. In this manual, it is sometimes referred to as an SAP job or a job.
- BW - SCH interface
-
A SAP open interface used to control process chains in the SAP BW system from an external system.
- BW - STA interface
-
A SAP open interface used to control InfoPackage in the SAP BW system from an external system.
C
- custom job
-
Job that has a specific function (SAP job in the case of JP1/AJS3 for EAP) and is defined as a job that is executable by JP1/AJS. To use the JP1/AJS custom job function from JP1/AJS3 for EAP, the custom job component for the SAP system is required. The SAP system custom job component is automatically installed when JP1/AJS3 for EAP is installed.
E
- event
-
Specific event that occurs in the system.
For Windows, a JP1/AJS3 for EAP event that is displayed as an application log by the Windows Event Viewer administrative tool.
- extended password
-
Password that is extended in SAP NetWeaver 7.0. The password can be up to 40 bytes long. Alphabetic characters are case-sensitive.
- external management interface
-
A generic term for the open interfaces provided by SAP. These include the XBP, BW - STA, and BW - SCH interfaces.
- external program
-
General program (batch program or OS command) that can be executed by the SAP system.
I
J
- job
-
Unit of processing that is executed by the background processing function of the SAP system. In this manual, it is sometimes referred to as an SAP job or a background job.
- job count
-
Count assigned by the SAP system to a created job.
- job step
-
Element of a job. One job step consists of an ABAP program (or an external program).
- jobnet
-
A set of jobs whose execution order is defined. Jobs within the jobnet are automatically executed in a predefined order. The jobnet is a function provided by JP1/AJS.
- JP1/Automatic Job Management System (JP1/AJS)
-
JP1/AJS is a program for running jobs automatically. JP1/AJS enables you to execute processes in order routinely and to start process when a specific event occurs. After jobs are created, processes are executed automatically so that jobs are performed by regular personnel, or are performed by substitutes when the regular personnel are absent. In this way the job still gets accomplished.
- JP1/Base
-
JP1/Base is a program that provides the event service function. JP1/Base enables you to control the order of startup of services, and lets you send and receive JP1 events. JP1/Base is also a prerequisite program for JP1/IM, JP1/AJS, and JP1/Power Monitor. When a system using JP1/IM and JP1/AJS is implemented, JP1/Base provides the function for restricting of JP1 users' operations.
When JP1/IM and JP1/AJS system is introduced, JP1/Base provides the function for restricting of JP1 users' operations.
- JP1/IM
-
A program that centrally monitors a distributed system. You can monitor JP1 events that express information, such as job-processing status or trouble in the distributed system.
- JP1/Script
-
A program for making and executing scripts that control jobs. By using JP1/Script, you can implement a high-speed batch-processing execution environment in Windows.
P
R
- SAP client
-
Virtual user environment in the SAP system. In the SAP system, users and jobs are managed on an individual client basis.
- SAP destination information
-
Common argument for JP1/AJS3 for EAP commands. It is used for establishing a connection to the SAP system.
- SAP job
-
Job that is executed by the background processing function of the SAP system or the SAP BW system. In this manual, it is sometimes referred to as a background job or a job.
- SAP job log
-
Job log managed by the SAP system.
- SAP logon information
-
Common argument for JP1/AJS3 for EAP commands. It is used to specify user information for logging on to an SAP system.
- request number
-
Number assigned by the SAP BW system when InfoPackage is started.
S
- SAP BW client
-
Virtual user environment in the SAP BW system that is called a client. In the SAP BW system, users and jobs are managed on an individual client basis.
- SAP BW destination information
-
Common argument of JP1/AJS3 for EAP commands. It is used for establishing a connection to the SAP BW system.
- SAP BW logon information
-
Common argument of JP1/AJS3 for EAP commands. It is used to specify user information for logging on to a SAP BW system.
- SAP front-end software
-
SAP client software that requests processing from an application server.
T
X
- XBP interface
-
The XBP (eXternal Background Processing) interface is a SAP open interface used to control background jobs in the SAP system from an external system.
- XMI interface session
-
The XMI (eXternal Monitor Interface) interface session is an SAP system session that monitors and records access between an external system (system external to the SAP system) and an SAP system.
