Cloud Connector

SAP Cloud Connector (SCC) is a lightweight, secure bridge that links SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) applications with on-premises systems and services. Functioning as a secure communication bridge, the SAP Cloud Connector enables applications on SAP BTP to safely interact with secure, on-premises systems to enable hybrid cloud integration.

Cloud Connector plays a critical role in hybrid SAP environments by enforcing fine-grained access policies, supporting trusted system configurations and enabling zero-trust architectures. Administrators can define which backend systems are exposed, which resources can be accessed and which users or applications have permissions. Its tight integration with BTP makes it foundational for scenarios like hybrid app development, workload automation, API management and analytics orchestration.

Bridge SAP BTP with on-premises systems for secure connectivity

SAP Cloud Connector enables a wide range of hybrid integration scenarios, from secure API calls between cloud and on-premises systems to orchestrating automated processes that rely on legacy environments, without compromising internal security.

• SAP BTP-to-on-premises: Cloud applications can query real-time data from internal systems, enhancing analytics, automation or mobile app experiences.
• Workload automation via RunMyJobs by Redwood: RunMyJobs uses SAP Cloud Connector to trigger or monitor SAP jobs, reports or workflows that reside on on-premises systems, ensuring hybrid orchestration.
• Hybrid cloud integrations: Enterprises using both SAP and third-party tools can centralize integrations across cloud and on-premises systems without worrying about VPN complexity or risky network exposure.

How Cloud Connector enables automation

Cloud Connector establishes the approved communication path between BTP and internal systems. A workload automation platform like RunMyJobs uses that connection to:

• Trigger SAP Application Jobs and process chains from the cloud
• Run hybrid workflows without new inbound firewall openings in most implementations
• Apply governance, service-level agreements (SLAs) and audit trails to cross-system execution

RunMyJobs’ role in hybrid SAP connectivity

RunMyJobs complements SAP Cloud Connector by providing the orchestration layer that coordinates jobs across SAP cloud services and on-premises systems. Instead of adding scripts or custom network routes, RunMyJobs uses the connector’s approved pathways to trigger, monitor and govern SAP workloads centrally. This keeps automation outside the ERP core, aligns with RISE with SAP deployment expectations and gives teams a consistent model for scaling hybrid processes without re-engineering infrastructure.

Achieve secure hybrid automation with Cloud Connector and RunMyJobs

Use SAP Cloud Connector as the secure on-premises-to-cloud bridge and RunMyJobs as the orchestration layer to run, control and audit hybrid jobs. The result: secure, least-privilege connectivity, centralized job visibility and RISE with SAP-compatible deployment patterns for rapid, trusted automation.

• Security-first: Enforce least-privilege access with Cloud Connector, while RunMyJobs adds role-based access control (RBAC) and execution governance.
• Compliance-friendly: Support data residency, audit and regulatory requirements by keeping sensitive systems inside your firewall but still enabling tightly controlled workflows.
• Zero-trust architecture: Rely on outbound-only, authenticated connections from Cloud Connector and RunMyJobs so every request is verified, logged and scoped to approved services.
• Hybrid flexibility: Run end-to-end processes that span BTP, on-premises SAP systems and third-party applications, all through a single, consistent automation pattern.
• Centralized control: Define, monitor and adjust all cloud-to-on-premises connections and related jobs from one place, instead of juggling scripts and siloed schedulers.
• Faster time-to-value: Activate new hybrid automation scenarios quickly, without long network projects, custom tunnels or firewall exceptions slowing down your SAP initiatives.
