RISE with SAP

RISE with SAP is a comprehensive offering designed to help organizations optimize their SAP systems in the cloud. It combines SAP S/4HANA with cloud infrastructure, migration tools and technical managed services under a single contract. This simplifies the move to a cloud-based ERP model by consolidating licensing and service providers.

The offering promotes a clean core ERP strategy, encouraging organizations to minimize on-stack custom code and instead utilize the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) for extensions and integrations. Customers benefit from a predictable cost model, standardized updates and technical services provided by SAP to support operational continuity.

Key components typically include:

• SAP Cloud ERP: Available in both public and private editions
• Cloud infrastructure: Managed by SAP and hosted via leading hyperscaler providers
• SAP BTP: Used for custom development, integration and innovation
• Business process transformation: Access to tools like SAP Signavio for process discovery and readiness checks
• Migration tools and services: Resources to assist with the technical transition from legacy systems

The role of job scheduling in RISE with SAP

Efficient job scheduling is a critical operational requirement for continuously running and operating an SAP ERP system in the cloud. Transitioning ERP workloads to a managed cloud environment changes the fundamental way background jobs and batch processes are executed and governed.

Legacy scheduling tools often rely on “on-stack” agents that must be installed directly on the application server. However, the SAP Enterprise Cloud Services (ECS) model generally prohibits installing unmanaged third-party software within the managed SAP environment to ensure system stability and security.

Key reasons job scheduling is a challenge in RISE:

• Infrastructure restrictions: Traditional agent-based models may conflict with SAP’s managed service boundaries, requiring a modern, agentless or SAP-certified connection method.
• Clean core compliance: Using custom code or scripts to bridge automation gaps increases technical debt. A standardized orchestration layer ensures that extensions remain side-by-side rather than modified within the core.
• Hybrid orchestration: RISE environments rarely exist in isolation. High-volume processes often span across SAP Cloud ERP, BTP and non-SAP legacy systems, requiring a single point of control to maintain end-to-end visibility.
• Service-level agreement (SLA) protection: Unified scheduling avoids manual handoffs and delays in time-sensitive business cycles, such as the financial close, material requirements planning (MRP) and complex data replication tasks.

More About RISE with SAP

How RunMyJobs supports the RISE with SAP journey

RISE with SAP introduces a fundamentally different operating model for SAP systems. Because the environment is managed by SAP Enterprise Cloud Services (ECS), customers can’t install unmanaged third-party software or custom agents inside the application servers. This changes how background processing, orchestration and cross-system automation must be designed.

RunMyJobs is included in the RISE with SAP reference architecture as an external orchestration layer. Instead of running inside the ERP, it connects through SAP-managed services provided by ECS. Customers can, therefore, automate and coordinate SAP and non-SAP processes while staying within the operational and security boundaries of the RISE environment.

The way RunMyJobs connects to RISE supports SAP’s clean core strategy by keeping automation logic outside the ERP, reducing technical debt and simplifying upgrades. It also enables consistent control across hybrid landscapes, where RISE systems, BTP and non-SAP platforms must operate together as part of a single business process.
