HI We use the Redwood Workload Automation in your organization for scheduling the SAP background jobs. Generally we can use the scheduling background jobs with sap application. But in SAP application level we don't have more options when compared with redwood automation. By using redwood automation tools we can keep many conditions like weekly, hourly, events , monthly.
  • Compared sap, If you schedule the jobs in redwood automation, it will take very less time with minimum steps.
  • The Redwood automation tool is user friendly.
  • It is very helpful to suspend background jobs during OS patching.
  • During day light saving, we need to change the date and time manually. If it can be automatically change based day light saving , very helpful for sap support team.
  • The tool should be extended, as it has lot of options, it is easy to deploy, manage. Integrate with Incident Management tools.
  • The Redwood Software can be a little difficult. So please try make as simple as possible.
I can say no others tools in the market to have such user friendly options in redwood. It will also very helpful to decrease the man power to monitor the jobs. So once we configure the redwood, most of the work will handle by redwood automation tool with out human resource. Thank so you much for designing redwood tool :).

In the Redwood tool we can triggered out jobs as per the business/client requirements. The main thing of this tools is very user-friendly because there is no coding and scripting need to be written. We can easily perform all the things which is predefined in this tool.
There is a pre-defined tab like alerting, application, environment, promotion and configuration.
In Redwood workload automation there is 5 most used action which is commonly used New, Edit, Delete, Export and refresh.
We can easily connect Redwood Workload Automation to SAP ABAP, Java, Oracle Application and People soft.
  • Exporting of jobs from one environment to other environment.
  • Easily creation, deletion and monitoring of the jobs.
  • We can easily schedule the alerting system which notified us for any failure of jobs.
  • Less coding and scripting
  • A dashboard for checking the overall health of the tool
  • Direct excel export option is unavailable to transport the jobs.
  • Mobile notification is also helpful for those user who worked in 24*7 shift. if this option will available it is very useful for those user who needs to check system again and again
For scheduling the jobs and monitoring purpose there is no comparison in the market of Redwood tools.
Because everything is almost present in this tools at the very suitable price. According to me the most like scenario is the transportation of jobs as well as easy creation. I hope redwood will provide more options in future for users.

It's a great scheduling tool that is easy to understand and operate. The structural diagram of the complex workflows really looks clear when we see the overall picture in Redwood . We can control a complex workflow with simple events, which makes life easier. It's excellent automation I would recommend it for any business. Also, hats off to the Redwood team, and whenever there is an issue, the Redwood team tries their best to resolve the issue for their customers.
  • Jobs can be scheduled as per requirements
  • There won't be any memory outage issue.
  • The tool is supported by all the browsers
  • There are few small things which support team needs to look into many a times when I download report it gets downloaded in .CAR file so its difficult to convert to excel file.
  • Can add additional default time windows, and submit frames which helps in scheduling the batch job as per customer/business requirements.
It is easy to navigate and simple to work. Redwood is more fully automated than any other tool in Batch scheduling. The newly created dashboard is beneficial when any jobs are skipped from schedules.

Redwood is an automation tool that has some superb cool features like the Run my job feature that helps us in automating the job, scheduling, and event-driven processes. It also does help in managing files, data transfer, and orchestrates across the application and other tools such as RPA(Robotic Process and Automation. The load balancing through nodes can restrict the number of jobs running simultaneously by entering the execution size limit in ECC queue.
  • Redwood can manage a huge number of job workflow process
  • The software is supported in almost all the browsers unlike others
  • The report can be taken on a daily basis so that we can track all the jobs which are in the process
  • There are very less cons comparatively, it would improve support in ServiceNow by adding additional features such as adding the groups.
  • The Redwood has fewer resources for learning so if they publish some more articles it would be in great position.
In Redwood the code written is very low and it is one of the core business advantage. Industries like manufacturing, retail, utility and biotech and hospitality use this software. We have a total control on the jobs that are running and we have a feature of load balancing through nodes which can restrict job running in parallel by entering size limit in ECC queue. This software is very handy to use and has minimal supervision in running. The UI feels fresh and legible which makes it use easily.

  • Scheduling jobs makes it easier
  • No setup fee
  • Good value for price
  • The chain editor needs refinement
  • Lack of helpful documentation

Good for multiple job scheduling options, we could also set limit for background jons to run parallel.

Redwood Workload Automation includes documentation for every single thing, including job definitions, reports, monitoring dashboards, etc. Redwood Workload Automation has less coding and scripting, and it performs and delivers business more quickly. can retrieve supporting files for every job that was killed or failed, finished, or scheduled. It aids in identifying the project's primary cause and asking the Redwood Workload Automation support team for help. To meet business demands, the content file can be uploaded to produce new documents. The majority of third-party systems can be connected with Redwood Workload Automation. It connects to the PI system, the bods system, the marc spectrum system, etc. in our use case. Redwood Workload Automation becomes the primary location for the workflow and data flow from several platforms. Using SAP Batch job definitions, Redwood Workload Automation jobs are imported straight from the SAP system. Redwood Workload Automation servers can be connected to Oracle DB, PeopleSoft, and other databases in addition to SAP ECC. The best functionalities are found in Redwood Workload Automation servers, which include chains, events, time windows, submit frames, and other features that reduce daily effort.
  • Allows us to add dependencies that otherwise wouldn't be there and tie jobs from different systems together.
  • used to schedule Batch jobs on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis to keep the business running smoothly.
  • For our clients in the manufacturing industry and their team, we provide general business support. This training was also utilised to develop expertise for moving.
  • A very good memory of the entire application.
  • The chain editor need revision. For instance, we won't be able to flexibly join the jobs under the dependent setup.
  • The largest complaint has been the lack of helpful documentation on how to use the product in specific situations, but I know Redwood Workload Automation is attempting to improve this.
  • A large portion of the documentation is merely very high level and devoid of useful examples to get you started independently.
  • There is no direct Excel export option from the job lists (like in service now)
Completely automated tool with minimal need for operator involvement. It requires very little supervision to operate and is very simple to use. We can depend on the software to ensure that our key business operations function smoothly and practically without any unexpected mistakes. We use business process automation, and by automating the fundamental Batch operations, we have benefited greatly. We rely on the software to carry out the activities. You can manage many systems to tackle complicated problems with little effort. One aspect that can be enhanced is the fact that the session expires rather frequently and we must re-login to the environment systems through the dashboard. Other than that, I like utilizing this tool. executing OS instructions or scripts generating reports using various selection criteria Notifications of job failure and delays

The Redwood user interface is straightforward. Using the script, you can renew the Redwood license by simply copying the content from begin license to end license in the.txt file. The current page and the status of the work can both be refreshed automatically by setting a timer in Redwood. Redwood users' lives are made easier by the ability to add as many queues as they like to separate the connections between various objects, such as our HCM queue, GTG queue, CRM queues, etc. Editing a scheduled task is simple, but you should use caution when choosing whether to update a recurring task or the current process. Every month, we can download any report of our choosing and get failed job reports through xml files for Jsox audit purposes.
  • All quick access features, including monitoring, environment, security, scripting, and auditing, assist in quickly and effectively resolving daily challenges.
  • We can search certain job contents using customized filters, and we can also change the column that is displayed.
  • Also, there is a unique option to limit the number of background tasks that can run concurrently. This limit can be set based on the amount of memory that is available.
  • One of the uncommon settings found in other automation systems is the configuration of alerting mail.
  • Can enhance the integration component to automatically raise tickets and incidents in the current service. The customer success team at Redwood is assisting us in putting this into practice.
  • can submit frames and specify extra default time windows to help schedule the batch operation according to customer and business needs.
  • My report downloads as a.CAR file, making it challenging to convert to an excel file.
Redwood is the best choice if you want to use a specialized program to perform all batch tasks and chains as well as manage your ERP burden, database workload, and other workloads. By clicking "Get support files" in the Redwood window's upper right corner, we can submit log files to the Redwood support staff anytime we run into problems with the system. Unlike other software that doesn't support it, Redwood software is supported in practically all web browsers. Redwood software doesn't have many drawbacks, but I'll mention a recent instance where I found it challenging to submit a job definition using the REST POST servicenowcreateincident method in chains and to use the Snow URL to determine whether any jobs had failed or encountered errors before raising an incident with Service Now management. Scripting was clearly outlined in the job description, which was really helpful to me.

Redwood manages the workload of ERP platforms like SAP , oracle etc. It also has an additional feature of load balancing through nodes and can restrict the number of jobs running in parallel by entering the execution size limit in ECC queue.Redwood manages all complex jobs workflow processes.whenever we are experiencing issues with the Redwood system we can send log files to the Redwood support team by selecting get support files at top right corner of the Redwood window. Redwood software is supported in almost all web browsers, unlike other software that doesn't support it. when it comes to pros and cons.. Redwood software doesn't have much of cons but mentioning about my recent experience where i felt bit difficult to submit a job definition REST_POST_servicenowcreateincident in chains and using Snow URL to check if there are any error/failed jobs and then raise incident in Service now management. Scripting was neatly written inside the job definition which helped me a lot.
  • Alerting module made my day-to-day life easier, using wildcard * option i had created a process alert source for killed and error jobs to send an email alert to all the recipients in the header mail
  • Redwood comes with the pre-defined feature, which actually helps in managing process, promotion module helps in importing of jobs from SAP ECC systems
  • Fuzzy search option to search similar words, wildcard search, creating filters of user choice with pre defined status etc..
  • can improve the integration part to raise automated tickets/incidents in service now
  • can add additional default time windows, and submit frames which helps in scheduling the batch job as per customer/business requirements.
  • overall health check dashboard can be made to check the Redwood automation health.
Compared to UC4, dynamics, and selenium this will be stand-out automation software, where even a beginner can get to know things from scratch. As a fresher without background of testing and automation i learnt this Redwood software and did many R&Ds to make it a stable system before go live happened. Before we were using SAP CPS chronicle tool to schedule batch jobs which doesn't had user friendly interface and not flexible enough to use, But later when we shifted to Redwood software everything was hazzle free and could import 100S of jobs just using a script that made our life much easier.

We use Redwood to run and monitor our batch processing in SAP as well as some external processes. It's not only helped us automate and streamline all of that, but it also helped reduce overall runtime for several important long-running processes.
  • It allows us to run tasks in parallel, unlike the standard scheduler in SAP.
  • We are able to trigger processes based on external events, like the arrival of a file
  • It can let us know when processes have failed so that we don't need to actively monitor the batch cycle.
  • It can also notify when a process has been completed successfully...users can be immediately made aware when one of their important tasks has finished.
  • You can access the system securely from any device that has a browser, so you don't need to be in the office in order to check things.
  • I don't have an answer here. The way it is, the system is easy to use and does exactly what we need.
The system lets you run tasks in parallel to reduce overall runtime, unlike the built-in scheduler in SAP. You can also set your multi-step job so that if a step fails, follow-on steps will still run...again unlike the SAP scheduler. It's also very easy to set up calendar-based jobs, for example, those that should only run during a month-end week. There are many other scheduling options available.

Things we don't run via Redwood are tasks that need to run VERY often...for example, every minute or so. We decided to run those directly in SAP.

RunMyJobs is being used across all of IT to provide a centralized point of processing, monitoring, and alerting for our business processes running on Windows Servers, AS/400 (iSeries), and Linux platforms, as well as direct JDBC connections to databases. Before implementation, processes were scheduled in various independent areas, such as windows task scheduler, with no alerting and no visibility for an operations team to monitor. In addition, before RMJ, cross-platform processes just had to be scheduled in good faith that prerequisites finished on time and successfully. RMJ solves that issue as well.
  • Upgrades are fast and can be done in a "lights-out" manner
  • The ability to organize functions into applications is very helpful
  • Events such as a file watcher to kick off a process when a file is detected are done very well
  • The documentation is lacking severely, many times even leading to a suggestion of paying for professional services to figure out processes. Also not updating documentation when a new release makes the old documentation obsolete.
  • AS400/iSeries has been a constant battle since inception, once an update fixes one thing, another seems to break within the AS400/iSeries space, and sometimes the fixes don't actually fix the issue. Over time now this has gotten much beter.
  • Allowing an issue to go back and forth within a ticket countless times (sometimes over 40 responses) without just getting everyone together on a meeting. Update - this has gotten much better with time.
  • Communication needs a lot of improvement. I have had to reach out to support just to get release notes when a new release is made available.
  • The ability to get accurate counts of historical process runs is limited currently to 35 days and since you are billed for each process run in all environments, not just Production, this limits accountability in historical billing inquiries.
Since we are not an SAP shop, which I know the RunMyJobs company has, it seems like it's hit and miss, where I think maybe an SAP shop might have less issues. AS400/iSeries is touch and go. We have a lot of SSIS package runs and some complicated chains, file watchers that kick off events, and even are able to kick off scheduled jobs in ServiceNow.

Redwood Business Process Automation is the key [tool] almost all the jobs were scheduled through it, its very ease and [time-saving] process to automate and to get alert in case of any job failure. We can also configure to receive long running job alerts. Dependency job can be triggered by setting wait event, and we have the option to schedule a job in a particular time frame and after a particular dependent job[,] all the complex process can be executed from redwood be following few easy steps.
  • Less time-consuming.
  • Easy alert configuration.
  • Holding all system jobs is very quick in case of any activity.
  • [Cannot] copy past a job chain.
Multiple system[s] can be configured in Redwood Business Process Automation so in a single Redwood tool we can monitor all the jobs for all the different systems[.] It was not possible in [the] SAP system, in SAP GUI we have to login individual system to check individual job, and setting [an] alert and monitoring is very quick in Redwood Business Process Automation.

We are using Redwood Business Process Automation across the entire company. It's only being used and administrated from our SAP Basis department, but from here - we are handling about 100.000 SAP Batch executions per day, touching every single area of a retail company, from regular housekeeping, stock replenishment, order management[,] etc. On top of that, we are also using it to run Windows CMD script, and triggering various events on Business Objects. The biggest benefit [...] is the complexity you are able to provide - which we have found no other tool that can do.
  • Complexity and dependencies, yet simplistic
  • Automation
  • User-friendly
  • High capacity systems
  • .
  • .
Can't find any less appropriate areas [seen] from my end. But the ability to automate the entire [batch flow] - both the simple executions, but also the highly complex chains with several dependencies, be it dates, times, other jobs[,] etc. - in a very simplistic way, what is not to like.

We started down the Redwood RunMyJobs path to solve some fundamental issues including intelligent job scheduling, automated daylight saving time adjustment, and greater visibility into the performance of the scheduled jobs. The primary focus was to automate the jobs inside of the ERP system, but we quickly realized the capabilities to work inside of data extract jobs and SQL. The job owners now have access to stop, start, and pause the jobs they are responsible for and it has moved the administration from a single resource into empowering the base.
  • Visibility into scheduled jobs for job owners
  • Intelligent scheduling based on file creation or job completion
  • Time adjustments including time zones and daylight saving time
  • Migration from legacy solution to Redwood Business Process Automation is manual
As our ERP adoption across business units has grown, so have the number of jobs, and Redwood Business Process Automation has worked very well in removing non-value-added activities and a bottleneck from the administration of these jobs. It is also providing role-based access to functional leads, which has improved the time to resolution as well as providing numerous continual improvement opportunities. Redwood Business Process Automation product has changed our organization's thought process around job scheduling.

We use Redwood to handle all of our batch scheduling need[s] across several environmental landscapes. We are a global company and virtually every SAP job that we run, runs through Redwood - as well as a multitude of file transfers to and from vendors as well as to and from internal users. Using Redwood gives us a centralized location to do all this without having to have several different scheduling tools. It also means that we don't have to have several teams to manage the scheduling, which results in not only cost savings made from eliminating the old antiquated software, but also the savings that come from streamlining your organization once the old software has been removed.
  • SAP Batch Scheduling - This is THE BEST tool for triggering SAP jobs, bar none.
  • User management- Other scheduling tools make it much more difficult to manage user access. Redwood user access management is a breeze and take less than half the time it take in other products.
  • Scheduling Flexibility- The ease with which you can make custom time windows with Redwood is one of my favorite pluses. You can build as simple or as complex of a time window as you need to with Redwood.
  • Support- The support that you get from Redwood is in my opinion the best in the world. I have dealt with all the big name players in IT and they all pale in comparison to Redwood. You will never feel like you are in it alone with the best support in the world right at your fingertips.
  • I get asked what improvements can be made and honestly I think its a perfect tool. It is the best scheduling tool I have used and I have been in the business for 25 years. If there were any improvements to be made, chances are the development team is already working on them before I even knew I wanted it.
I think that any company that is running SAP should be triggering their jobs with Redwood. The scheduling features and options in Redwood give you so much more flexibility than the options provided by SAP. As more and more security mandates come down from the ivory towers, it seems the best idea for companies is to restrict individual access to the production SAP environments and run it all through a scheduling tool, my preference obviously being Redwood. It also enable[s] you to keep longer history for your jobs than SAP traditionally prefers. It gives you a centralized location where you can track all of the jobs you have been running, if you are doing file transfers you can track the success or failure of those transfers much easier using Redwood than you could if you just sent them off to some file transfer service. In my humble opinion, if you are running SAP, you shouldn't be doing it without Redwood. It's not just an SAP tool of course, but all of my experience has revolved around SAP being the central data processing system which is why I've focused so much of my review of Redwood around that.

We use RunMyJobs to choreograph multiple back-end applications in order to provide streamlined end-to-end processes running 'round the clock. It is quite capable of handling SAP along with our multiple middleware applications.

I'm more of a user than an administrator, but I have worked with our admins during scheduling and troubleshooting and am impressed by the versatility it offers. We have job chains full of dependencies and RMJ provides all the flexibility we need.
  • Reporting capabilities.
  • Capable of tying in multiple applications into job chains.
  • Mature product.
  • I can't think of anything.
It is well-suited to our environment where we run SAP but also have multiple middle-ware applications.

RunMyJobs is flexible enough to be able to invoke and orchestrate jobs originating in any of those environments, tying them together

Our admins rely on their informational dashboards to ensure data flow in and out of our company is running smoothly as our cashflow depends on it.
