Schedule Job node and ALM Service fields
Configure the Schedule Job node and its mandatory ALM Service inputs.
Scheduling jobs in Symphony
Symphony enables users to automate and manage job execution through the Schedule Job node available within the workflow designer. This node acts as the central configuration component for defining job scheduling parameters and maintaining SAP Cloud ALM integration details.
The Schedule Job node contains all mandatory ALM-related inputs required for successful job execution, monitoring, and data synchronization with SAP Cloud ALM. Users must ensure that all required input fields are properly maintained before saving, validating, or scheduling the job.
The following section explains the ALM Service input fields and their purpose within the Schedule Job configuration.
ALM Service input fields
The ALM Service section within the Schedule Job node contains the mandatory configuration inputs required for establishing integration between Symphony and SAP Cloud ALM. These inputs enable secure authentication, communication, and monitoring of scheduled jobs within the SAP Cloud ALM environment.
