Preface


The SAP automation pack files are a collection of Cisco Process Orchestrator (CPO) processes (workflows) authored by subject matter experts that work out-of-the-box to automate best practices for a particular technology. The automation pack files also include configuration objects that are used in the processes, such as variables, categories, target groups and knowledge base articles.

The SAP Automation Pack for Automation for SAP BW and BWA includes the content used to automate best practices for monitoring SAP BW availability, operations and performance. Cisco Process Orchestrator provides event correlation and root cause analysis capabilities, and intelligently manages the flood of incoming incidents by analyzing them in the context of the other incidents, events and metrics. When critical problems are detected, you are notified with a thorough description of the problem and recommendations for resolving it using language approproate for both administrators and operators.

This guide is intended to provide information on importing and using the Automation for SAP BW and BWA automation pack in Process Orchestrator.
