Why use it?

SAP Integration Services allow you to improve productivity by running Winshuttle Foundation activity in off-hour time frames, in the background. This enables you to manage and schedule Foundation or Studio jobs to run against SAP, as well as web services created by Winshuttle products for forms and workflow solutions. 

SAP Integration Services Architecture 

How does it work?

Winshuttle SAP Integration Server runs on a Windows server, and includes a server manager cockpit. It interacts with requests from the Excel Ribbon, Studio Full-Client, or Workflow Application screens. These requests are received and processed in a managed environment that balances SAP system performance characteristics, profile settings, and customer needs. Winshuttle’s patented solution allows you to convert Winshuttle Studio scripts without writing any ABAP code. 

What can it do?

• Implements policies to control, limit, and throttle SAP system resources during Winshuttle updates 

• Provides scalable architecture with queuing capabilities 

• Robust server- based scheduling capabilities
