Overview

SAP Job Monitor is a lightweight SRE-oriented monitoring tool that:

• Connects to SAP via SSO (PyRFC)
• Calls custom RFC ZSRE_JOBMON_EXPORT
• Polls background job data (SM37 tables TBTCO / TBTCP)
• Displays live status in a Bokeh dashboard
• Runs as a Windows system tray application
• Can be packaged as a single executable

The application is maintained by ProgreTech LLC for SAP SRE workflows and focuses on visibility, runtime tracking, and operational awareness.

Architecture

Single-entry design:

main.py
 ├─ Starts Bokeh server (in-process)
 ├─ Starts system tray app
 └─ Agent polls SAP via RFC

Key components:

• main.py -- Single entrypoint
• app_tray.py -- Windows tray UI
• agent.py -- Polling controller
• sap_api.py -- RFC call wrapper
• sap_connector.py -- Secure Login Client SSO connection
• dashboard.py -- Bokeh visualization
• data/ -- JSON snapshot + Excel tracking list

---

SAP Dependencies

Custom objects required in SAP:

• Function Module: ZSRE_JOBMON_EXPORT (Remote-enabled)
• Structures:
  • ZSRES_JOBMON_FILTER
  • ZSRES_JOBMON_JOB
  • ZSRES_JOBMON_STEP
• Table Types:
  • ZSRET_JOBMON_FILTER
  • ZSRET_JOBMON_JOB
  • ZSRET_JOBMON_STEP

Function module reads:

• TBTCO (job header)
• TBTCP (job steps)

Raw SAP status is preserved. STATUS_TXT is a minimal bucket: - RUNNING - SCHEDULED - DONE - ERROR - CANCELLED - UNKNOWN

---

Local Setup

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run application:

python main.py

System tray will appear.
Use Start to begin polling SAP.

Dashboard URL:

http://localhost:5006/dashboard

---

Excel Tracking

data/jobs.xlsx controls which jobs are monitored.

Expected columns:

• job_name
• job_user
• expected_duration_sec
• tracked (checkbox/flag)

The agent reads this file and sends filters to SAP via RFC.

---

Packaging as Executable

Build single-file Windows executable:

pyinstaller --noconsole --onefile main.py

Recommended later additions for production packaging:

• Hidden imports for Bokeh
• Custom icon
• Version metadata
• Windows startup registration

---

Known Limitations (v1)

• Current step detection is best-effort
• Next run time not yet exposed
• Job log extraction not yet implemented
• No auto-retry logic on RFC disconnect (future enhancement)

---

Future Enhancements

• Runtime trend sparkline
• Failure log extraction (TBTC5)
• Reconnect/backoff logic
• SLA breach alerting
• Status badge color in tray icon
• BTP deployment version (JSON-ready architecture)

Collaboration

Sanitized sample data, api compatibility notes, report clarity, and reproducible workflow failures are useful ways to help. Read CONTRIBUTING.md for issue reports, proposed changes, and attribution requirements.
