Task Creating a Logical Spool Server
1. Create a logical server Logical##. If possible, enter two different
spool servers as mapping and alternative server and activate load
distribution. Classify Logical## as a test server.

is used in the future. Classify Local## as a test printer.
3. Change the specifications for your SAP user so that an output request
is created for a spool request by default.

“rspo”) with immediate printing on the printer Local##.
