Managing Spool Requests
Lesson Duration: 60 minutes
Lesson Overview
In this lesson, you will learn about managing spool and output requests.
Lesson Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
• Manage spool and output requests
Familiarize yourself with transactions SP01 and SP02. As part of your
preparation for this course, test the monitoring of spool requests from
other systems in transaction SP01. Being able to work with the output
status is an important skill for evaluating output errors. Demonstrate how
to use the return messages by manually provoking an error (for example,
in the case of remote printing, address a host on which saplpd has not
been started). Take the opportunity (after starting saplpd), to show the
status “”. Describe the regular deletion of old spool requests and the
functions of the regular consistency checks of spool data and TemSe. SAP
Note 98065 describes the chronological process of multiple consistency
checks and how to handle their results.
Business Example
As a spool administrator, you maintain the spool and output requests
in your SAP system.
Managing Spool and Output Requests
To maintain spool and output devices, call the Output Controller
(transaction SP01 or choose System → Services → Output Controller). If you
only want to check the status of your own, current spool requests, choose
System → Own Spool Requests (transaction SP02).
Transaction SP01 provides many selection criteria for selecting particular
spool or output requests. Every user can individually and easily define
the selection criteria that he or she requires using the Further Selection
Criteria... function.
