Setting a Storage Location for Output Devices

You can specify whether spool data is stored in the database or in the file system, for each output device.

Call Spool Administration ( Tools CCMS Spool Spool Administration ). Enter the name of the output device on the Devices/Servers tab and confirm your entry.

Choose Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Data Storage End of the navigation path . The following options are available:

Matching profile	Use the storage mode specified in the system profile of the Spool server. This is the default setting.
Database	Spool request data for this device is stored in the SAP database. This is the safest but also the slowest way to manage spool request data.
File system (global)	Spool request data for this device is stored in the globally shared SAP file system. This is faster than database storage, but carries the risk of loss of spool request data in the event of database or other system problems.
File system (local)	Spool request data for this device is stored in a local file on the Spool server host. This is the fastest storage mode, but carries the risk of loss of spool request data in the event of database or other system problems.
