Re-Distributing a Printer Group to a Target System Group
While you configure your PAL landscape, it may become necessary to reorganize a Printer Group or a Target System Group. For example, you can add or remove PAL Printers from a Printer Group (see: Creating a Printer Group). You can also add or remove Target Systems from a Target System Group (see:
Creating a Target System Group).
If you do not perform a re-distribution afterwards, such changes will only apply to the definition of the Printer Group, or Target System Group, in the Central System. Therefore, you must use the re-distribution function to reflect the changes made in the Central System in the Target System(s) as well. When the re-distribution runs, PAL Printers then will be automatically added to or removed from the affected Target Systems.
Example
Update Error Corrections
When a distribution fails with an error, for example because of an RFC destination failure, you correct the RFC destination in the Target System(s) first. Afterwards, you click Distribution Status
, select the applicable Printer Group and click Re-distribute
.
Update Printer Group Modification
When you remove a PAL Printer from a Printer Group or a Target System from a Target System Group, you must re-distribute the changed configuration to the affected Target System group(s) as described in the example above.
