Example: Remote Printing (UNIX)

Assume that you have the following configuration:

An application server named C11_HPUX_11 on the UNIX workstation with the host name HPUX.

A UNIX workstation with the host name PSERVER.

There is no R/3 application server on PSERVER. You want to use HPUX as the server for printing R/3 data. The available output devices are (among others) the local printer SAPPRT01 and the remote printer SAPPRT02.

To implement this printing configuration do the following:

Ensure that R/3 application server HPUX_C11_11 provides spool processing. You can do this by editing the application server definition in the Computing Center Management System.

In the PSERVER spool system, define SAPPRT01 and SAPPRT02 as printers. SAPPRT01 is a local printer. SAPPRT02 is a shared remote printer.

The SAP System accesses both devices by passing output requests to the spool system in PSERVER.

Create definitions for these printers in the R/3 spool system (Tools ® CCMS ® Spool ® Spool administration and Output devices).

Specify HPUX_C11_11 as the Spool server for each printer/fax machine.

For Access method, specify U (Print on LPDHOST using Berkeley protocol).
