TemSe Storage System 

The spool system uses the TemSe storage system (TemSe = temporary sequential objects) to store output data. The TemSe database is also used for storing background processing job logs and other sequential objects that are temporary in nature (such as application data from FI and HR).

You can display and administer the TemSe objects using the functions provided in Spool ® TemSe contents and Spool ® TemSe administration. The TemSe administration function also lets you administer the character set buffer used by the spool system (though not the buffer used by SAPscript).

Retaining too many spool requests in the TemSe storage system may lead to capacity problems in the database in the SAP System. The best way to avoid space problems is to delete old spool requests daily in the background. See Deleting Spool Requests in the Background. Deleting these requests also deletes the corresponding print data in the TemSe storage system.

You should also ensure, to the maximum extent possible, that users have the Delete after output option set in their user master records. This is especially important for users who have authorizations to execute background processing jobs and batch input sessions.

The TemSe functions in Spool ® TemSe contents and Spool ® TemSe administration are intended only for "emergency" use, for example for analyzing print problems by displaying output data.

Do not delete objects using these functions if you can avoid doing so. Delete old job logs and spool data using the delete functions provided in the spool and background processing systems. Deleting objects using the TemSe functions can result in error messages in the system log from the affected components. For example, the background processing system registers missing job logs in the system log.
