Using SAPlpd Menu Functions 

The menus offered in the SAPlpd program interface allow you to control the following SAPlpd functions:

SAPlpd Menu Functions

Menu and Function

Purpose

File ® Save as

Lets you save the current SAPlpd activity log as a file. The activity log is the information that SAPlpd writes on its program window as it receives print jobs.

Log ® Delete

Erases the current SAPlpd activity log from the program window.

Options

Lets you customize the appearance of certain R/3 print requests. The customizing options work only on requests for devices that are defined with device type SWIN in the SAP spool System.

For more information, see Making Use of Special Features of SWIN Printing.

Debug

You can use SAPlpd to monitor when output requests are being processed, and Network to monitor network communication. Normally, you can leave the default values Debug level 0, Trace level 1 set. SAPlpd logs only the arrival and end of processing of print requests.

You can set values up to 9 for the SAPlpd option, or 3 for Network, to track SAPlpd’s activity.

All debug and trace messages (those that have to do with the reception and processing of jobs) are displayed right in the SAPlpd window. You can save these debugs and traces by saving the window in SAPlpd. You can also use the start options -d or -g. See SAP Note 41913.

It is best to leave the default settings in place unless technical support requests trace information from you.

Language

Select the language for SAPlpd menus and messages.
