Creating a Real Output Management System (SAP Library

Creating a Real Output Management System

To integrate the spool system into an external OMS, you must first create the OMS as a real OMS (ROMS) in the spool system. The ROMS specifies the characteristics of the external OMS. Not every OMS offers all of the operations that the OMS interface allows. Therefore, when you create the real OMS in the SAP System, you should specify the options supported by the OMS you are using.

Prerequisites

Your external OMS system should be installed and ready to run before you define it in the SAP System.

OMS manufacturers may deliver a configuration file to you. If such a file is available, then uploading it into the spool system creates the ROMS and operating system specific commands for you.

Before proceeding, check to see if such a file is available for your OMS.

Procedure

Is an OMS configuration file available? If so, do the following to upload the file: Importing OMS Definitions.

Start the ROMS maintenance tool. Choose Tools ® CCMS ® Spool ® Spool administration. Choose Extended admin, and then Real output management systems on the Output management systems tab page .

Choose Change and then Create. You can also copy the settings and configuration of an existing ROMS. To do this, select it and then choose Create with copy.

Use the OMS documentation to fill in or edit the OMS attributes fields.

Save the ROMS definition and exit the function.

If you are using callback: Define the SAP user and password for the callback client. The user name and password are used to log on to the SAP System if you are using callbacks. To define user names and passwords, choose Tools ® Administration ® User maintenance ® Users. Note that the values entered in the OMS are the same. For more information, see the User Maintenance Manual.

Create the user in the logon client of the callback client. The user needs the following authorization to log on to the CCMS system management XOM API:

An authorization for S_XMI_PROD (Auth. for external management interfaces (XM)) with the value XOM for field Interface ID.

Sample SAP authorization: S_XMI_ADMIN or S_XMI_XOM_A.

Result

Your ROMS definition for identifying an external OMS is finished. You can now create logical output management systems and OMS printers that reference the ROMS.
