Re-Distributing a Printer Group to a Target System Group 

Use

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.
