 Procedure documentation Defining a Real OMS (ROMS) in the SAP System Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

 Use

To be able to integrate the SAP spool system into an external output management system (OMS), first define the OMS as a real OMS (ROMS) in the spool system. The ROMS definition specifies the properties of the external OMS to the SAP System. 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 that are 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 have the option of delivering 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

There are two ways to create a ROMS, depending on whether your OMS vendor provides a configuration file or not.

If the OMS vendor provides a configuration file, you only need to upload the file. The ROMS is then created for you. For more information about uploading, see Importing OMS Definitions.

If no configuration file is provided, create a ROMS definition in the SAP System as follows:

...

       1.      Call transaction SPAD, and choose Extended Administration or Full Administration.

       2.      Then, on the Output Management Systems tab page, choose Real Output Management Systems.

The list of defined ROMSs appears.

       3.      If you are not in change mode, switch to this mode by choosing This graphic is explained in the accompanying textChange.

       4.      You can now do the following:

¡        You can create a new ROMS definition by choosing Real OMS ® Create.

¡        You can use an existing ROMS definition as a template.

To do this, click the entry in the list of ROMSs for the ROMS to be used as a template, and choose Real OMS  ® Create Using Template.

       5.      Enter the name of the ROMS and a description.

       6.      Fill out or edit the fields of the OMS Attributes subwindow using the OMS documentation.

In this subwindow, you select which function are implemented in the OMS, such as whether the vendor has implemented OMS command line commands or RFC function modules that can be called from the SAP System.

       7.      You can enter an initialization instance in the SAP Configuration subwindow.

Generally, SAP expects that OMS commands can be issued from any SAP server. However, it is possible that an OMS requires that the initialization command be issued at a particular host. In this case, you can use the Initialization Instance field to meet this requirement.

       8.      Save the ROMS definition and exit the function.

       9.      If you are using callback (the job status is returned by the OMS), you must define the SAP user and the password for the callback client.

The user name and password are used to log onto 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 additional information, see the Structure linkUser Maintenance Manual.

Create the user in the logon client of the callback client. To be able to log on to the CCMS XOM-API, the user requires authorization for S_XMI_PROD (Authorization for external management interfaces (XMI)) with the value XOM for the Interface ID field.

For example: S_XMI_ADMIN or S_XMI_XOM_A.

Result

Your ROMS definition for identifying an external OMS is finished. You can now define logical output Management systems (LOMSs) and OMS printers that reference the ROMS.
