Procedure documentation Exporting OMS Definitions Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

In addition to importing OMS definitions, you can also export definitions from the SAP system.

Exporting OMS definitions from one SAP system and importing into another is one way to move your SAP OMS definitions between SAP systems. However, you should use this procedure only in exceptional circumstances, such as to move the definitions between test systems quickly. The reason for this is that it is easier to keep track of where you copy OMS definitions if you use the recommended "official" transport mechanism. See: Transporting OMS Definitions Between Systems.

You can also use the export mechanism to store your OMS definitions.

Prerequisites

You would like to move one or all of the objects that make up an SAP OMS definition between SAP systems. 

Procedure

...

       1.      Log on to the SAP system from which the OMS definition is to be exported.

       2.      Choose Administration ® CCMS ® Print ® Spool Administration (transaction SPAD) and then Utilities ® For output management system ® Export.

       3.      Specify the following on the selection screen:

·         In Export/Import file name field, enter the full path name of the configuration file.

·         Select Server or Frontend computer depending upon where you want to export the configuration file.

·         Select Export, Execute export, and Generate log. 

·         Enter a logical OMS and/or a real OMS. You can also export all LOMS definitions to a real OMS.

       4.      Choose Execute. 

The report displays a list showing the ROMS and LOMS definitions that have been exported from the SAP system to a host system file. 

Result

You have exported all or part of an OMS definition to a file. You can do the following:

·        You can save the file as an informal means of backing up the OMS definition.

·        You can import the file into another system.
