Output Control of Spool Requests and Output
Requests
Purpose
Every user can manage his or her own spool and output requests in the Output Controller. Call the output controller using transaction SP01 (Tools → CCMS → Spool → Output Controller) or in the system by choosing System → Services → Output Controller.
You require administrator authorization to access other users’ requests.
See Authorizations for the output controller
Features
In the output controller, you can:
· Check the status of your own current spool requests. To do this, choose System → Own Spool Requests.
· Specify selection criteria for displaying spool and output requests. A list of spool or output requests then appears that match these criteria.
· Output spool requests; that is, the system generates output requests that are sent to the host spooler, for printing or output on other devices.
· Display detailed data about a spool or output request and change certain attributes such as destination printer and the number of copies
· Display the data to be printed and download it as an ASCII file.
· Add spool requests to another spool request.
Constraints
Requests that have already been passed by the SAP spool system to the host spool system (operating system spooler) cannot normally be deleted.
The only exception is the use of output management systems that offer this feature.
