Activating end-user pop-ups
InfoPrint Manager delivers information to SAP R/3 about output requests (print jobs) as they process. SAP will alert job owners about problem and job completion information delivered from InfoPrint Manager through end-user pop-up messages.
Note: Until SAP R/3 Release
4.5B, the pop-up message is always reported only to users in the client
where the OMS callback daemon has logged on. You defined this client
when you Defining an SAP user for the OMS callback daemon or process.
In SAP R/3 Release 4.5B, SAP delivers asynchronous pop-ups to users
who are logged onto any SAP client.
To activate this support, make sure that you have done these steps while installing and configuring InfoPrint Manager with SAP R/3:
- From the SAP R/3 graphical user interface, modify the logical
output management system (LOMS) definitions by specifying the
spadtransaction. - From the Spool Administration: Initial Screen window, click Extended admin and click Logical OMS from the Output management systems pane to obtain a list of the logical output management systems (LOMS) available on your installation.
- From the Spool Administration: List of Logical Output Management Systems window, select IPM001 LOMS or another appropriate LOMS and click Choose.
- From the Spool Administration: Logical Output Management (Display) window, click Change.
- From the Spool Administration: Logical Output Management System window that is displayed below, check the Status dialog box field in the Jobs pane and save the changes.
- Once you have specified this setting, information from
the InfoPrint Manager sent back to your SAP
R/3 application server will be delivered in the form of a pop-up window.
For example, if an output request was canceled, a pop-up Info window should
appear on the output requesters' SAPGUI.Note: All pop-up window text is scrollable, however an SAP R/3 limitation limits the text of the InfoPrint Manager messages (as well as those received from any OMS) to 50 characters.
