Hello,

I want to create a new printer but don't want to use batch input on SPAD.

Any Idea about fm / bapi?

thanks

Werner

I don't believe it: to create a new printer is a typical operation for your basis, so it seems not to make a sense to create a printer automatically by a program.

Debug SPAD from the point just before the printer is created, and see if there is a (or a few) function modules called that actually perform the action of creating the printer.

i thought this was a very simple question..

@ max : yes - i know. I am programming a tool for admins. So it makes perfectly sense

@ matt : i usually debug before i post a note at sdn

@ raju: what has that to do with my question?

In the meantime i found the fm RSPO_SXOMS_I_CREATE_PRINTER which i am going to try .

Pls don't wast your and my time with answers that don't help to solve the problem.

thanks

Hello.

I already have a program for managing SAP-printers but the definition of new printers is currently executed by import of formatted .txt file via SPAD. My program fetches all printers from a given printserver and formats the file for import into SAP, in this way we can define 100 printers in seconds. However i would like to expand the functionality and make individual changes possible.

Can you please share your experience using the earlier mentioned FM and also provide a FM for fetching all attributes of an existing output device in the system ?

What i need to do is fetch one or all output devices from SAP, then do a cross-check on their attributes with those of selected printers on a set of printservers, and the result should be updated in SAP.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Best Regards Gerhard Andreassen.

Were you able to create printer using RSPO_SXOMS_I_CREATE_PRINTER. I am also trying to do the same but I don't see a field for providing destination host in this FM. Can you please suggest how did you solved the creation of printer through program?
