Choose Logical server and enter at least one spool server for Mapping. Enter the other details as described in the exercise and choose save.
2. Change the output device Local<##> so that the logical server Logical<##> is used as its spool server in the future. Classify Local<##> as a test printer.

4. Output any list (suggestion: all profile parameters that begin with “rspo”) without immediate output on the printer Local<##>.
a) Settings from previous exercises may mean that Output Immediately is proposed as the time of printing. The user can make this (and other) settings in the print dialog box by choosing Properties.
Hint: By choosing Show selected print parameters on initial screen on the Properties window, you can maintain some parameters directly on the print dialog box in future.
To create the suggested list, start transaction SA38 enter the report RSPFPAR, and execute it. Enter the parameter rspo* and choose Execute again. Alternatively, you can also print the output of transaction SM51.
To Print, choose the appropriate pushbutton. Alternatively, you can choose System

Print. Choose the output device Local<##> (enter it directly or select it using the F4 help). Choose Continue without making any additional entries.
5. Check your output. Which real spool server was used?
a) This time, an output request is created immediately. Transaction SP01 displays its status. For the spool server, select your output request (not the spool request) and choose Choose Detail. The server name is at the bottom of the list.
