SAP Note 19706 - Tuning the Spooler

Component : Spool System -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/19706 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
The SAP Note addresses performance issues with the SAP spooler system, particularly focusing on spooler configuration settings that are often not optimized for specific operational needs. The note outlines organizational and configuration adjustments essential for environments where spooler performance is critical. It categorizes printers into three groups based on their response time and volume demands and suggests allocating these to separate spool work processes to avoid performance bottlenecks. Also, it discusses the number of spool work processes permissible post the SAP Release 4.0A, eliminates previous restrictions, and allows more flexibility. Emphasis is placed on the appropriate selection of access types ('L', 'C', 'U', 'S') to balance response times and reliability. Additionally, it covers the impacts of network issues and the configuration of network printers, recommending strategies to optimize response times and throughput by managing spool requests and printer configurations effectively.

Key words :
access types access type 'l', worthwhile abandoning continuous lines, goods receipt/issue sheets, hp-jet-direct-cards, qms crown immediately accept, tcp/ip protocol stack, small network node processor, access type 'u' disturbs, network access types 'u', unlike access method 'u'
