• Storage requests

Multiple step mode (standard setting): The steps of the storage request follow on automatically.

Single step mode: Each step of the storage request is only executed if it is manually triggered.

• Confirmations

Multiple step mode (standard setting): The steps of the confirmations run automatically after each other.

Single step mode: Each step of the confirmation is only executed if it is manually triggered.

Storing Print Lists

• Storage queue

The CARA queue screen is displayed. The CARA queue is the queue in which the spool writes storage requests for print lists.

By choosing you manually start the execution of the storage requests waiting in the queue.

• ArchiveLink job

The job overview of the ArchiveLink job is displayed, that you scheduled in customizing. The ArchiveLink job searches the CARA queue for entries.

• Storage job

The screen for the storage job is displayed. Whenever the ArchiveLink job finds an entry in the CARA queue, it starts the storage job (CARA job), which then creates the storage request in request management.

• Storage requests

A list is displayed containing all current storage requests. Choose to display a list containing only the failed storage requests.

From the list, you can go to the detail view of the storage request, where the request history is logged. For more information, see Storage Requests: Detail View.

• Confirmation

After storing, the storage system returns a confirmation to the SAP System. A list is displayed containing all the current confirmations. Choosing displays a list containing only storage requests for which unsuccessful storage was confirmed.

Printing stored lists

• Print job

Print lists can be printed from an entry in the detail screen of the hit list. A print job is started for printing, and a list of all current print jobs is displayed.
