Deleting Multiple Spool Requests Simultaneously in spool

You want to delete multiple spool requests simultaneously. You can perform the deletion in the output controller or, with appropriate authorization, in Spool Administration.

Prerequisites

Every user can delete his or her own spool requests in the Output Controller (SP01).

For Spool Administration (SPAD), you require administrator authorization.

Procedure

Deleting in the Output Controller (SP01):

...

1. Choose Tools ® CCMS ® Spool ® Output Controller (transaction SP01).

2. Display the overview of the spool requests.

3. Select the requests to be deleted.

4. Choose Delete.

Deleting in Spool Administration (SPAD):

...

1. Choose Tools ® CCMS ® Spool ® Spool Administration (transaction SPAD).

2. On the tab page Admin. choose Settings.

You can delete spool requests by the following criteria:

¡ Spool requests whose expiration date has been reached

¡ Spool requests that have been successfully output

¡ All requests

¡ Requests with a certain minimum age

When deleting a spool request, you delete the following files or entries in addition to the request itself:

- The spool request itself; the record of the spool request in the spool database

- The print file; the data is stored separately from the spool request, in the temporary sequential object database (TemSe).

- Administration data for all output requests generated for the spool request.

- Any error logs that exist; these are stored separately from the spool request, in the temporary sequential object database (TemSe).

We recommend that you regularly delete old print requests in the background with report RSPO1041.

You can also delete inconsistent spool requests in the background during the spool consistency check with report RSPO1043.
