Performance degradation when Mass printing

[former_member184739]

Dear Experts,

  We experience performance problems when printing data in mass amounts(>250 print copies)

  Are there any provisions to overcome the above defects?

I have done research on SCN before coming here and please suggest your thoughts on below ideas.

1.http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile711/helpdata/en/3c/07f03b10e9ab0ce10000000a11402f/content.htm

tells us for Mass printing

  A) SAP recommends to use a local access method for performance reasons.

  B) To optimize the output speed, deactivate the status query through the host spool system and the print manager.

  C)  If necessary, deactivate the Delete After Output option that automatically deletes output requests that have been output successfully.

2.Store data in printer cache to avoid sending repeated information's over the network which is the reason for the bottleneck.

3. I have also came to know about HVP(High volume printing) but this solution seems to be more expensive.

    I believe there must be workarounds to achieve this within SAP.

Please share your suggestions/views. Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

please check SAP marketplace. A new version of WWI is available (together with WWI cookbook) and there seem to be downsizing done for e.g. HVP etc. solutions (part of EnhPack 7). It is worth to check the updates (in my opinion).

Hi Prabaharan,

As of HVP , as christoph mentioned the application  is expensive,because you need a separate printer which can print the consolidated spool etc.

The below steps may be help ful in setting up the same/

-The individual spools need to be consolidated by output device and per day for reports  generated for report shipping orders using EHS printer 1 .

-Use standard program RSPOPRNT consolidate the spool.

-The consolidated spool files need to be created to Unix (PCL format) using separate EH&S output device(printer) .

-Files are saved to the specific Application Directory (AL11).

I have not much idea of printer  setup,but the above steps will be helpful

Regards
