/sapmnt/SID/GLobal SPOOL Files

[Former Member]

Hi

We are using Adboe forms and when spool request generate for the Form, there are three files generating on the OS Level @ /sapmnt/SID/global directory. The three files as follows.

SPOOL0000014229_00001.xfd

SPOOL0000014229_00001.pcl

SPOOL0000014229_00001.cfg

We have hundresds of PDFs getting generated everyday and its filling up the FILE system at OS level. These files are deleted when we delete the spool request from SP01.We would like to know if there is any process where we can delete the files from he OS level or can we change in the program tp change path of the files to store in diffrent location.

Regards,

Hi,

The parameter rspo/store_location specifies where the spool output files should be stored.

db: Spool requests are stored in the database in table TST03

G: Spool requests are stored in the standard R/3 "global" directory: /usr/sap/C11/SYS/global/ (UNIX Systems).

Specifying a path name other than the predefined path is not recommended. Should this be absolutely necessary, you can alter the path name in the file rsts/files/root/G. You should not change the file naming convention specified in the file and please make sure the path/file is accessible by all the application systems.
