SAP_COM_0467

This document describes the configuration steps that have to be carried out by customers to set up the integration between SAP BTP ABAP environment and local printers using SAP_COM_0467.

Purpose

The communication scenario SAP_COM_0467 enables you to print from an SAP BTP ABAP environment system on your locally installed printers. The scenario consists of an inbound OData API which is designed for third-party output management systems (OMS) to connect, as well as a REST outbound API for the notification of new documents to be printed. OMS provide you with more refined printing functionalities.

Prerequisites

  • You've installed an OMS.

  • You've configured a user in your OMS.

  • You have the following business role assigned to your user:

    • SAP_BR_ADMINISTRATOR

  • This business role contains the following business catalogs:

    • Communication Management (SAP_CORE_BC_COM)

    • Output Management (SAP_CORE_BC_OM_PRT)

Process Steps

  1. Log in to your SAP S/4HANA system. Go to the Communication Management section and start the app Display Communication Scenarios.

  2. Search for scenario ID SAP_COM_0467 and click on it.

  3. Now click on Create Communication Arrangement in the top right corner.

  4. Choose a name for your communication arrangement and click Create.

  5. You will now need to create a communication system. You can do this by clicking New next to the field Communication System.

  6. Choose a new System ID and click Create.

    Note:

    The System Name is filled in automatically with the same name as the ID. We recommend leaving this as it is to prevent confusion.

  7. In the General section enter the host name, the IP address, or the URL of your OMS. Leave the HTTPS port as it is.

  8. Now scroll down to Users for Inbound Communication and click "+" to add a new communication user.

  9. Click on New User. Enter a username and a description. You can then choose to either enter a new password or upload a client certificate by clicking on Upload. Click Create to save the user, then click OK.

  10. Now scroll down to Users for Outbound Communication and click "+" to add a new communication user.

  11. Enter the username and password you created in your OMS. Click Create to save the user, then click OK.

  12. Save your communication system by clicking Save on the bottom right.

  13. Scroll down to the Outbound Services section and enter the service path you got from your OMS provider in the field Path. The service url will be configured automatically.

  14. Save your communication arrangement by clicking Save on the bottom right.

  15. Now search for the Maintain Print Queues app, open it and select New to create a print queue of the type OMS for Notification Integration Queue.

  16. Enter a name and a description for the queue. Choose a format and make sure to select the name you chose for your communication arrangement in step 4. Set the notification type: When print queue items are added to the queue, a notification call is sent out. Here you can decide whether you want notifications for a certain number of items or for every single new item. Leave the other settings as they are and save your test queue by clicking Create.

  17. Scroll to the bottom of the print queue list window and copy the system URL, as you'll need it later on.

  18. Open the test queue and create a couple of test pages by clicking Create Test Page. They'll have the status New.

  19. (OMS): Open your OMS and log in to the S/4 HANA system by using the system URL you copied in step 17 as well as the user and password created in step 9 and assign a physical printer to your print queue. Now you can print the test pages from your OMS. For details, please refer to the individual product documentation.

  20. (SAP BTP ABAP environment): In the Maintain Print Queues app, your documents will now be labeled Successful.
