To set up the integration between SAP BTP ABAP environment and local printers, you can use two communication scenarios, SAP_COM_0466
and SAP_COM_0467
.
Both communication scenarios are designed to connect third-party output management systems (OMS). OMS provide you with more refined printing functionalities. With SAP_COM_0466
, the OMS use polling to check for the availability of new items to print. The communication scenario only has inbound communication. The SAP Cloud Print Manager for Pull Integration is supported by this communication scenario.
With SAP_COM_0467
, the SAP BTP ABAP environment system sends a notification to the OMS if new items are available to print. Therefore, the communication scenario has in- and outbound communication. This communication scenario doesn't support the use of the SAP Cloud Print Manager for Pull Integration.
Item retrieval and status update is the same for both methods. The only difference is the determination of new items to print.
Please check the documentation of your OMS first to see which method is supported before creating a communication arrangement of any type. An example of an implementation of these communication scenarios is Microsoft Universal Print. See this blog for more details.
