MAPPING Suite and SAP


Main Challenges

The Mapping software suite simplifies the management of SAP print jobs by easily answering the following SAP output management issues:

  • Improve graphics by quickly designing document and label templates, etc.

  • Manage all printers whether thermal, PCL, AFPDS, etc.

  • Ability to sort, split and group files
    • ,
  • Advanced spooling functionality: priority management, manage SAP and non SAP output with the same tool, manage printers, trays, stapling, etc.

  • Ability to display the status of printers and print jobs alike right within SAP.


MAPPING Suite: Printing Solutions For All ERPs

MAPPING Suite makes it possible to transform and publish all documents coming from SAP whether in XSF, RDI, SAPGOF, XML or TXT format. What's more, MAPPING Suite's spooler can do all the spooling instead of SAP.

Transform and publish all SAP documents with MAPPING Suite (XSF – RDI – SAPGOF)

MAPPING Suite makes it possible to easily reformat SAP data to your liking.
Changing the layout of spool files, adding logos and overlays is now a total snap with our document composition module MAPDRAW. MAPOUT and MAPWEB are two other modules that make it very easy to archive Documents and make them readily accessible to both local and remote users. And the same functions are also available in UNICODE.

With MAPPING Suite, you won't have to modify SAP programs. MAPPING handles data coming from SAP directly be it XSF, RDI, SAPGOF, XML or TXT format.

With MAPPING OUTPUT MANAGER, you will send data spool files to entry points to trigger processing rules (remapping, reporting, sorting, splitting, etc.) as well as print rules (print, email, fax, archive).

MAPPING Suite and MAPPING OUTPUT MANAGER will manage all print files and printers and send information back to SAP very simply.

Connect your SAP systems to MAPPING Suite via the XOM external interface (eXternal interface for Output Management) to manage all print spool files coming from SAP. The interface monitors and retrieves the status of the spool files sent to MAPPING OUTPUT MANAGER.


Simply define your ROMS (Real Output Managment System) and LOMS (Logical Output Managment) as you wish. MAPPING Suite understands and interprets every single command in the XOM interface.

  • SUBMIT
  • POLLING or CALLBACK
  • JOB QUERY
  • DEVICE QUERY
  • CANCEL

These features are available in Command line mode or RFC (Remote Function Call) mode.


OMS Polling Interface

The Command line mode is easy to configure and particularly suited to small or test configurations. Its features will appear in the form of commands installed on the SAP system. At any time, you will be able to retrieve the status of all print spool files and printers.


OMS Operations Supplement

At any time, you can retrieve the status of the spool files sent to MAPPING OUTPUT MANAGER by using interactive commands.

  • DEVICE QUERY

    • Sends a global status retrieval request to a particular queue (to retrieve the status of all spool files in that queue)

  • JOB QUERY

    • Collects information about different spool files

  • CANCEL

    • Deletes a spool file upon user request

SAP / MAPPING Suite architecture

MAPPING OUTPUT MANAGER is available on UNIX (AIX and HPUX), Linux and Windows. The Polling Interface and Callback Interface are available on the different operating systems and work independently. This means that you can select the OMS platform of your choice regardless of the SAP platform.

MAPPING interfaces support different kinds of architectures i.e. centralised, decentralised and multiplatform to fit your needs and manage thousands of printers.
