How SAP2Printix works
- SAP2Printix receives the spool file and related information (target printer ID, job ID, etc.) from the BC-XOM interface
- The application retrieves the necessary credentials for the corresponding Printix tenant and performs a printer mapping, as printers have different IDs in the SAP® system and Printix platform
- Using the retrieved information, the application sends the spool file to Printix via a REST call, and the Printix client sends the job to the appropriate printer
- Once the print job is created in Printix, the application performs a spool mapping to link the SAP spool ID to the Printix spool ID. This enables monitoring of print job status and logging of the process in the SAP® database
