Greetings,

Earlier this month I sent some mail to Bil Huxley, you folks were on the 
cc: list.  Here is a quote from that mail asking a question:

I am aware of the need for spool and other print related request to go to 
r3-print, and have tried very hard to include them anytime I send new 
requests to HESREQ for SAP related queues.  One of the things that has not 
been made clear to me is who should be asked or is responsible for the 
queue requests for SAP to be added to IPM?  R3-ADMIN, FSS, you 
specifically, David, Gill?  So I guess I am asking that question now.  In 
addition, while Dave has had a quick preliminary conversation with Ron 
about this, if the request is for a non public queue, the IPM folks need to 
be kept in the loop about the list of authorized users to ensure that we 
have secured the queue in IPM appropriately as well.  Again I am going to 
go back to the VM model, we had list of people authorized to change forms, 
use the forms or request new forms for departments.

David Rosenberg also followed up asking for clarification of what I meant.

A part of this question comes from this being central printing, rather than 
distributed printing.  Again going back to the VM central printing model, 
for the "X" forms that were not public we had department contact who 
"owned" the from, provided a list of people authorized to: 1. alter the 
form, 2. print the form, 3. alter the authorization list.

For production SAP print that will be managed by the IPM server, who owns 
the central queue?  Who can request the creation of a queue, the changes to 
that queue, (the name of the queue, different printer, different 
information on a header sheet, changes to the authorization list, changes 
to any special handling by the operations staff)?  Should this be an 
individual?  If so, who?  Should this be a group?  R3-print, FSS, some 
other combination?

For the new queues set up earlier this month, glmp, gltw, and glte we are 
taking the mail from Gill Emmons as the final authorization for the access 
list.  Should Gill be the owner of this central production queue?

There are similar questions for test queues.  Who should be able to request 
and own test queues?  Is that list of people or groups different from 
production queues?

I am sending this mail to you folks since you seem like the natural place 
to start asking these kids of questions.

Thanks

Lynne
