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
