Hi Rocklyn,

thanks for the further clarification...  sorry, my conclusion was 
inaccurate...  it was based on my understanding that when we received 
requests to create an SAP R/3 output device the various IPM pieces would be 
in place and working...  I did try to validate the status; however, I 
stopped looking once I received the automated message from computing-help...

I wonder...  should we be sending automated messages if the queue is not 
ready for use?

Thanks,
Theresa

p.s.  just confirming...  "gltt" is still unavailable for testing?
