Documentation
Definition
Name of the host system on which the SAP relay process is running.
The relay process is responsible for passing print requests to remote printers. (Remote printers are those that are defined with communication method U or S in the SAP system. Such printers are reachable from the SAP system only by way of a network link).
The spool work processes of the SAP system process output requests for remote printers. They then forward the printable output stream to the relay process. The relay process manages the network link to the remote printer and sees to it that the output data provided by the spool work process is sent to the printer.
Using the relay process prevents delays in processing output requests. These delays can occur if spool work processes themselves are responsible for passing the output stream to a remote SAPLPD transfer process. If a transfer process is not running or is not reachable, the spool work process must wait for network time-outs to occur before processing additional output requests. The relay process, by contrast, always accepts output from a spool work process immediately. The relay process then takes over the job of communicating with the SAPLPD transfer process.
