Hi Raghav,

You can achieve this by defining a variant in the SAP Standard job that you execute for spool deletion. Use not equal, equal options for the user.

Hi,

Check your standard background jobs. There must be a job that runs RSSPO041 report to delete the spool requests. You can execute the report in SE38 or SA38 and create a variant, where you can exclude specific users by select Not Equal option to leave a specific user ID.

If you are not sure, check with your Basis guys to know more about the setup.

Moderators - I feel that this question best fits in Basis group.

Hi,

delete spool runs program RSPO0041

and from SE38 > insert RSPO0041 > choose variant.

if you create one variant, there is no parameter to exclude certain user's spool.

but spool can be stored on OS level and on table (determined by parameter)

if the spool is stored on OS level, you may "save" this file to another location (recognized by filename which is related to spool number)

if the spool is stored on database (TST03), i think it is not possible.

hope it help you.
