• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MONITOR104 - Data stored in spool ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/MONITOR104 Data stored in spool typically indicates that the system has generated a spool request for the output of a report or transaction, and the data is not being displayed directly on the screen. Instead, it is stored in a spool file, which can be accessed later.
  Cause:
  
  Spool Request Generation: The system is configured to generate a spool request for certain operations, which can happen due to settings in the output management or specific transaction configurations.
  Output Device Configuration: The output device may be set to a spool rather than direct output, which means that the output will not be printed immediately but stored for later retrieval.
  User Settings: User-specific settings in SAP may dictate that certain outputs are always sent to a spool.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Access the Spool Request:
  
  You can access the spool request by using transaction code SP01 (Spool Request Management).
  In the Spool Request Management screen, you can search for your spool request by user, date, or other criteria.
  Once you find the relevant spool request, you can display, print, or delete it as needed.
  
  
  
  Change Output Settings:
  
  If you want to change the output settings so that the data is displayed directly instead of being sent to a spool, you can check the output device settings in the relevant transaction or report.
  You may also need to check the user profile settings (transaction SU01) to see if there are any specific output preferences set for your user.
  
  
  
  Check Output Device Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the output device is configured correctly in transaction SPAD (Spool Administration). You may need to adjust the settings for the output device to ensure it behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Review User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view and manage spool requests.
