1.2 - Proxy configuration as part of extended customizing

December, 2023
New feature

Is your SAP® application server not directly connected to the Internet? How can you reach your Printix tenant with such a network configuration? Is it still possible to output spool requests using a SaaS print management solution?

You can now configure a proxy as part of the extended customizing of the SAP2Printix application. This enables the communication between the SAP® system, the SAP2Printix application, and the Printix platform, while maintaining the security level of your original setup.

To print from the SAP ® system via Tungsten Printix using a proxy:

  • Navigate to “Maintain Proxy for Internet Access” in the “Extended customizing” and create a “New entry”
  • Give the proxy a user-friendy name
  • Enter the information about the hostname and port, as well as a user and password, and save your entry

To complete the configuration, navigate to “Parameters” and add the parameter “PROXY_NAME” with the proxy’s user-friendly name as value.

Architecture of SAP2Printix application to print from SAP via the Tungsten Printix platform
First Release

BECONEX SAP2Printix is an application that allows printing from an SAP ® system (ECC or S/4HANA®) via the Tungsten Printix cloud platform for secure print management. To establish the communication between the two platforms, SAP2Printix uses the BC-XOM interface from SAP ® and the Printix Cloud Print API.

The application is divided into two parts:

  • The component for the BC-XOM interface, which is implemented as .NET executables and employes the command line interface of BC-XOM.
  • The transport requests for the SAP ® system containing the customizing, logon and mapping information, and responsible for handling the output status.

The Printix platform and SAP2Printix application serve as external OMS for the SAP® system and provide:

  • Simplified management of SAP® printers and print jobs directly in the cloud
  • Easy retrieval and update of SAP® printers from the Printix tenant(s)
  • Direct and secureprinting scenarios as part of the business logic
  • Reduced cost and effort for deployment and administration of the OMS
