What is the user of SAP Logical Spool Server ?

Updated May 18, 2018

In Spool server there are two type of spool server

1. Real or physical
2. Logical

The logical server is mapped directly or indirectly to real spool server.

My Q is that if the logical server is mapped to real server then how it can help in load balancing because the printing work is done by the Real server only ?

we can create a logical server and can map that logical server to
two different real server. for eg there can be two real servers say
REAL1 and REAL2, one logical server LOGSRV.

we can map this LOGSRV to the REAL1 and REAL2 servers, and this way
users are pointing to LOGSRV only but depending upon the load on
each of the real servers the spool request will be sent to either of
the real servers and this way it helps in LOAD balancing.

this can be done in SPAD, while defining server, there is option to
create a logical server and after creating it asks for server
mapping and an alternate server, there u also have option of load
balancing. check it.
