1.12.10

SAP Note 10743 - Host name longer than 8 characters.

Symptom

You wish to print from a remote PC. Using transaction SPAD you enter coupling type 'U' or 'S'. The field for the name of the remote PC is too short for you to enter its name.

Reason and Prerequisites

In the SAP system host names are only 8 characters long.
(They are used in this length as a key value in many places in the system.)

Solution
Transaction SM55 (->Tools->Administration->Network->THOST maintenance.
A host with a very long name in the network outside R/3 or a direct or a direct IP address can be assigned an internal R/3 short name here.
To implement these changes, you must either restart the R/3 system or implement the RSPO_THOST_CHANGED function in Transaction SE37 in the single test.

In the field SHORTNAME, youc should enter an asterisk.

As of Release 4.6, you have 32 characters to enter the host name. If this is still not sufficient, you can make a THOST entry directly on the screen in the SPAD (key length is 8 characters).
