Output Management System Control Panel
You can use the control panel to both start and stop the routing of output to various
destin
ations.
 Each O
MS request remains active until explicitly ended or the end of the session.
 Adest
ination file specified on an OMS request is unavailable to other SPSS
procedures and other applications until the OMS request is ended.
 While an OMS request is active the specified destination files are stored in
memory (RAM); so active OMS requests that write a large amount of output to
extern
al files may consume a large amount of memory.
 Multi
ple OMS requests are independent of each other. The same output can be
routed to different locations in different formats based on the specifications
in different OMS requests.
