An ABAP task list is a sequence of ABAP tasks that can be executed automatically or manually in an SAP system. An ABAP task can be a function module, a method, or a report that performs a specific action. To create an ABAP task list in a development system and transport it to the production system, you need to do the following:

Assign the task list to a package. A package is a container for development objects that belong to the same application or software component. By assigning the task list to a package, you enable the transport of the task list along with its dependent objects to other systems.

Activate the task list. Activation is the process of generating the executable code and metadata of the task list and storing them in the database. Only activated task lists can be executed or transported to other systems. You do not need to assign the task list to a customizing or a workbench transport request, as these are different types of transport requests that are used for different purposes. A customizing transport request is used to transport configuration changes that are made in the Customizing IMG. A workbench transport request is used to transport development objects that are created or changed in the ABAP Workbench. A task list is neither a configuration change nor a development object, but a sequence of ABAP tasks that can be executed in any system.Reference: [TADM12], Unit 5: Software Logistics, Lesson: ABAP Task Manager for Lifecycle Management Automation, Slide 5-7; [ADM100], Unit 5: Background Processing, Lesson: ABAP Task Manager for Lifecycle Management Automation, Slide 5-7.

A spool request is a document that contains the data to be printed by the SAP system. A spool request can be created by different types of work processes, depending on the type of print request. A work process is a component of the SAP system that executes a specific task. The following work process types can create spool requests:

Background: A background work process executes programs that run in the background without user interaction. For example, a background work process can create a spool request for a scheduled report or a batch job.

Dialog: A dialog work process executes programs that run in the foreground with user interaction. For example, a dialog work process can create a spool request for a print request that is triggered by a user action, such as clicking a print button or choosing a menu option. The other work process types do not create spool requests, but they may perform other functions related to the printing process. For example:

Update: An update work process executes programs that update the database asynchronously after a dialog work process has completed. For example, an update work process can update the status of a spool request or an output request after they have been processed by the spool system.

Spool: A spool work process executes programs that transfer the spool requests from the TemSe Data Store to the output devices. For example, a spool work process can format the spool requests according to the device type and send them to the host spooler or the external output management system.Reference: [SAPTEC], Unit 3: SAP System Architecture, Lesson: Work Processes, Slide 5-7; [ADM100], Unit 3: SAP System Architecture, Lesson: Work Processes, Slide 5-7; [SAPTEC], Unit 5: Background Processing, Lesson: Printing, Slide 4-5; [ADM100], Unit 5: Background Processing, Lesson: Printing, Slide 4-5.

In an SAP S/4HANA server system, you can maintain various data for a technical user, such as roles, groups, and parameters. Roles are used to assign authorizations to users, groups are used to organize users into logical units, and parameters are used to set user-specific values for certain system variables. However, you cannot maintain address data for a technical user, as this is only relevant for dialog users who have a personal user master record.Reference: SAP S/4HANA System Administration course [ADM100], Unit 3: User Administration, Lesson: Creating and Maintaining User Master Records, Slide 4-5.
