Excluding output display from the viewer

The Exclude from Viewer check box in the Output Management System Control Panel affects all output that is selected in the OMS request by suppressing the display of that output in the Viewer window. This process is often useful for production jobs that generate a lot of output and when you don't need the results in the form of a Viewer document (.spv file). You can also use this functionality to suppress the display of particular output objects that you simply never want to see, without routing any other output to some external file and format.

To suppress the display of certain output objects without routing other output to an external file:

  1. From the menus choose:

    Utilities > OMS Control Panel...

  2. Create an OMS request that identifies the unwanted output.
  3. Select Exclude from Viewer.
  4. For the output destination, select File--but leave the File field blank.
  5. Click Add.

The selected output will be excluded from the Viewer while all other output will be displayed in the Viewer in the normal fashion.

Note: This setting has no effect on OMS output saved to external formats or files, including the Viewer SPV format. It also has no effect on output saved to SPV format in a batch job executed with the Batch Facility (available with IBM® SPSS® Statistics Server).
