Prerequisites: Configuration Steps

Adobe Document Services (ADS) enable processing of business form data from both ABAP and Java applications. Configuration is required for the ABAP Form Processing Framework to communicate with the ADS server on the Java stack. Key steps include creating users and destinations on the Java system for ADS, and configuring the RFC connection on the ABAP system to call ADS. Tests can verify the ADS configuration is working properly by previewing and printing test forms.

Adobe Document Services (ADS) enable form-based processing of business data triggered by

both ABAP and Java based applications. As ADS are running on an Netweaver AS Java, the basic
configuration differs dependent of the environment, that needs to communicate with ADS Server
(NW AS).

If form processing is performed in an ABAP environment, configure the communication between


the Form Processing Framework running on AS ABAP and the ADS running on AS Java,  to
process forms in an ABAP environment, the ABAP transaction Dynpro or Web Dynpro ABAP
applications call the ADS.

Prerequisites

1. SAP Netweaver 7.5 AS Java System Installed.


2. SAP S4HANA or any NW AS 7.5 ABAP System.
3. Suitable PDF output device created on ABAP based system.

Configuration Steps

On NW 7.5 JAVA System – ADS

 Login on to the portal system Java Stack http://:/useradmin (port: 500 eg. If instance number is


00 so the port will be 50000)
 Create ADSUSER and assign the SAP_ADSCALLER and SAP_ADSMONITOR in
the role tab.
 Change Security Policy to be: Technical User
 Change Security Policy to be: Technical User

On ABAP System (S4 or Any NW AS ABAP)

 Login to S/4HANA System or (ABAP NW 7.5 AS) and enter transaction “SM59” to maintain
RFC Connection

RFC destination: ADS


Connection type: G
Target Host: Enter the host name of the JAVA System that runs the Adobe document
services ADS or of the SAP Web dispatcher if applicable
Service No: Enter the HTTP port number of the Target Host you have specified (The
following naming convention applies: 5<Java_instance_number>00 (50000, for
example, if your Java instance is 00)
o Path Prefix: /AdobeDocumentServices/Config?style=rpc
o Enter the user created in portal system. ADSUSER
 Go to PFCG tcode and create an empty role named as ADSCALLERS
Create a user account in SU01
ADS_AGENT & ADSUSER (SYSTEM Type)

Assign the role


o ADSCALLERS
o SAP_BC_FPADS_ICF
o SAP_BC_FP_ICF
o SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION
 Activate the service in SICF
 Call transaction SICF Next navigation step Activate the following services:
 default_host → sap → bc → fp
 default_host → sap → bc → fpads

Configuring: ADS to ABAP

 Go to portal page (NW JAVA System) http://:/useradmin (port: 500 eg. If instance number is 00


so the port will be 50000)
 Create a new destination with destination name FP_ICF_DATA_ <SID> with
destination type as HTTP SID is of S4HANA system or Any ABAP System.
 Maintain the connection URL along with port of http service of ABAP System.

URL is your S4 or NW ABAP AS hostname and port number eg. http://:> port


number is 80
Eg. http://sapservers4:8001 (hostname: sapservers4 and instance number 01)
Maintain details of ADS_AGENT user details which was created in ABAP System.

 Also, open SLD functions with the following URL http://host:port/sld/fun

Click on enable automatically

 Also, login to NWA… Select SOA Management -> Technical Configuration -> Destination
Template Management.
 Click on Security Tab
 Select Authentication ‘HTTP Authentication’ and ‘User ID/Password (Basic)’
 Select ‘Details’ and enter the user ADSUser and the corresponding password
 Click finish

Testing ADS Configuration:

Checking ADS Configuration in an ABAP Environment


1.  Log on to the AS ABAP system.

2. Start the transaction SA38.

3. Enter the program name FP_TEST_00.

4. Choose Program Execute (F8)
5. Make sure, that the following default values are entered in the respective fields:
Form: FP_TEST_00
ADS Connection: ADS or the RFC Destination name specified in your system (if it
does not correspond to the default entry)

6. Choose Program Execute (F8)

7. Enter the Output Device.

8. Choose Print Preview.

9. If the system displays a form containing several lines on two pages, the ADS
configuration is correct. Otherwise, perform the
tests described below

Checking the ABAP Connection to ADS

1. Log on to your SAP system.


2. Start the transaction SA38.
3. Enter the name of the test report FP_PDF_TEST_00.
4. Enter the name of the connection. Enter the default name ADS, or, if you have
specified another name, the one you are using in your system.
5. Choose Execute (F8).
6. If the configuration is correct, the system displays the version number of the Adobe
Document Services.

Checking the Destination Service and the ICF Service

1. Log on to your SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP system.


2. Call transaction SA38.
3. Enter the name of the test report
4. Execute the test without choosing the option With Destination Service.
5. The system renders a test form in the background without using the destination
service and displays the size of the created PDF.
6. Execute the test again. Now select the option With Destination Service.
7. If the settings of the destination service are correct, the system displays the same
message as before (see step 5).
