Step4:- Creating the ABAP RFC Connection

• Call transaction SM59 from the ABAP Choose Create.

• Enter at least the following: RFC destination: ADS

Connection type: G

Description: Adobe Document Services Connection Choose ENTER

• Choose the Technical settings tab and enter at least the following:

Target Host = Hostname of J2EE Engine where ADS is running. Service No = Port Number of J2EE

Engine where ADS is running.

Path Prefix = /AdobeDocumentServices/Config?style=rpc

(Enter exactly the string)

• system

Choose the Logon/Security tab, select Basic Authentication.

In the User and Password boxes, enter the user name ADSUser and the corresponding password.

• Save your settings.

• Choose Test Connection. •

• A screen is displayed. The field status_reason: OK (or forbidden) indicates that the test was successful.

STEP5:-

Test ABAP Connection:-

Run this test to ensure the ADS RFC destination works.

• Log on to your SAP system.

• Call transaction SA38.

• Enter the name of the test report FP_PDF_TEST_00.

• 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.

• Choose Execute (F8) • If the configuration is correct, the system displays the version number of the Adobe document services

Step6:-ADS Web Service: Checking User and Password:-

Run this test to check whether entries for the user, security roles and password are correct in the system that is used for basic Authentication.

• Navigate to the J2EE engine where Adobe Document Services are installed

http://160.110.150.146:50100/AdobeDocumentServices/Config.

• Login with a J2EE Admin account (e.g. Administrator.)

Choose Test

Choose rp Data

Choose the Send button without entering any parameters

Enter username (ADSUser) and Password

Choose Submit

Create Destination service:

This is necessary if AS Java and AS ABAP are on different systems. It will allow the ABAP system to communicate with AS Java where ADS is installed

Ensure ADS_AGENT account is created and assigned role SAP_BC_FP_ICF on AS ABAP

• Launch Visual Administrator

• On the Cluster tab, choose Server <x> → Services → Destinations. Under Runtime, select HTTP. The available destinations are displayed.

• Choose New to create Destination Service FP_ICF_DATA_<SID>

• In the dialog box that follows, enter the name FP_ICF_DATA_<SID>, where <SID> is your ABAP system, for the new destination and choose OK.

Under Connection Settings, enter the message server of the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP in the URL field: http://160.110.150.146:8000 . To display the host name of your SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP log on to SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP and call transaction SICF.

In the main menu, choose Goto → Port Information.

The information is displayed on a screen; where the HTTP_port is specified under Services.

• Enter the appropriate client number of the system, where the service user ADS_AGENT exists into the client field. Keep the other fields System ID and Language empty.

• Under Logon Data, choose BASIC in the Authentication field.

• Enter ADS_AGENT in the Username field and enter the same password as given for this service user in the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP in the Password field.

• Choose Save.

• If you choose Save and Test, you can ignore the message Error during ping operation: Received HTTP response 404.

Test Destination Service from AS ABAP

Run this test to check AS ABAP can communicate with AS java through Destination service FP_ICF_DATA_<SID>

Launch Transaction SA38 in ABAP System

Execute Test FP_CHECK_DESTINATION_SERVICE without the “with Destination Service” option.

Click on Execute.

Record the bytes transferred.

Repeat previous step with Destination Service option.

If results are same then Destination Service config. is correct

Install Reader Rights Credential
