ADS Configuration in Netweaver 7

ADS Configuration in Netweaver 7.3 Let's Begin- There are 2 types of ADS Configuration1) Basic Authentication 2) SSL Authentication. Here, I am discussing ADS Configuration using Basic Authentication for interactive Adobe Forms. Prerequisites-

1) SAP Netweaver 7.3 As Java System (ADS should be installed). 2) SAP Business Suite 7 System Profile Parameters -

1) Profile Parameter SAPFQDN should be set in both As Java and As ABAP system. Process -

AS Java (Netweaver 7.3)

1) If UME is on As Java a) Create ADSUSER as a Technical User in Identity management if it does not exist. b) Create ADSCALLERS group in Identity Management. c) Assign UME Role SAP_ADSCALLER (You need to assign this role only to users who need to access ADS). In my case, I assigned this role to the ADSCALLERS group in identity management. d) Assign ADSCALLERS group to ADSUSER in identitiy management. 2) If UME of As Java i s running on As ABAP system a) Create ADSUSER in As ABAP. b) Create ADSCALLERS role in PFCG and don't assign any authorization to it. c) Assign ADSCALLERS role to ADSUSER. d) Go to Identity Management of As Java, there search for role SAP_ADSCALLER and add user ADSUSER to it. Go to assigned  Action Tab and search for adobe adobe in available actions and add action action AdobeDocumentServicesADSCaller to role and save it.

3) Go to SAP netweaver administrator (http:// (http://:/nwa). :/nwa). Then Go to SOA. Under SOA, go to Technical Configuration --> Destination Template Management

Choose Create New Destination

Choose Destination Type as WSIL and enter Destination name as ConfigPort_Document Enter URL as below: http://:/inspection.wsil Enter System name: and hostname:

On next screen, Choose Authentication as HTTP Authentication and Select User ID/Password (Basic). Enter ADSUSER and password as shown below:

Then click on finish. Now, destination ConfigPort_Document will be created. Note: If you are configuring Interactive Adobe Forms then first request SAP to provide Adobe Interactive form credentials and *.pfx file which you need to configure Reader Right credentials. In order to obtain Reader Right credentials then please follow SAP note 736902. 4) In order to install Reader Right credentials, go to nwa (http://:/nwa). Go to Configuration --> Infrastructure --> Adobe Document Services

Choose Document Security and then select Credentials.

Click on Manage P12 Files. A Pop-up will be open where you need to provide path of *.pfx file that you got from SAP. Choose Upload. Now, your *.pfx file will be uploaded. Click on Add New Object and a pop-up will be opened. In Alias, Select Reader Rights Type should be P12. P12 File should be automatically filled as we have already uploaded the file in previous step. Enter Password for P12 file.

Save this record.

5) Restart the service Document Service Trust Manager Service and then the service PDF Manipulation Module for the changes to take effect. In order to restart the service, go to Operations --> Systems --> Start & Stop. Open Java Services Tab. In order to obtain list of services for ADS, filter the Service component Name column by Adobe. Restart the service.

6) Create Destination FP_ICF_DATA_ in SOA. Go to nwa (http://:/nwa) Go to SOA --> Technical Configuration Select Destinations Click on Create.

Enter Destination Name as FP_ICF_DATA_ Select Destination Type as HTTP. Click Next. Enter URL of As ABAP system (http://:) e.g. http://abc.com:8000

Enter System ID and Client of As ABAP system. On Next screen, Select Authentication as Basic. Enter User as ads_agent and its password.

Click on Finish.

By this way, configuration of ADS on As Java side is complete.  As ABAP Login to As ABAP system. 1) Create user ADSUSER as a system User in transaction SU01.

2) Create user ADS_AGENT as a system user in transaction SU01 and assign roles SAP_BC_FP_ICF, SAP_BC_FPADS_ICF & SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION. Note: Either assign standard roles or make a copy of this role to Z roles. If you are assigning standard roles then make sure that profile of these roles should be generated. 3) Create role ADSCALLERS in PFCG and assign user ADSUSER to it. 4) Go to t-code SM59 and create ADS RFC as Type G. a) In Target System settings, enter target host name and Service no. of your As Java systems.  b) In Path Prefix, enter- /AdobeDocumentServices/Config?style=rpc c) In Logon & Security tab, select Basic Authentication. Then, enter user adsuser and its password.

Save the RFC. 5) Go to SICF and activate below services /default_host/sap/bc/fp /default_host/sap/bc/fpads By this way configuration of ADS is completed. If you face any problem during ADS configuration or during testing, Please check below SAP notes: 944221- Troubleshooting if problems occur in forms processing 915399- com.adobe.ProcessingError File not found on URL Location Link to help.sap.com for ADS Configuration-

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: o

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) o

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 Log on to your SAP system. Start the transaction SA38. Enter the name of the te st 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. 

Checking the Destination Service and the ICF Service Log on to your SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP system. Call transaction SA38. Enter the name of the test report FP_CHECK_DESTINATION_SERVICE. Execute the test without choosing the option With Destination Service. The system renders a test form in the b ackground without using the destination service and displays the size o f the created PDF. Execute the test again. Now select the option W ith Destination Service. If the settings of the destination service are correct, the system displays the same message as before (see step 5). 
