Installing and Configuring Adobe Document Services For Print Forms

Former Member

Hi,

I want to use Adobe Document Services,for Print Forms Scenario,on ABAP side.

I installed the Adobe document Services following the steps in the Installation Guide.I obtained the Credentials file and supplied it during installation.

Then i followed the steps in the configuration Guide,except for the SSL connection part, as i have chosen Basic Authentication .

The Web Service is running and on opening the home page,when i test the method rpData,it asks for Username and password,when i supply my username password it says, user does not have rights to method rpData.

I even tried using J2ee Admin rights,user with SAP_ALL rights, and ADS_AGENT.

When i test the service from ABAP side,using the RFC destination i created on Client 400,from where i want to use it, the test shows status code OK.

When i test a form through transaction SFP,it asks for USERNAME and password,which i tried as my USERID,ADMIN ID with SAP_ALL rights, even with the users i created during Configuration like ADS_AGENT, ADSUser etc.

Our J2ee Engine is installed on Client 200,i installed the ADS on Client 200 and created the users ADS_AGENt(service user with role SAP_BC_FP_ICF) and ADSuser on Client 200.

I also activated the ICF services and created the destination for the destination service using Visual Administrator.

My Issues:

1)To test the Webservice,what USER ID password needs to be supplied?Do i need some Special role or rights?

2)During Configuration ,when i create a USer in SAP Web AS ABAP for Basic Authetication,after creating ADSCallers Role and assigning to ADSUSer ,in Visual Administrator,after selecting com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices*AdobeDocumentServicesAssembly.jar ,under ADSCallers,i ama ble to see the both the users ADSUser(user in j2ee Engine for basic authentication ), and ADSUSER (user type system in ABAP),are visible,

When try to add ADSUSEr by choosing ADD,from USER Tree , it doesn't do so.So i Added the ADScallers group instead,thus indirectly both users added.Can this be a Problem?

3)What else do i need to do?Am i missing something?

Please help.

Regards,

Siddhartha

Hi Sigghartha,

You use Username as ADSUser which you have created in ABAP. It has all required rights if you followed all steps in configuration.

HI,

Guru,

What do you mean by USERID used to install WAS 6.4?

When i test the Web Service through its homepage

http://<host><port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config

I tried the USERID of J2EE Admin and userid with SAP_ALL rights,it says no authorization to use method rpData.

Bhawik,

i also tried using ADUser Created on ABAP,but it just refreshes the popup prompt for userid /password.

Hi Siddhartha,

<i>When try to add ADSUSEr by choosing ADD,from USER Tree , it doesn't do so.So i Added the ADScallers group instead,thus indirectly both users added.Can this be a Problem?</i>

Can you bit explore on this?

I guess, you are trying to add security roles for Adobedocumentservices.jar file, right?

On clicking on add button you can see all groups exists. Now, explore ADSCallers group there. then, you will see ADSUser under this group. Choose this user and add in security roles.

Hi Bhavik,

Thanks.i can see the ADSUser under the ADSCallers Group apart from ADSUSER. I select the ADSUser to add and the popup closes,but the user is not added.I couldn't figure out why,thats why i tried adding the ADSCallers Group instead ,and it got added.

I didn't think that it would make a diffrence,so wanted to confirm from you all.

I can't figure out what i am missing in the configuration.

Which USERid/Password should i give to successfully test the ADS Web Service?

Hi Siddhartha,

<i>ADSUser(user in j2ee Engine for basic authentication ), and ADSUSER (user type system in ABAP)</i>

What do you mean by this?

If you have Java + ABAP stack on your WAS then you have to create your username "ADSUser" in ABAP only. No need to create ADSUser in JAVA stack extensively. I am wondering why you have two usernames under ADSCallers group. In all configuration steps, Have you used ADSUser or ADSUSER?

You should use username which you have created in ABAP.

HI Bhavik,

Thanks.I Had created 2 users-ADSUSER in ABAP with role ADSCAllers,but this role was not being mapped as ADSCallers Group in visual administrator,thus the ADSUser was also not shown as assigned to this group.So i created another user as ADSUser using Visual Administrator with a Group ADSCallers and added it.Now both the users ADSUSER and ADSUser were being shown,which i felt was rather strange.

Also,i was then unable to assign security role to the ADSUser.

Finally i figured out our UME configuration,was not reflecting the ADSCAllers role as Group but was showing the user.

I deleted the ADSUser from Visual administrator but kept the ADSCAllers group.

Now i was able to add the user ADSUSER created in ABAP,the security role.

Also,i had given wrong passowrd to ADS_AGENT,due to confusion.

Finally,issue got resolved.

Thanks a lot.

Hi all,

I am having an issue in which my ecc could not use properly the ADS on the EP.

I could properly execute FP_PDF_TEST_00 from se38 transaction which gives the correct version no of ADS. Also I am able to get the correct version no by giving username and password at http://<J2EE_host>:<J2EE_port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config which seems like the ADS is working properly in EP.

However when the abaper is trying to run his form using spf like ZFORM_VENDOR it is showing error like

" Error during activation Message no. EU837 "

Can you please shed some light on what all steps I need to check to ensure that ADS is working properly ?
