Do i need ABAP stack on EP, to run Adobe form in Webdynpro ABAP

[mona_mehta]

Hi All,

We have an EP running on Java stack, and are going to configure ADS for development of Intercative forms in webdynpro ABAP, on our ABAP stack wihich is seperate R/3 system.

Do we need to have ABAP stack also on Portal, for the development and execution of Interactive forms on Portal?

Please clarify my doubt. Its very important

Thanks in advance

Hi,

you needn't to have ABAP stack also on portal. ADS run upon java stack. You will only need to configure connection between ABAP stack in separate R3 system and ADS.

Thanks Michal,

I thought my post would go unanswered i am grateful that you did.

Michal, i had another problem. The current R/3 system does not support web dynpro component development. Is there a possibility to upgrade the current system, or i need to have a seperate server for ABAP stack.

I am a bit confused.

Hi,

installation isn't my hobby and I can't tell you about possibilities of upgrading.

For WebDynpro ABAP your abap stack must be NW 2004s. Your java stack with ADS must also be NW 2004s because communication between ADS on NW 04 and abap stack on NW 2004s doesn't work - thread "Run JAVA netweaver2004s and ADS 7.0 together with ECC 5.0 "

But here is certainly someone who can describe it more precisely.
