Adobe Document Services Configuration

Hi Experts,
ERP2004 SP17, EP 6.0 SP20, AS Java 6.40 (web dynpr runtime), As Java 7.0 (for ADS).
I am running ADS on one server (NW 7.0) and web dynpro runtime on server (AS Java 6.40). We are using central SLD. ADS on 64 bit lunux systems is not supported if AS Java 6.40 is installed. I also have followed the note; 925741 Adobe DOcument Service with non supported platforms.
I am trying to configure ADS using the configuration guide for ADS for NW2004. I published the ADS to SLD.
I went to http://<host>.<company.com>:50000/AdobeDocumentServices/Config
and gave ADSUSER/Password,
I get the following response.
RESPONE 1:

The document says it should bring the version of the ADS. I got a tree like response in which i see an element which shows the version: 710.20061024154505.342190
I can not execute PCRs that come with MSS business packages. I am getting an error like this below.

I do not know RESPONSE 1 is causing ERROR 1 on portal.
I did not yet install adobe reader credentials.
any ideas why I am seeing the error on portal?

One more observation I have made is:
a HTTP destination is created on AS Java 6.40 as part of the configuration.
5.3 Creating a Destination of the Destination Service in the Java EnvironmentIf you use print forms you have to create the destination service on the server where the Adobe document services are installed. If you use forms in ISR scenarios, for example in the Business Package MSS, you have to create the destination service on the J2EE engine that hosts Web Dynpro.To create the new destination, proceed as follows:
1. Log on to the Visual Administrator. See How to Start the Visual Administrator [on page 48].
2. On the Cluster tab, choose Server <x> → Services → Destinations. Under Runtime, select HTTP. The available destinations are displayed. The information that applies to a selected destination is displayed in the right pane.
3. Choose New in the navigation panel.
4. In the dialog box that follows, enter the name FP_ICF_DATA for the new destination and choose OK.
5. Under Connection Settings enter the message server (or Web Dispatcher) of the SAP Web AS ABAP in the URL field:
http://<hostname>:<HTTP_port>
and in case of SSL,
https://<hostname>:<HTTPS_port> To display the host name of your SAP Web AS ABAP log on to SAP Web 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.
6. Enter the client number of the system where the user ADS_AGENT exists in the field client. Keep the other fields System ID and Language empty.
7. Select the authentication method to use for the connection, and enter the parameters for the authentication method in the corresponding fields (if applicable).
In the Username field enter ADS_AGENT (must exist as service user in SAP Web AS ABAP)
In the Password field enter the same password as given for SAP Web AS ABAP service user ADS_AGENT.
See Creating a Service User in the ABAP Environment [on page 32].
8. If the connection is to use HTTPS, then specify how the connection should handle SSL server authentication.
9. Save the data.
After this configuration, I picked the button SAVE and TEST,
the system throws an error:
Error during ping operation, Received HTTP response 404

Adobe document service configuration

Hello,
We are in the process of configuring adobe document service and having issues in configuring credentias
Background:
Web AS Java 640 only
Steps we have followed:
1. Have installed adobe document service
2. creating user for basis authentication
3.Setup basic authentication
4. Published adobe document services to SLD
I dont find the directory Trustmanager/trust/credentials under usr/sap/SAPSID/SYS/GLOBAL/Abodedocument for installing PKCS credential.
Please guide how to proceed further and what could be the issue?
Appreciate your response
Thanks,
Vadi

Hi Vadi,
what SP do you have installed? According to the Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide the Directory has to be created as described SAP Note 682619 when you're running a lower SP than 12.

Adobe Document Service Configuration Issue

Hi All,
Actually we have installed SAP ADS 7.4 ON SAP NetWeaver 7.4 JAVA STACK HUB
SYSTEM.
I did the configuration as per the SAP Standard documents. The ABAP
connection in ADS is working but ADS configuration in an ABAP environment
is not working.
While I am executing the form in SFP, I am getting the error message:
ADS:com.adobe.ProcessingException: com.adobe.Processin(200101).
While I am testing the ADS configuration in ABAP environment, I am getting the error:
ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException:com.adobe.Processin(200101).
While I am checking the Destination service in SAP ECC I am getting theerror: SYSTEM ERROR:
ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException:com.adobe.ProcessingException: XMLFM Exception during render:com.adobe.ProcessingException(200,101).
For the above issues I raised ticket to SAP. They suggested below steps, So I did the first three steps but I don't know how to do the 4th and 5th steps means how to copy the and extract the files.
1. Shutdown J2EE engine
2. Rename the folder
/usr/sap/<SID>/<Instance>/j2ee/os_libs/adssap
to antoher folder name (ex. adssap.old)
3. Start J2EE engine
4. Make sure XMLFormService_native.zip is copied under os_libs fold
during starting up engine (synchronize phase)
5. Also make sure XMLform.exe is extracted under
/usr/sap/<SID>/<Instance>/j2ee/os_libs/adssap/XMLFormService/bin
Please help me from where to copy the zip file mentioned in 4th step and find the attachments for error screen shots for reference.
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks&Regards,
Ravikiran.

Hi Varun,
Actually we installed ADS in NW 7.4 and while I am doing configuration I am getting the above issues.
While I am executing the any form means (standard also) I am getting the same issues.So I think it is may be configuration issue.
I raised ticket to SAP with the below error they suggested above five steps.
ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: com.adobe.Processin(200101).
Thanks&Regards,
Ravikiran.

Trying to setup Adobe Document Services configuration and get error

When I click browse for the P12 file, i get the error listed below. I'm only using 1 node, and looked at oss note 900945. Anybody know how to fix this?
An error occurred while indexing the credential files
com.adobe.service.sap.configuration. ConfigurationException

Sorry, I am getting the same error, same situation. I too am looking for a solution. In other posts I have read, they say to make sure that the IIOS service is running on the dispatcher and the server. Mine is running on the server, but not the dispatcher. When I try to start it on the dispatcher, it fails..
Is this happening to you as well?
I have a post from a couple of days ago about this problem.

Configuring the Destination URL for the Adobe Document Services

hi all,
I am going through the documentation for "Configuring the Destination URL for the Adobe Document Services " at :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/02/560f41ca73d349e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
I am not able to understand 7th step
7. Define the user name and password. To find out how to create the user name and password for the Adobe document services, see Creating a User for Basic Authentication in the document Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide. You can find this guide in the SAP Service Marketplace under Quick Link /InstguidesNW04.

Why do we have to create a new user for the server which is consuming the web service? We already have an user "ADSUser" defined for the Web AS server which has ADS services deployed.
I have opened this thread to solve the previous unanswered question I posted on SDN Empty area in place of Interactive form. .
One more thing the adobe print forms of ESS [Total Compensation Statement and Salary Statement] are rendering properly, only the ones with Interactive ability or not.
thanks,
Sanketh

Hello Sanketh,
1. To access the NW04s configuration guide,
 - Go to https://service.sap.com/adobe
 - On the left frame (tree), under Adobe > Media Library > Documentation
 - On the right had pane you will find the link to the NW04s Configuration guide
2. The link that you have mentioned below details the steps required to be carried out on the client machine that consumes the Adobe Document Services. In our case that is the j2ee engine on which your Web Dynpro application is running. It could be the same physical machine with two different j2ee instances hosting Web Dynpro and ADS or it could be two different physical machine or a single machine having a single instance of j2ee engine hosting both the Web Dynpro and the ADS.
You do not have to create a separate username and a password on the consuming machine but you need to configure the Web Service client proxy to point to the ADS (maybe hosted on a different machine) with the username and the password created on the ADS server. As you have mentioned, you have already created such an user on the ADS (ADSUser). This user authentication on the client machine (consuming server - Web Dynpro) would be required at the runtime by the j2ee engine to authenticate itself with the ADS.
Best Regards,
Krish

Error while loading service Document Services Configuration (NW 7.0 SP13)

Hello,
I'm in the process of configuring the Adobe Document Services. Now I've received the Certificate + Credentials from SAP which I requested as described in Note 736902. I try to install them according to the Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide which I've downloaded from https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/90355269-4d89-2a10-0bb9-f388704f1dcd. [original link is broken] I've copied the pfx File to /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/TrustManagerService/trust/credentials.
Then I started Visual Administrator and opened Server <x> → Services → Document Services Configuration. Here I get this Error returned:

A few questions regarding the configuration of Adobe Document Services

For Your Information: the main questions are repeated at the end of this post.
The Adobe Document Services seems to work fine. The test I did on http://<server>:<port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config gives the error
' "Required stream: "PDFDocument" not found. ' so that's fine.
But when I do this: http://server:50000/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/TutWD_OnlineInteractiveForm/OnlineInteractiveFormApp
The result: the PDF is shown and I can enter text in the textboxes and also use the radioboxes.
But I can't use the dropdownboxes, neither can I use the "submit" and "check" buttons..
Is this normal? Or is it because of the ReaderRights credential?
Or is it necessary to install the ACF?
Here is some info I got from a blog:
"Client Side Requirements
Follow the steps mentioned below. Please make sure the following prerequisites are met before working with Adobe Interactive Forms.
NWDS 7.0 / 6.0
Adobe Live cycle designer 7.1 / 7.0
Adobe Reader 7.0.8 [ Minimum : 7.0.1]
End User Requirements
Adobe Reader 7.0.8 [ Minimum : 7.0.1]
Active Component Framework (ACF) - SPS 9, SPS 10"
Two more questions;
1)This info is in the config guide:
"If you have installed the ADS and the WD runtime environment on different J2EE engines and if the communication between these engines uses the SLD, you need to publish the ADS to the SLD."
Does this mean that I don't need to do this when I haven't used SLD? Or is it necessary to install SLD?
Some more info:
Prerequisites:
A System Landscape Dir must already have been configured.
If you have not yet done so, perform the necessary activities according to the documentation SAP System Landscape Directory, Administrative Activities section, chapters:
Start and stop the SLD Service
Configure the SLD Server
Configure data persistence
Make settings for the SLD bridge
You can find this documentation by calling the following URL in your web
browser: http://<host>:<port>/sld
When I check this URL, I don't see anything concerning an (already configured) SLD.
2) Do I need the license below too to develop in AIF?
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_bc_srv/~form/handler%7b5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d373530373834%7d
Main questions----
I need to create a form with a few fields (of which some fields are mandatory); then I have to use a few BAPI's to check these fields and to save the content in a CRM system.
I've installed Netweaver Sneak Preview, and configured Adobe Document Services (made ADSUser & ADSCaller, set IIOP etc to Autostart, Installed the credentials). The tests seem to work fine, but I haven't developed anything yet.
My questions:
1)Is it necessary to install the ACF?
2)Is it necessary to install Adobe LifeCycle Designer?
3)Also SLD?
4)Also the license described above?

No one?
Some questions are answered by someone else.
-The SLD is okay, it doesn't need to be configured
-The Adobe Lifecycle Designer is automatically installed when installing the Netweaver Studio Sneak Preview SP16
Just two more questions:
1)when I open http://server:port/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/TutWD_OnlineInteractiveForm/OnlineInteractiveFormApp
The PDF is shown but I can't use the buttons or the dropdown boxes.
I tried to install ACF but I have NW04s SP16, and the ACF is only SP11.
So when I install that, it only shows a blue screen with "I am the placeholder control"
When I install ACF SP19 for NW04, the PDF shows again, but I still can't use the buttons or dropdowns. Is this normal?
2) Do I need the license described below?

Main questions----
I need to create a form with a few fields (of which some fields are mandatory); then I have to use a few BAPI's to check these fields and to save the content in a CRM system.
I've installed Netweaver Sneak Preview, and configured Adobe Document Services (made ADSUser & ADSCaller, set IIOP etc to Autostart, Installed the credentials). The tests seem to work fine, but I haven't developed anything yet.
My questions:
1) What about the ACF?
2) Also the license described above?

Adobe Document Services - http Response 500 - How to configure the logging?

We are building an application in Web Dynpro Java that fetches data from an R/3 system via an RFC connection and is then supposed to show said data in a pdf within an iview. For that task we want to use the InteractiveForm UIElement. We bind the data to its pdfSource in the iViewu2019s context. Currently the form only consists of a text field bound to one attribute element of the pdfSource context node.
The ADS webservice is configured according to the manuals found here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/fa/0b700d6cfd4e03a8ec2186ba6ff4af/frameset.htm
and tested successfully under the following link
http://<portal_host>:<port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config?style=document
However, when we execute the application, an error occurs in the webservice generating the pdf, namely Invalid Content-Type:text/html. The error occurs when the iView containing the form is shown for the first time, even before the attributes of the pdfSource context are filled with data (we expect to see an empty form).
As it seems the webservice is expected to return a MIME type of either application/pdf or text/xml (we donu2019t know for sure since the SAP manuals and forums are inconclusive here), but instead we get text/html. This seems to be due to the fact that the webservice exits with an http response 500 Internal Server Error (we used several network monitoring tools to confirm that such a response is sent). Since such http responses are but html files with an empty body, yet not xml or pdf, the aforementioned error does make sense to us, but we do not know what Internal Error has caused it.
The only help that SAP seems to provide for an error u201CInvalid Content-Type:text/htmlu201D in context with ADS points to an expiring password or otherwise poor configuration of the ADSUser, which (most certainly) is not our case here since, and as said above, the configuration was and can be tested successfully.
We then tried to view the logs for this error on the machine where the J2EE engine is running with ADS installed according to this (not very comprehensible) guide:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/de/97/ccfc3f0ac2c642e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
We cannot find anything relevant in the server.log of the Visual Administrator except this message (it is generated exactly when our error occurs u2013 the trace severity is set to ALL for all Adobe application elements according to manual):
Date , Time , Message , Severity , Category , Location , Application , User
12/08/2010 , 13:50:46:511 , application [webdynpro/dispatcher] Processing HTTP request to servlet [dispatcher] finished with error.
The error is: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.base.core.PDFDocumentRuntimeException: Failed to GENERATEPDF
Exception id: [0800274DA7ED00850000005B00000900000496E5919E28BA] , Error , /System/Server/WebRequests , com.sap.engine.services.servlets_jsp.server.HttpHandlerImpl , sap.com/tcwddispwda , Guest
There is no error.pdf to be found on the file system and since neither have we known nor are we told by the error message, whether the underlying cause is is a render error or connection error or configuration error or what not, we donu2019t know whether the error.pdf is supposed to be generated at all.
Or could there be any other reason why generation didnu2019t take place?
Furthermore we canu2019t seem to be able to find any logs more verbose or detailed about this issue - at least not within the Visual Administrator or the portalu2019s nwa.
How is it possible to properly debug the webservice for pdf-generation or at least to retrieve a fully detailed log containing all notifications and exception stack traces etc.?
I am assuming that we are making some basic mistakes regarding the logging configuration - but what?
Our goal is to know what causes the 500 Internal Server Error response that causes the Incorrect Content-Type exception.
We are using a NetWeaver 7.01 portal installation with Adobe Document Services 7.01 installed on a Windows Server 2003 platform.
Any help is highly appreciated!

Have you tried restarting the Java PDF object in Visual Administrator? Once you do all of your config, you have to restart the PDF object (sao.com/tcwdpdfobject) for the changes to take place. I am assuming you've run all of the test programs in SAP (FP_TEST_00, FP_TEST_03, etc.). Is there any chance that the ADSUSER is locked somehow?

Problems during ADSUser Configuration for Adobe Document services

Dear Netweaver experrts,
I'm trying to activate a Adobe Document Service on my local Netweaver 2004 WebAS sp20.
I realized that my system is missing the appropiate user and grups which have to be configured
using the Visual administrator and the Security Provider mask.
My problem is that I can't create a user or group in my Security provider mask. The Create user and create Groups buttons are grey.
So I don't know which settings are wrong on my system and prevent the creation of new users and groups within the Security provider configuration.
Can you provide any hints ?
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Danile,
Check whether you got the permissions to access Security Provider.
If you got the permissions then you will find the pencil button above runtime tab in that screen.Click on that and it will allow you to create users.
With regards,
Pradeep.B

Installing and Configuring Adobe Document Services For Print Forms

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 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 ?

Difficulty in configuring Adobe Document Services

Hi All
I have installed Adobe Document Services on a Java WAS 6.40 with SPS15. I have patched the ADS also to sps15. Now I am having a hard time configuring the ADS even though I am following the config guide. First of all the ADS shows stopped in the deployed application on the server. Please help. Thanks.
Pankaj

Hi Marcus
Thanks for responding to my Querry. I managed to resolve the problem in starting the ADS and further configured it to respond on the basic authentication. I now need to configure the SSL part. I am not too sure if the Config guide is very helpful. If you have better documentation for configuring the SSL on ADS it would be really appretiated. Thanks.

Adobe Document Services (ADS) Configuration

Hello,
I need to configure ADS for Form Processing (ABAP). However, I got the following landscape:
AS JAVA instance: Netweaver 7.01 (EP/BI-Java)
AS ABAP instance: Netweaver 7.4 SR1
Is there any restriction or consideration regarding this scenario? I mean, having an ABAP stack higher than the JAVA. Is it possible?
Regards,
JAM

Hi JAM,
Please find pre-requisite information in SAP help as below
Configuring Adobe Document Services for Form Processing (ABAP) - Adobe Document Services for Form Processing - SAP Libra…
Prerequisites
The AS Java where the ADS are running should have at least the same release as the AS ABAP.
Caution
The following functions for PDF forms require at least the ADS version on AS Java 7.20:
Parallelization of large print jobs
Stitching of PDF forms
Hope this helps.

Deepak Kori
