ADOBE DOCUMENT SERVICES: User for AdobeDocumentServices/Config

Hi Adobe Lovers,
I am still in the troublesome process of activating ADOBE forms in our development system.
First step was full installation of SAPGUI including ADOBE Lifecycle Designer
Then the RFC destination ADS was maintained although not proven 100% correct
Next they configured a printer for PDF - until recently we had only SAPWIN printer
I don't know what else the basis exactly did - they are working at a remote location administrating about a hundred systems.
Now, when I run test report FP_TEST_00 (or try to test my own form), a login popup for Ressource AdobeDocumentServices/Config comes up. Basis guy does not know why this comes and what user should be used.
And I could not find any related information.
Thanks for help resolving this, preferedly from people working with ADS.
Regards,
Clemens

Hi Otto,
same result with FP_CHECK_DESTINATION_SERVICE. In debugger I saw, that the http request sent with user as configured in sm59 ADS destination gets an authorization failure. As I have no rights and no access to java stack, I have to wait for basis people to solve it. But basis does it the first time...
I just dont get the meaning of "I recommend the users (machine users) used for the communication between the SAP-backend and the ADS webservices."
How to check what?

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.

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 ?

Configuring the Destination URL for the Adobe Document Services

hi all,

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

Adobe Document Services: How to upgrade from ADS SP 9 to ADS SP 15
But, it still does not resolve my problem. I also upgraded the version to SP16 and yet it does not resolve the problem. Can someone tell me what could be wrong?
Thanks for all your help in advance.

Hi,
All the form-related services have to be started first: the IIOP on dispatcher and server, all the Document Services *, PDF manupulation and XML form module.
Then you should be able to register your credential.

Adobe Document Services config in Netweaver 7.1

Hi,
I've had ADS running nicely in a Netweaver 7.0 environment. To set it up I used the excellent config guide for 7.0 (2004s) which references setup in Visual Administrator.
We've recently upgraded to PI 7.1 and I'm trying to perform the set up in the NWA, which is of course vastly different to Visual Administrator. Has anybody found a configuration guide for Adobe Document Services in a Netweaver 7.1 environment ??
Regards and thanks,
Guy

Java startup property for Adobe document services

Hi guyz, since a while i'm facing a random issue when i generate pdf. All the configuration has been done, but when look at in configtool i see a missing parameter:
-Dorg.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializerClass.com.sap.engine. services.ts.jts.ots.PortableInterceptor.JTSInitializer
Because it's in the recommendation parameter guide i guess it should be in, but someone can tell what those parameter deals about ?

Hi,
Yes, this service is mandatory if you want to use Adobe document service. It should be set for all server nodes in the config tool. This is Java startup property for Adobe document services. Without this parameter adobe service will not start as a result you will not be able to open adobe documents.
Thanks
Sunny

Is Adobe Credentials file always needed for Adobe Document Services

Hi,
We are setting up Adobe Document Services in our SAP ME 6.0 Environment.
We are getting this error in Default trace file when printing an adobe template:
"Unable to locate any credential aliases associated with CS credential
alias: ReaderRights"
In the help for ME 6.0 chapter "Setting up printing" it is stated that you install a credential file. But according to SAP Note 736902
you should only need the credentials file if you are running interactive forms, which we are not. We only want to print a PDF template which we have mapped against the file created from SAP ME.
Can anyone help me and tell me if I really need the credentials file or if I don't need it how I can proceed with setting up ADS without the credentials file?
Br,
Johan Nordebrink

as far as I was aware, you do need the credentials file

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

Hello,
we want update netweaver2004s to SP12 (delayed at 21.05.2007), when is
Patch for ADOBE DOCUMENT SERVICES 7.00 SP12 availaible?
Best regards
Oliver Prodinger

Hello Oliver,
ADS patches are released to an SP, when there is reason for a patch, e.g:
SP11 patch 1 contained support for x86-64 Windows.
We can not tell you yet, wether there will be patch for SP12 Version of ADS.
SP12 stack will contain SP12 of ADS as well, what is the newest available.
Best regards,
Dezso
