Adobe on iSeries

Hello Gurus,
i'm right now installing a NW 7.3 Java with the Adobe Usage type.
Does any of you have a "post Configuration/Processing manual" that I can follow to configure Adobe ?
One litle more question, in the old Adobe that I've (Double Stack Abap/Java) I could run some tests like FP_TEST_00 to check if the adobe was working or not, now in the 7.3 Java only how can I use similar facilities ?
Thanks & Regards
Jaime Esteves

Hello.
This question and its answer might be interesting for the non german speaking members of this community, too. So I made a short translation of the discussion. Not in every detail but it should be sufficient to get the idea. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask here. For future discussions I would like to encourage all of you to use english as the forum language. The members of this community are distributed all over the world and using english is the only way to get feedback from most of them.
Now to the question:
Mr Schulz is interested in using GTS on a system i. To use the Adobe Printing Services support in GTS it is necessary to set up a Adobe Document Server (ADS). At the moment ADS does not run natively on system i. The PAM states that ADS runs on DB2/400 using a windows server. SAP Note 925741 suggests to run an additional application server. The question is now if there is no way to run a ADS on a system i without a windows server.
The answer given by Mr Hölters can be outlined as follows:
In fact ADS is not supported under i5/OS. To allow usage of ADS without introducing a second database platform to your system landscape there is a solution given in SAP Note 925741. Instead of having a second NetWeaver installation on a different platform you can add an additional dialog instance to your application server running on system i. If this dialog instance is running under Windows you can install ADS there and don't have to use a second database platform.
With kind regards,

Adobe Print Services in Java Instance on iSeries

Comment by moderator: An english overview of this thread is given in an answer to this posting.
Sehr geehrter Herr Hoelters,
wir möchten gerne GTS on System i fahren. Für fast alle Module aus GTS
braucht man die JAVA Instanz. Das soweit ist wohl kein Problem.
Für die Adobe Printing Services brauchen wir die Java Instanz auch.
Nun gibt es wie unten aus dem Buch zitiert non supported Platforms.
Im Hinweis Hinweis 925741 wird eine Lösung mit einem zusätzlichen
Applikationsserver empfohlen.
Dadurch stellt sich raus, das wir doch einen zusätzlichen Windows
Server für diese ADS benötigen.
In der PAM kann man folgende Informationen finden:
Freigaben Adobe Document Services Datenbank-Plattformen DB2/400...
freigeg.
Datenbankversion Betriebssystemversion Datum Status
DB2/400 V5R3 WINDOWS SERVER 2003/IA32 32BIT 05.12.2005 Freigegeben
DB2/400 V5R4 WINDOWS SERVER 2003/IA32 32BIT 14.02.2006 Freigegeben
Bedeutet das jetzt das ich die ADS nicht ohne Windows Server nutzen
kann ?
mit freundlichen Grüßen
Carsten Schulz

All print forms in SAP GTS are available in Adobe print technology. If
you want to use printing functions the Adobe Document Server (ADS) is
required that is icluded in the delivery of SAP NetWeaver Java Stack.
Printing documents and forms can be necessary in the following areas:
- SAP Customs Management
- SAP Risk Management Preference Processing
- SAP Risk Management Letter of Credit

2.4 Running Adobe Document Services on Non-Supported Platforms
Adobe document services (ADS) are currently not supported to run
natively on all platforms supported by
SAP systems based on SAP NetWeaver, in particular on 64-bit platforms.
Procedure
To use ADS in SAP landscapes on non-supported platforms, install an
additional standalone AS Java on a
platform supported by ADS.
For more information, see SAP Note 925741.

Adobe Central on iSeries OS 7.1

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if Adobe Central operates on an iSeries at operating system version 7.1? We have Adobe Central 5.5 right now, running on a V5R4 machine.
Thanks!

Is this normal? Sometimes, yes. Will it run smooth again? More than likely, yes.
Keep in mind that you've just installed a new brain in to your phone. The way it's been used to doing things has just changed, so you have to expect some adjustment period. Give your phone a couple of days to adjust to the new settings. If, after that time, things haven't shaped up, sometimes just reinstalling the same (new) OS helps.
In the meantime, remove your battery while your phone is powered on then replace it. This will give your phone a little extra help.
I hope that helps you.

How can I automatically fill and save PDF forms from an iSeries database file withouth viewing PDFs?

We have incoming data that we need to insert into a PDF form then save an individual PDF file for each record from the database table for our Image system. Data is coming from an iSeries file and I can Manually perform all the steps within the process, but this needs to be something that we can run from a scheduled job and should be a totally hands off process. The form is in Adobe Acrobat and I've been trying some of the JavaScript pieces, but can't seem to get everything to run automatically. I'm new to PC programming and can use any suggestions on how to handle this process.

You might want to post this to the Acrobat SDK forum here. For it to work with Acrobat, it cannot be a completely automated process, however, due to licensing (and technical) restrictions. There are a number of third-party APIs that might help. If you post again, include what format the data is in (FDF, XFDF, XML, XDP) and what programming languages you can work in.

ADS in the Java stack of a Dialog instance on Windows + CI on iSeries

Hi,
I read the document "Using Adobe Document Services with SAP on IBM DB2 for i5/OS".
Summary of the document -
There are two possible technical scenarios:
1. ADS in the Java stack of a Dialog instance on Windows
1.1. ABAP+Java dialog instance on Windows
1.2. Java dialog instance on Windows
2. ADS in a SAP system on a supported platform
2.1. ABAP+Java central instance on Windows/Unix
2.2. Java central instance on Windows/Unix
The document recomammeds technical scenario 1, that is, install a Windows Dialog instance.
Choosing an ABAP+Java or Java system depends on the usage scenario for Interactive Forms:
- Interactive PDF use: Java mandatory, ABAP+Java possible
- Interactive use in SAP Maanger Self_Services/batching of forms:
ABAP+Java mandatory but Note 993612 describes the status for NW04s SP12 onwards.
End of summary -
Our prefered rechnical scenario is: "1.2. Java dialog instance on Windows" to minimice resources.
Our usage scenario for Interactive Forms includes "SAP Manager Self- Services".
Our interpretation of note 993612 is that we do not need double stack installation. Could you confirnm this ?.
If yes, we are going to install a Java Dialog instance on Windows connected to our Java Central instance on iSeries (our SAP Portal system) to use ADS.
Best regards.

Hello Torrell,
your statements sound reasonable, also including SAP Note 993612.
To decide, though, whether a single stack would be enough (especially based on the aforementioned note), you will need the advise of an ADS application expert (or someone else who has implemented your scenario, independent of the platform).
I thus assume that you will not get an answer in this forum. Your question is ADS application specific.
When you know for sure that a single stack will be enough, your approach to use a Windows dialog instance will be fine.
Best regards, Barbara

Running Adobe Document Services

Hello,
We are looking at a project that will require the use of Adobe Interactive forms. In looking at the requirements for this, I see that we need to run the Adobe Document Services (ADS). The ADS runs on the SAP Java AS. In reviewing the SAP Product Availability Matrix (PAM) it looks like running the ADS on the iSeries platform is not available. I am curious if anyone else on this group uses Adobe Document Services and if so, what does your system landscape look like to run this?
Best regards,
Russ Cook

Hi Russ.
If you search this forum you will find several threads dealing with ADS on IBM i. In addition to that I would like to point to our [community homepage|SAP on DB2 for i] where you will find a [whitepaper about ADS on IBM i|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50a2b40c-4c03-2a10-b289-84b9fae53095].

Do I need a .tdf if I have an iSeries .prtf defined?

Hello
I have created an overlay (.mdf) that simply has boxes and lines on it, no fields specified. I have an iSeries print file that has been used to merge data onto this form in an old version of JetForms Server. In JetForms, the JFMERGE slaps the .mdf overlay onto the iSeries print file so everything prints where it should on the overlay form. Everything is defined in that iSeries print file.
Can I do the same in Adobe Central Server (5.5) or do I also need the .tdf to go along with the .mdf since there are no fields on it anyway?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Are there any other alternatives to Adobe software? I don't want to buy your products anymore because I don't like Creative Cloud.

I've purchased many versions of legitimate packaged and registerable Adobe software in the past. But I'm afraid that I've come to the end of the road with Adobe because it no longer sells boxed software amd jas fprced a;; pf ots isers tp [ircjase Creatove Cpid/
Do any other users feel the same way?
Would you like to express your displeasure with this policy?
If so, type your comments here.
Also, if others can mention alternatives to Adobe's software, it'd be greatly appreciated, as I'm looking for them.
Thanks.

I have had nothing but issues with creative cloud. The programs will not run properly, Its been two months and neither Adobe or I can figure out what is going on. About the only option I have left is to format my hard drive and try on a fresh Windows install. Talk about a waste of money.

Iseries V6r1 support - is this planned?

HI All,
Could anyone guide me for when and if support for IBM DB2/UDB for iSeries 6.1 will be introduced?
Which Version of Business Objects?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Ram!
Without any doubt we need the support for automation testing for new Spark components.
Our QA team owns multi-seat license for Mercury QTP automated testing solution, they wrote thousands of lines in Visual Basic alike script to test both our application made with Flex 3 SDK and plain HTML.
I personally wrote a few automation delegates for our custom components that extend from UIComponent and also I use a few monkey patches for existing automation delegates from Flex 3.3 SDK to fix issues for myself:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXENT-821 , duplicate : http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-20349
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXENT-1016
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXENT-1012
If Spark components are not automation ready at the time of the release, I am afraid we will have to postpone immediately all development efforts to integrate any of Spark components into our application.
I acknowledge that automation testing of Flex components is not something that 95% of Flex developers are worry about (judging by the view count for this forum post), but for us, team of Flex developers of complex RIA applications based on Flex SDK targeted at enterprises - automated testing of the existing functionality at the client side is vital.
Please, if you abandon the plans to make Spark components to be automation ready till the time of the release, please let the know community immediately, it will help us to adjust our development plans.

Portals Implementation on iSeries

Planning a Portals/ESS implementation. What is currently supported on iSeries. What is NOT?
TREX will have to run on Windows or AIX?
I am trying not to learn and support other database platforms.
What customers are doing portals on iSeries?
Who is doing employee self service?

> Planning a Portals/ESS implementation. What is currently supported on iSeries. What is NOT?
ADS is not supported on iSeries, which is a big issue for ESS. In this case you have to run ADS on a supported platform as a separate instance.
Note 863872 - Adobe document services on OS/400
> TREX will have to run on Windows or AIX?
TREX 7.10 can only run on Linux or Windows, but more choices are available for TREX 7.00, such as Linux/Windows/AIX/HP-UX/Solaris, unfortunately iSeries is not one of them.
Besides, IBM classic and IT4J, two different JDKs are supported on iSeries for release 640/700. IT4J has better performance for sure.

FTP to iSeries produces no results?

I am trying to connect to an iSeries AS400. My connection completes properly and changes my directory to the appropriate library location. When I look at the FTP log I see all of the files in the list that I want to retrieve. But, those files do not appear in my Remote window so that I can GET them into my Dreamweaver site.
Please help!!! I've looked and called everywhere I can think to resolve my issue.

The question is best asked on the Dreamweaver forum. This forum is for Adobe Creative Suite wide issues, or installation issues for the Suite.

Enterprise Adobe Cloud

Is there any plan for an enterprise version of adobe cloud?

http://www.adobe.com/au/products/creativecloud/buying-guide-membership.html
Creative Cloud for organizations
Later this year, Adobe will release Adobe Creative Cloud Team, a version of Creative Cloud membership specifically for organizations. Until then, Creative Cloud Team Ready gives companies immediate access to all the CS6 tools and more, plus it serves as an onramp to Creative Cloud Team when it's available.
Volume licensing customers can take advantage of the Creative Cloud Team Ready offering through Adobe’s Transactional Licensing Program (TLP) which is based on a one-year term agreement and is available for purchase through any Adobe corporate resellers. Customers who choose this option will automatically be transitioned into Creative Cloud Team membership as soon as it becomes available later in 2012.
