Cluster Adobe Document Services for Failover scenario

Hello All,
We have ADS installed and working in our Dev/QA environment deployed on its own standalone Web AS Java. Going forward, we want to set up our production systems in a Clustered environment for HA/Failover scenario.
From the notes I have read on marketplace, it is possible to cluster a standalone Web AS java by manually clustering SCS and installing the java CI on one physical node(using local disk) and a java dialog instance on other physical node.
I would like to know once we have clustered the standalone java manually, will there be any difference deploying ADS on this java since only SCS is clustered and CI would be installed on a physical host???
Has someone already implemented this kind of scenario???
ECC5.0, WebAS 6.40
Database: SQL Server 2005
OS: Win 2003
Please help.Your replies will be greatly appreciated with lots of points.
Thanks,
Fahad

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 ?

Documentation for using Adobe Document Services

Hi,
Is there any documentation available on how to use Adobe Document Services? I have installed Adobe Document Services for Netweaver 2004. But I am not able to use the services as I do not know how to access them (is it like Adobe Document Services exposes a set of APIs/webservices and we have to call them? If yes, is there any documentation on the same?).
Thanks,
Vibha.

Hi,
I think the below mentioned links will give a clear idea about ADS Configuration.

Check MEDIA LIBRARY - Documentation link in this link.
And also check this link too...

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.

Adobe Document Services Architecture NW04s

All,
I am working at a customer that will be using Adobe Document Services for interactive forms.
The customer has several existing SAP applications but for this project it was recommended to configure the ADS on the SRM server (java stack is required)
What I need to know is the best practice architecture for the customers current needs as well as if they intend to expand its use in the future.
A)Should they have a centralized ADS server?
B) Should they have an ADS on each landscape? ie: one for CRM, one for SRM, one for ERP, in Dev/TST and QA
C)Can they have an ADS on their SRM server and share it with their ERP or other servers? ie: If they want to use ESS/MSS in the future
Any suggestions would be appreciated,

Interesting question, frequently faced in large companies.
The ADS can be shared between various SAP systems, (question c: yes).
So typically the same ADS server can be used for DEV and QAS environments, and one special for productive purposes (questions a, b, c).
Recommandation from SAP side is that the ADS should have the same SPS level as the other components (ABAP or Java) with of course same SP level for all the components for the J2EE engine where the ADS is running.
This the way the newly created forms are tested by SAP (questions a, b, c).
Knowing this, to have a central ADS instance is in practice quite difficult to achieve, so the answer depends on the architecture (number of servers, upgrades plannings etc.)
Keep in mind the sizing of the ADS: your architecture will also then depend of the usage of the ADS by the various SAP systems (questions a, b, c).
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Francois

Clarification on Adobe Document Service credentials

Hello,
I want to use Adobe Document service for printing of a non interactive document in a custom built webdynpro application. If i interpret the following threads on licenses of Adobe Document service in this forum correctly, my requirement does not need to have any license for ADS.
Re: License for read only PDF
Official statement on license fees for non-interactive documents
Adobe Interactive Forms license fees?
But when I am looking to the configuration guide of ADS, in once of the sections it says:
"Adobe document Services require access to a credential in SAP Web application server to assign usage rights to PDF documents."
and then is asks to install credentials using .pfx file on WAS.
Is this really required in my case? Can I bypass this step??
Kindly explain how can I go ahead with printing of non interactive documents?
Thanks & Regards,
Yashodhan Mujumdar

Hi Yashodhan,
in essence, your interpretation is correct, no additional license is required. For print forms, the setup should work without the credential.
(However, I haven't heard of a case where a customer didn't even want to evaluate the interactive features, so I have never heard of an installation without a credential...)
Best regards,
Markus Meisl

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.

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.

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
