ADS Configuration in Netweaver 7.

Let's Begin- There are 2 types of ADS Configuration-

1) Basic Authentication
2) SSL Authentication.
Here, I am discussing ADS Configuration using Basic Authentication for interactive Adobe Forms.

Prerequisites-
1) SAP Netweaver 7.3 As Java System (ADS should be installed).
2) SAP Business Suite 7 System

Profile Parameters-
1) Profile Parameter SAPFQDN should be set in both As Java and As ABAP system.

Process-

AS Java (Netweaver 7.3)

1) If UME is on As Java
a) Create ADSUSER as a Technical User in Identity management if it does not exist.
b) Create ADSCALLERS group in Identity Management.
c) Assign UME Role SAP_ADSCALLER (You need to assign this role only to users who need to access ADS). In my case, I
assigned this role to the ADSCALLERS group in identity management.
d) Assign ADSCALLERS group to ADSUSER in identitiy management.

2) If UME of As Java is running on As ABAP system

a) Create ADSUSER in As ABAP.
b) Create ADSCALLERS role in PFCG and don't assign any authorization to it.
c) Assign ADSCALLERS role to ADSUSER.
d) Go to Identity Management of As Java, there search for role SAP_ADSCALLER and add user ADSUSER to it. Go to assigned
Action Tab and search for adobe in available actions and add action AdobeDocumentServicesADSCaller to role and save it.

3) Go to SAP netweaver administrator (http://<server>:<port>/nwa).

Then Go to SOA. Under SOA, go to Technical Configuration --> Destination Template Management
Choose Create New Destination

Choose Destination Type as WSIL and enter Destination name as ConfigPort_Document

Enter URL as below:
http://<server>:<port>/inspection.wsil
Enter System name: <SID of As Java> and hostname: <hostname of As Java>

On next screen, Choose Authentication as HTTP Authentication and Select User ID/Password (Basic).
Enter ADSUSER and password as shown below:
Then click on finish. Now, destination ConfigPort_Document will be created.

Note: If you are configuring Interactive Adobe Forms then first request SAP to provide Adobe Interactive
form credentials and *.pfx file which you need to configure Reader Right credentials. In order to obtain
Reader Right credentials then please follow SAP note 736902.
4) In order to install Reader Right credentials, go to nwa (http://<server>:<port>/nwa).
Go to Configuration --> Infrastructure --> Adobe Document Services

Choose Document Security and then select Credentials.

 Click on Manage P12 Files. A Pop-up will be open where you need to provide path of *.pfx file that you got
from SAP.
Choose Upload. Now, your *.pfx file will be uploaded.
Click on Add New Object and a pop-up will be opened.
In Alias, Select Reader Rights
Type should be P12.
P12 File should be automatically filled as we have already uploaded the file in previous step.
Enter Password for P12 file.

Save this record.

5) Restart the service Document Service Trust Manager Service and then the service PDF Manipulation
Module for the changes to take effect.

In order to restart the service, go to Operations --> Systems --> Start & Stop.

Open Java Services Tab. In order to obtain list of services for ADS, filter the Service component Name
column by Adobe. Restart the service.

6) Create Destination FP_ICF_DATA_<SID of As ABAP> in SOA.

Go to nwa (http://<server>:<port>/nwa)
Go to SOA --> Technical Configuration

Select Destinations

Click on Create.
Enter Destination Name as FP_ICF_DATA_<SID of As ABAP>
Select Destination Type as HTTP. Click Next.
Enter URL of As ABAP system (http://<server>:<port>) e.g. http://abc.com:8000

Enter System ID and Client of As ABAP system.

On Next screen, Select Authentication as Basic.
Enter User as ads_agent and its password.
Click on Finish.

By this way, configuration of ADS on As Java side is complete.

As ABAP

Login to As ABAP system.

1) Create user ADSUSER as a system User in transaction SU01.

2) Create user ADS_AGENT as a system user in transaction SU01 and assign roles SAP_BC_FP_ICF,
SAP_BC_FPADS_ICF & SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION.

Note: Either assign standard roles or make a copy of this role to Z roles. If you are assigning standard roles
then make sure that profile of these roles should be generated.

3) Create role ADSCALLERS in PFCG and assign user ADSUSER to it.

4) Go to t-code SM59 and create ADS RFC as Type G.

a) In Target System settings, enter target host name and Service no. of your As Java systems.
b) In Path Prefix, enter- /AdobeDocumentServices/Config?style=rpc
c) In Logon & Security tab, select Basic Authentication. Then, enter user adsuser and its password.

Save the RFC.

5) Go to SICF and activate below services

/default_host/sap/bc/fp
/default_host/sap/bc/fpads

By this way configuration of ADS is completed.

If you face any problem during ADS configuration or during testing, Please check below SAP notes:

 Testing ADS Configuration:

Checking ADS Configuration in an ABAP Environment

1. Log on to the AS ABAP system.

2. Start the transaction SA38.

3. Enter the program name FP_TEST_00.

4. Choose Program Execute (F8)

.

5. Make sure, that the following default values are entered in the respective fields:

o Form:FP_TEST_00

o ADS Connection:
ADS or the RFC Destination name specified in your system (if it does not
correspond to the default entry)

6. Choose Program Execute (F8)

.

7. Enter the Output Device.

8. Choose Print Preview.

9. If the system displays a form containing several lines on two pages, the ADS configuration is correct. Otherwise, perform the
tests described below.

Checking the ABAP Connection to ADS

1. Log on to your SAP system.
2. Start the transaction SA38.
3. Enter the name of the test report FP_PDF_TEST_00.
4. Enter the name of the connection. Enter the default name ADS, or, if you have specified another name, the one you are using in
your system.
5. Choose Execute (F8).
6. If the configuration is correct, the system displays the version number of the Adobe Document Services.

Checking the Destination Service and the ICF Service

1. Log on to your SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP system.
2. Call transaction SA38.
3. Enter the name of the test report
FP_CHECK_DESTINATION_SERVICE.
4. Execute the test without choosing the option With
Destination Service.
5. The system renders a test form in the background
without using the destination service and displays the size of the created PDF.
6. Execute the test again. Now select the option With
Destination Service.
7. If the settings of the destination service are
correct, the system displays the same message as before (see step 5).
