4. Check the settings for the destination service
To use the destination service on AS Java, settings are required on AS ABAP and AS Java. Therefore, this test contains several steps.
4. 1 In your ABAP system (transaction SA38), call the FP_CHECK_DESTINATION_SERVICE program (available as of NW2004s SPS 08).
a) First of all, execute the program without selecting the option "With Destination Service".
The system processes a test form in the background and displays the size of the generated PDF. It does not use the destination service in the process.
b) Now select the option "With Destination Service" and execute the program again. The system processes the test form, using the destination service.
If the system displays the same message (file size of generated PDF) as it does in a), the configuration of the destination service is correct.
-> Proceed to the next point (5).
If the system issues an error message, the configuration of the destination service is incorrect.
-> Carry out tests 4.2 to 4.4.
4. 2 Check whether the /default_host/sap/bc/fp and /default_host/sap/bc/fpads ICF services are active. (transaction SICF). If this service is not active, activate it. Note: As of NW2004s Support Package Stack 12, when you bundle in distributed systems (in other words, for "non-double-stack installations"), it is optional to use the fpads ICF service
4.3 Check the settings for the ICF service.
a) Enter the following URL in your Web browser:
http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/fp/form/layout/fp_test_00.xdp
< server> is the AS ABAP, <port> is the HTTP port of the AS ABAP. (you can determine this information using transaction SICF).
b) In the dialog box for the user, enter ADS_AGENT and the relevant password.
If the ICF service settings are correct, the browser displays the layout information of the FP_TEST_00 form in XML format.
-> Proceed with point 4.4.
If the browser displays an error message instead of the XML file, a configuration error occurred.
-> Check whether the user ADS_AGENT exists on the AS ABAP, and if the user has the required authorizations and roles (SAP_BC_FP_ICF).
4.4. Check the settings for the destination service on AS Java
a) Call Visual Administrator and navigate to Services -> Destinations
(detailed instructions are available on the Help Portal at: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/37/504b8cbc2848a494facfdc09a359b1/frameset.htm ->Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide -> Configuring the Web Service -> Securing Access to the Web Service -> Creating or Changing the Destination Service)
b) Extend the setting in field URLunder Connection Settings to:
http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/fp/form/layout/fp_test_00.xdp
(The <server> and <port> that are already available refer to the AS ABAP.)
c) Choose 'Save and Test'
d) The system calls the ABAP system that stores the form templates.
If the settings are correct, the system issues the message: "HTTP GET response code 200 Content Type/xml."
-> Proceed with point 5.
If the system issues an error message, the configuration of the destination service is incorrect.
-> Contact your system administrator and ask them to correct the settings for the destination service.
e) Do not forget to change the URL back to http://<server>:<port>.
