WSClient hostname info not configured correctly

[john_studdert]

Hi,

We're running a new ADS configuration on Netweaver 2004s SP16/Windows 2003/Oracle 10g. The configuration was done according to the SAP config guide and passed all the tests of the guide. However, when right-clicking on a report output on the portal and selecting "Print Version" it gives the below error:

Log ID: 005056AF106900630000007D0000183000048B41E7464416

Initial cause

Message: Service call exception; nested exception is:

java.rmi.RemoteException: The host of endpoint URL "http://<HOST>:<PORT>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config?style=document" was not found. Check if the WS Client is configured correctly. Probably endpoint URL is not set or use of HTTP Proxy is required.; nested exception is:

java.net.UnknownHostException: <HOST>

...

This is because the hostname is incorrect (unfortunately we're inheriting an old configuration on this server). I realise this must be documented somewhere but I've searched the SAP documentation, OSS notes and these forums without success in trying to find out where to edit the hostname parameter that's being used here. Can someone help point me in the right direction here? I'm pretty sure it's just a simple matter of an old config parameter that needs to be updated.

Thanks,

John

Hi, I've resolved this issue now with the help of SAP who eventually got back to my customer message. The piece of config that needed to be updated isn't mentioned in the standard config guide for some reason but is listed here:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/4f/a00d41921bf023e10000000a155106/frameset.htm

On the Web Services tab page in the right frame, select Security Configuration / Web Service Clients / sap.com / tcwdpdfobject / com.sap.tc.webdynpro.adsproxy.AdsProxy*ConfigPort_Document.
