ADS connection

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have ADS configued on NW04 (ABAP+ JAVA) and I have a NW2004s Portal on another box.

Users on the Portal box want to use the ADS how we can connect the Portal with ADS by RFC?? or SLD ??

Thanks

Hallo,

we want to user one ADS on a separate server and want to connect 5 SAP Server. Is it possible? Or must we have then 5 Server for ADS too.

If we need only one ADS, has anybody a description, what we have to do for this?

Thanks,

Thomas

Hi Momo

just to be sure: The connection from the Portal box to the ADS/2004s box as such will not help your users much. Someone would need to actually deploy a Web Dynpro application with a PDF form on the Portal Java stack to use that connection in a meaningful way.

Thank you very much for the information.

I have done the necessary configuration on the Portal side.

Is there a simple test to verify if the connection is working.

I tried the test under

http://<portal_hostname>:51000/AdobeDocumentServices/Config

I suspected the return data from ADS but I get the data from the local Portal J2ee.

Please help.

Thanks.

Hi,

If you want to test the ADS connecticity for ABAP side, then there are couple of programs for that.

Program FP_PDF_TEST_00: When this program is executedm it returns ADS version.

That means the connection is working fine.

Program FP_TEST_00: A demo pdf-based print program, retuns pdf output when executed.

If you want to test the ADS connectivity for Portal side,

then use the link that you mentioned (http://<portal_hostname>:51000/AdobeDocumentServices/Config) .

Click and proceed the Test process untill you see the ADS version (some where in the output).

IF you are able to see ADS version, it means that the connectivity is fine.

Hi Ramakrishna

on the portal box I configued in VA the Web Services Security to point to ADS url which (ADS is located on another box)

but i use the following test

http://<portal_hostname>:51000/AdobeDocumentServices/Config)

the returned data cames from local portal not the ADS.

this url should return data from the remote ADS not the local one of the portal.

Thanks,

Hi Momo,

Strange!!! How come it is showing local portal data when you specified the portal host name that belongs to another portal (http://<portal_hostname>:51000/AdobeDocumentServices/Config))

Please try the following ways.

1). Instead of giving host name, give portal host IP address and try again.

2. Just add the portal IP address(that is located in another box) in the hosts file and try again.

Thanks

Hi Ramakrishna

Just be clear, here is a summary of our configuration

We have and ADS based on NW2004 intsalled in the box ads_hostname

And in another box we have a portal based on NW2004s installed in the box portal_hostname

We want to used the ADS from the portal, so in Visual admin on the portal we configured the Web service security to point to

http://ads_hostname:51000/AdobeDocumentServices/Config?style=document

We also updated the /etc/hosts of portal_hostname.

From the portal box

I call the test under

http://<portal_hostname>:51000/AdobeDocumentServices/Config

And the data that I get is not from the ads_hostname but from the portal_hostname I know that because the version returned in not the version of ADS.

Thanks

Hi Momo,

I think the system is working properly...

How do you confirm that this ADS version is coming from this portal box?

What ADS version you are getting when you run the other portal box?

Please cross check once again.

Thanks

Hi Ramakrishna

The answer is coming from portal box because when I run

http://<portal_hostname>:51000/AdobeDocumentServices/Config

I got :

versioninfo = 705.20060620101936.310918 and

Server: SAP J2EE Engine/7.00

and when I run

http://<ads_hostname>:51000/AdobeDocumentServices/Config

I got :

versioninfo = 700.20050511160951.198898 and

Server: SAP J2EE Engine/6.40

Thanks

Hello Momo,

- Start Visual Admin;

- On the cluster tab choose the server node;

- Under Services choose Webservice Security.

- On the runtime tab choose Web service clients

- choose tc~wd-pdfobject

- choose com.sap.tc.webdynpro.adsproxy.Adsproxy*ConfigPort.Document;

- on the Transport Security tab under Connection Settings choose Custom for the URL setting. Edit the setting --> enter your NW04 machine adres and portnumber.

- Under logon data choose basic and as user you set the ADSUser (username and password) of the NW04 machine.

Hope it helps.

Kind regards,

Maarten.
