Adobe Print Services in Java Instance on iSeries

Comment by moderator: An english overview of this thread is given in an answer to this posting.

Sehr geehrter Herr Hoelters,

wir möchten gerne GTS on System i fahren. Für fast alle Module aus GTS

braucht man die JAVA Instanz. Das soweit ist wohl kein Problem.

Für die Adobe Printing Services brauchen wir die Java Instanz auch.

Nun gibt es wie unten aus dem Buch zitiert non supported Platforms.

Im Hinweis Hinweis 925741 wird eine Lösung mit einem zusätzlichen

Applikationsserver empfohlen.

Dadurch stellt sich raus, das wir doch einen zusätzlichen Windows

Server für diese ADS benötigen.

In der PAM kann man folgende Informationen finden:

Freigaben Adobe Document Services Datenbank-Plattformen DB2/400...

-

-


freigeg.

Datenbankversion Betriebssystemversion Datum Status

DB2/400 V5R3 WINDOWS SERVER 2003/IA32 32BIT 05.12.2005 Freigegeben

DB2/400 V5R4 WINDOWS SERVER 2003/IA32 32BIT 14.02.2006 Freigegeben

Bedeutet das jetzt das ich die ADS nicht ohne Windows Server nutzen

kann ?

mit freundlichen Grüßen

Carsten Schulz

Depending on our process, it can be necessary to set up the following

additional instances:

SAP NetWeaver Java Stack

All print forms in SAP GTS are available in Adobe print technology. If

you want to use printing functions the Adobe Document Server (ADS) is

required that is icluded in the delivery of SAP NetWeaver Java Stack.

Printing documents and forms can be necessary in the following areas:

- SAP Customs Management

- SAP Risk Management Preference Processing

- SAP Risk Management Letter of Credit

2.4 Running Adobe Document Services on Non-Supported Platforms

Adobe document services (ADS) are currently not supported to run

natively on all platforms supported by

SAP systems based on SAP NetWeaver, in particular on 64-bit platforms.

Procedure

To use ADS in SAP landscapes on non-supported platforms, install an

additional standalone AS Java on a

platform supported by ADS.

For more information, see SAP Note 925741.

Hinweis zu IBM iSeries

Zusätzlich zu der beschriebenen Lösung können Sie einen zusätzlichen

Microsoft-Windows-Applikationsserver für die ADS im Java-Stack

einsetzen, wenn Ihre Umgebung auf einem IBM-iSeries-Server installiert

ist.

Hello all,

there is the note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/607141

the fact is, that even if you got no license for MaxDB (SAPDB) you will receive a unlimited license for an Java-only with usagetype ADS.

Meanwhile I have done this at a few customers (running SAP - Systems on IBMi but ADS on Win 2k8 64Bit MaxDB)

This is a better solution than using windows appls

Best Regards

correct,

we also use ADS on a separate WinServer with NW 7 with MaxDB

configured to work with our NW-BW 7.01 on IBM-i

Hello.

This question and its answer might be interesting for the non german speaking members of this community, too. So I made a short translation of the discussion. Not in every detail but it should be sufficient to get the idea. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask here. For future discussions I would like to encourage all of you to use english as the forum language. The members of this community are distributed all over the world and using english is the only way to get feedback from most of them.

Now to the question:

Mr Schulz is interested in using GTS on a system i. To use the Adobe Printing Services support in GTS it is necessary to set up a Adobe Document Server (ADS). At the moment ADS does not run natively on system i. The PAM states that ADS runs on DB2/400 using a windows server. SAP Note 925741 suggests to run an additional application server. The question is now if there is no way to run a ADS on a system i without a windows server.

The answer given by Mr Hölters can be outlined as follows:

In fact ADS is not supported under i5/OS. To allow usage of ADS without introducing a second database platform to your system landscape there is a solution given in SAP Note 925741. Instead of having a second NetWeaver installation on a different platform you can add an additional dialog instance to your application server running on system i. If this dialog instance is running under Windows you can install ADS there and don't have to use a second database platform.

With kind regards,

Hello,

sorry for posting in english first.

So I think now, that I know, what I have to do.

An Application Server on Windows, which uses the Netweaver Installation on System i.

So, I think for this little performance Issue, we can use a virtual Appl. Server.

Hello Herr Schulz,

we have the same issue, but unfortunately we do not get it up and running.

Did you get it to work in a satisfactory way ?

Did you install a dialog instance, or a standalone full AS Java installation with it's own database (e.g. SQL Server on Windows) ?

Which were the issues you have encountered ?

So far, I have tried the dialog instance approach, which has automatically installed double stack, but only the ABAP stack is working. The Java stack won't start.

Best Regards,

Dieter.

Sehr geehrter Herr Schulz,

der Adobe Document Server (ADS) ist nicht auf allen von SAP NetWeaver unterstützten Betriebssystemplattformen freigegeben. Wie im SAP Hinweis 925741 beschrieben ist es in diesen Fällen erforderlich, einen zusätzlichen SAP NetWeaver mit AS Java auf einem von ADS unterstützten Betriebssystem zu installieren. Wenn Sie SAP NetWeaver auf System i betreiben, dann würden Sie durch diese Forderung zwangsweise eine weitere Datenbankplattform verwenden müssen. Um dieses zu vermeiden, besteht für SAP NetWeaver auf System i alternativ die Möglichkeit, den ADS in einem zusätzlichen Windows-Applikationsserver in Ihrem bestehenden SAP NetWeaver zu betreiben. Bitte beachten Sie, daß diese zusätzliche Instanz immer die gleiche Topologie wie alle anderen Instanzen dieses Systems haben muß (bei SAP NetWeaver 2004s automatisch). Wenn z.B. die Zentralinstanz sowohl AS ABAP als auch AS Java beinhaltet, dann gilt das auch für alle zusätzlichen Dialoginstanzen des Systems.

Hoffentlich habe ich damit Ihre Frage beantwortet.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Christian Hölters.

Hallo Herr Hoelters,

vielen Dank für die zügige Antwort.

Was meinen Sie mit "Um dieses zu vermeiden, besteht für SAP NetWeaver auf System i alternativ die Möglichkeit, den ADS in einem zusätzlichen Windows-Applikationsserver in Ihrem bestehenden SAP NetWeaver zu betreiben." ?

Ja, wir betreiben das GTS mit Netweaver 2004s komplett auf iSeries. Ein Windows-Appl-Server

im

bestehenden SAP Netweaver? Ich stolpere hier besonders über das Wort

"im"

.

Vielleicht können Sie hierfür noch eine Antwort geben.

Vielen Dank.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Carsten Schulz

Hallo Herr Schulz,

ich meinte eine zusätzliche Dialoginstanz auf Windows zu Ihrem bestehenden System mit Zentralinstanz und DB auf i5/OS.

Mit freundlichem Gruß, Christian Hölters.
