Basic question on Adobe document services

[Former Member]

Hi

We have a ECC50 instance - the basis component of which has been given to us from our headquarters that has stripped off the J2EE server ( i.e given a WAS640 with just the ABAP runtime installed ).

Now, we are planning to use Adobe Interactive forms - for simple applications - like our field sales able to create a sales order by entering data -offline and submitting it to our ECC50 box.

Now, question is - the ADS - that provides runtime services - does it need a J2EE server - or can I assume that this version of our ECC50 has ADS installed on the ABAP stack - and we still go ahead and plan using Adobe Interactive Services assuming that ADS ( PDF document object )would be available to our ABAP environment to process a PDF form that comes in from field sales ?

Thanks in advance for answering this very basic question.

Hello Karthik,

the ADS only runs on the Java stack, so yes you will need to have SAP Web AS Java installed to deploy and run Interactive Forms.

The functionality of ADS can then be accessed both from Java and ABAP applications.
