CAN ADS BE INSTALLED ON ANY JAVA INSTANCE

[Former Member]

If I have ECC 6.0 installed with ABAP only, can I install ADS on another system with Java installed to be used with ECC60 or does it need to be in the same system to work. Only looking for PDF output and display of HR reports.

Thanks,

Tania

Tania,

Technically yes you can. In such a case you need to publish the ADS to the SLD. Please look at the section 3.4 of the ADS config guide for 2004

Publishing the Adobe Document Services to the System Landscape Directory

This procedure applies only if you have installed the Adobe document services and the Web Dynpro runtime environment on different J2EE Engines and if the communication between these engines uses the System Landscape Directory (SLD).

Prerequisite

A System Landscape Directory (SLD) must be already configured.

If not already done, perform the necessary activities according to the documentation SAP System Landscape Directory, section Administrative Activities, chapter:

• Start and stop the SLD service

• Configure the SLD server

• Configure data persistence

• Make settings for the SLD bridge

You can find this documentation by calling the following URL in your web browser (you must have a SLD administrator account):

http://<host>:<HTTP_port>/sld

where <host> is the host name of the SLD host and <HTTP_port> is the HTTP port of the SAP J2EE engine (The following naming convention applies: 5<J2EE_instance_number>00. 50000, for example, if your J2EE instance is 00).

Thanks!

Surya.
