Configuration of ADS

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am creating interactive form (transaction SFP) but when I am trying to activate it, it gives an error saying " Invalid HTTP connection: ADS', so I checked the ADS connection using program 'FP_PDF_TEST_00’ where it throws error "Invalid HTTP connection: ADS, No version information available". So I think I need to install and configure ADS on client's network, so can anyone tell me the steps to do the same. I have gone through 'Configuration Guide' but still not able to install ADS.

I cant find a connection type c...

[matthias_maier2]

You can build a new connection type with this type. You just have to write 'C' into the field "Connectiontype"

But, I'm sure that you have to use connection type 'G' and not 'C' !!

I am making ADS connection in SM59, but got confuse:

1/ The current system has installed J2EE engine and NetWaver, but I do not know wether ADS included in this installation. How to check this ?

2/ Where is Visual Admin ? How to run it?

3/ How to find Number and Port of J2EE engine ?

I am new in config J2EE engine, please help me.

Hi,

To use the ConfigTool you need to browse the following directory on your J2EE:

usrsap<SAPSID><instance_name>j2eeconfigtool.bat

To start the VisualAdmin execute this *.bat file:

usrsap<SAPSID><instance_name>j2eeadmingo.bat

http://<yourJ2EE>.<yourDomain>.com:50100

Please use the configuration guide, it might be helpful!

Hi shilpa

Try checking whether your ICF services fp and fpads is active or not.

you can do this with SICF.

Hi Shilpa,

you need to check your http connection to external server.

Go to transaction SM59.

In cathegory "technical settings" you have to enter the destination (your J2EE engine) and the Serviceno. (HTTP Port of the J2EE Engine)

As pathprefix choose: /AdobeDocumentServices/Config?style=rpc

In cathegory "logon & security" you have to enter the user: adsuser pw: <adsuser_password>

save and test your settings.

On the J2EE engin you'll have to create a new destination

Log on to Visual Admin, go to "Destinations" an then set up a new http connection to your abap system.

(its described in the configuration guide)

To test your settings you can got to transaction SA38 and use

FP_CHECK_HTTP_DATA_TRANSFER

FP_CHECK_DESTINATION_SERVICE

best regards,

Matthias
