Hi

Check ADS and SAP RFC and again check ADS Settings.

Ask Basis to verify both the things

Check note: 874054

This is Pertaining to cPro 3.1

Also look at ADS config steps:

SAP NOTE: 944221

Check if ABAP stacks has connection to ADS to display the form. If not, Create HTTP Destination on J2EE where ADS is installed.

Hi Niranjan,

Thanks for the reply . But Basis and me went through the notes and ADS installation is found to be OK. Pls help me if I need to do anyother check.

Thanking you

Try the following:

• Do not enable the smartform DPR_APPROVAL_HIER for the project type, only enable the PDF print form.

• Make sure the ADS_AGENT user is configured properly: More help on note 813800

Hi,

Check with following Tests:

I ABAP:

1. Use transaction SA38 to execute the program FP_TEST_00.

Detailed information about this test program and about how you should then proceed is given in the Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide in the Help Portal under:

http://help.sap. com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/37/504b8cbc2848a494facfdc09a359b1/frameset.htm -> Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide -> Configuring the Web Service -> Securing Access to the Web Service ->Configuration Check -> Configuration Check for PDF-Based Forms in ABAP

o If the FP_TEST_00 form is displayed in the print preview, the ADS configuration is correct.

-> Check your application program that contains the call for the form, and the form itself, for possible errors See point 5 for further information.

o If the system displays an error message instead of a form, the configuration of ADS is incorrect.

-> Carry out the additional tests from point 2 onwards.

2. Use transaction SA38 to execute the program FP_PDF_TEST_00.

This enables you to check the RFC connection to ADS (see the reference to the documentation given above).

o If the system displays the version number of ADS, the configuration of the RFC connection is correct.

-> Proceed to point 4.

o You receive one of the following error messages:

1. If the system displays dialog fields for user and password instead of the version number, the entries for user and password in the RFC connection do not match the entries in user management.

-> Check the user and the password. Continue with point 3.

2. The system displays a "SYSTEM ERROR" with the following text:

"ERROR CODE : 100.101

ERROR MESSAGE : SOAP Runtime Exception: CSoapExceptionTransport : HTTP send returned with status code"

-> Contact your system administrator and ask them to check or correct the details for target device, service number and path prefix in the RFC connection (transaction SM59).

3. If the system displays an error message stating that there is no valid HTTP connection, then there is no RFC connection to ADS.

-> Contact your system administrator and ask them to correct or create the RFC connection (transaction SM59).

3. Check the user and password of ADS

Requirement: In order to carry out this test, you must know the user and password for ADS. If you do not know this information, contact your system administrator and ask them to carry out the test.

A detailed description about the procedure is contained in the documentation for the Adobe Configuration Guide at:

http://help.sap. com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/37/504b8cbc2848a494facfdc09a359b1/frameset.htm -> Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide -> Configuring the Web Service -> Securing Access to the Web Service ->Configuration Check -> Configuration Check for PDF-Based Forms in ABAP -> Checking the User and Password

o If the system displays the version number of ADS, the configuration of the user and password is correct.

-> Proceed to the next point (4).

o If the system does not display a version number (the page in the Web browser does not change, and submit continues to be displayed), the configuration of ADS is incorrect.

-> Contact your system administrator and ask them to correct the configuration for the user and password.

4. Check the settings for the destination service

To use the destination service on AS Java, settings are required on AS ABAP and AS Java. Therefore, this test contains several steps.

4. 1 In your ABAP system (transaction SA38), call the FP_CHECK_DESTINATION_SERVICE program (available as of NW2004s SPS 08).

a) First of all, execute the program without selecting the option "With Destination Service".

The system processes a test form in the background and displays the size of the generated PDF. It does not use the destination service in the process.

b) Now select the option "With Destination Service" and execute the program again. The system processes the test form, using the destination service.

o If the system displays the same message (file size of generated PDF) as it does in a), the configuration of the destination service is correct.

-> Proceed to the next point (5).

o If the system issues an error message, the configuration of the destination service is incorrect.

-> Carry out tests 4.2 to 4.4.

4. 2 Check whether the /default_host/sap/bc/fp and /default_host/sap/bc/fpads ICF services are active. (transaction SICF). If this service is not active, activate it. Note: As of NW2004s Support Package Stack 12, when you bundle in distributed systems (in other words, for "non-double-stack installations"), it is optional to use the fpads ICF service

4.3 Check the settings for the ICF service.

a) Enter the following URL in your Web browser:

http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/fp/form/layout/fp_test_00.xdp

< server> is the AS ABAP, <port> is the HTTP port of the AS ABAP. (you can determine this information using transaction SICF).

b) In the dialog box for the user, enter ADS_AGENT and the relevant password.

o If the ICF service settings are correct, the browser displays the layout information of the FP_TEST_00 form in XML format.

-> Proceed with point 4.4.

o If the browser displays an error message instead of the XML file, a configuration error occurred.

-> Check whether the user ADS_AGENT exists on the AS ABAP, and if the user has the required authorizations and roles (SAP_BC_FP_ICF).

4.4. Check the settings for the destination service on AS Java

a) Call Visual Administrator and navigate to Services -> Destinations

(detailed instructions are available on the Help Portal at: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/37/504b8cbc2848a494facfdc09a359b1/frameset.htm ->Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide -> Configuring the Web Service -> Securing Access to the Web Service -> Creating or Changing the Destination Service)

b) Extend the setting in field URLunder Connection Settings to:

http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/fp/form/layout/fp_test_00.xdp

(The <server> and <port> that are already available refer to the AS ABAP.)

c) Choose 'Save and Test'

d) The system calls the ABAP system that stores the form templates.

o If the settings are correct, the system issues the message: "HTTP GET response code 200 Content Type/xml."

-> Proceed with point 5.

o If the system issues an error message, the configuration of the destination service is incorrect.

-> Contact your system administrator and ask them to correct the settings for the destination service.

e) Do not forget to change the URL back to http://<server>:<port>.

5. Generated PDF with additional information

Call your form and save the generated PDF with additional information locally. You receive a PDF with attachments, which enable you to analyze the problem in detail.

Information about the PDF with additional information is available in the problem analysis guide (PAG) for SAP NetWeaver (TM) at:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/71/7ffb3f6c78ee28e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm ->Usage Type Application Server Java -> Problem Analysis Scenario for Adobe Document Services -> Adobe Rendering Error

Setting using transaction SFP

For more information about how to proceed if you use the dialog box in transaction SFP to set this function, see the documentation for SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe in the SAP Help Portal at:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/37/47a2be350c4ac8afe36b691203971f/frameset.htm

(You can display the document in German at: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/de/37/47a2be350c4ac8afe36b691203971f/frameset.htm)

-> SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe -> PDF-Based Print Forms -> Calling Forms in an Application Program -> Saving Runtime Information and a Generated PDF Locally

Setting using user settings

You can also use the user settings to activate the function "PDF with Additional Information". Proceed as follows:

1. Call transaction SU3 ('Maintain User Profile') or SU01 ('User Maintenance').

Note that you require the relevant authorization for the user maintenance of other users.

2. Choose the tab page 'Parameters', and enter the required parameters and values:

FPTRACELEVEL = 04

Setting the trace to the value required for the local saving of runtime information and for the generation of the PDF that contains additional information.

FPTRACEFILE = <directory>\<file name>

File for the local saving of runtime information This specification is optional.

FPSAVEERRORPDF = X

The system generates a PDF that contains additional information.

FPERRORPDFFILE = <directory>\<file name>

File for locally saving the PDF that contains additional information

Caution: Local saving is possible only for applications that have a GUI connection, and therefore, this is not supported for Web Dynpro ABAP.

3. These values then have a fixed assignment to the user.

Reset these values after troubleshooting is completed.

-> Attach these files (PDF with attachment) to a message with the component BC-SRV-FP, including a precise description of the problem.
