Wizard-based Configuration for Adobe Document Service

To carry out the basic  configuration  steps required for Adobe document services,call the wizard-based configuration tool as described in Configuration wizard.

Only carry out the wizard-based configuration if your system  has never been configured before.

The wizard-based configuration for Adobe document services performs the following post-installation steps:

In an ABAP+Java system

•       Creating the User ADSUSER for Basic Authentication.
•       Creating the User ADS_AGENT.
•       Setting Up Basic Authentication - Creating  the  ABAP  Connection.
•       Creating the Destination Service
•       Activating  the ICF service.

In a Java system

            

       Creating the User ADSUSER in AS Java for Basic Authentication.

       Setting Up Basic Authentication in a Java  Environment

You have to carry out these steps manually, if

•       you do not want to use the configuration wizard.
•      your system landscape is not a double-stack installation, thus consists of different servers for ABAP and Java.
•       An existing AS ABAP is enhanced wit h an AS  Java (Add-in).

Afterwards, perform the manual steps for basic configuration.

After you have performed all  configuration steps,you can check whether the configuration is complete. For more  information  see,   Configuration  Check.

Creating a User in  AS ABAP for Basic Authentication

Use

When your system is an ABAP+Java system the user ADSUser is created during the execution of  the wizard-based configuration. This user is required for the secure communication between the ABAP system and the Java system where the Adobe document services are installed. You have to proceed the following

procedures manually when  your  syst em  is  not   an  ABAP+Java  syst em.

Creating  the User ADSUser

    1)   Logon to the AS ABAP with an admin user, in the client that is used for the UME authentication.

       2)     Choose Tools → Administration → User Maintenance → User (transaction SU01).

       3)     Enter ADSuser as user name and choose Create.

       4)     Choose system user as type for ADSUser.

       5)     Enter a password and save your settings.

Creating  the Role ADSCALLERS

        1)   Choose Tools→Administration→User Maintenance→Role Administration→Roles (transaction  PFCG)

              2)      Create a role ADSCALLERS (no authorizations required).The ADSCallers role in SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP appears automatically as the ADSCallers group in the NetWeaver Administrator.

            3)     Activate the role.

            4)     Assign user ADSUser to this role.

Assigning UME Role and Actions  to  the ADSUser

        1)    Navigate to http://<server>:<port>/useradmin to start the User Management .

      2)    Choose Role and search the role named SAP_ADSCALLER. This UME role was created during installation.

      3)     Go to the Assigned Users tab. Under Available Users, search for the user ADSUSER and press Add to assign this user to the role SAP_ADSCALLER.

      4)       Save  your  changes.

Creating the User ADS_AGENT

The service user ADS_AGENT in the AS ABAP corresponds  to the user you specify in the authentication parameters of the Destination Service in the ASJava that hosts the Adobe document services.

Procedure

   1) Log on to the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP and choose transaction SU01 (User Management ).You must specify this client in the Destination Service.

   2) Enter the name ADS_AGENT in the User field and choose User→ Create .

  3) Choose the Logon data tab and assign a password.You must specify this password in the Destination Service.

   4) Choose Service as the user type for ADS_AGENT.

   5) Choose the Role tab and assign one of the following roles to the user ADS_AGENT.

•       SAP_BC_FP_I CF ,

If AS ABAP and AS Java (with ADS) are on the same system (Double-Stack or Java Add-I n).

•       SAP_BC_FPADS_I CF ,

If AS ABAP and AS Java (with ADS) are on different systems.This distinction is for performance reasons. You may copy the required role first. For more information, see Changing Standard Roles in the SAP Library.

  6)  Save the data.

  7)  Create or change the Destination Service

Setting Up Basic Authentication - Creating the ABAP Connection

Creating or Changing the Destination Service

Use

This procedure applies to SAP applications using print forms and forms in ISR scenarios, for example in the Business Package Manager Self-Services.When processing forms between an ABAP environment and a Java environment,where the Adobe document services are installed,the Destination service is used.This service runs in the AS Java and facilitates communication and data transmission between the Java and ABAP environments. Communication between ABAP and the Java Destination service is enabled by the Internet Communication Framework(I CF).

In an ABAP+Java system, the Destination service is configured for basic authentication,when you execute the wizard-based configuration. You need to change or create these settings, if

• ABAP and Java are installed on separate systems
• you want to use SSL
• The service user ADS_AGENT in the ABAP system is not in the default client .

Prerequisi tes

• The ICF service on the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP is active. For more information,see Activating the ICF service.
• The service user ADS_AGENT was created and assigned to the appropriate role. For more information,see Creating the User  ADS_AGENT.

Procedure

To change destination, proceed as follows:

1.     Navigate to http://<server>:<port>/nwa to start the SAP NetWeaver Administrator

2.    Choose Configuration Management→Security Management→Destinations.The system shows the Destination List, where the available destinations are displayed

3.     Choose Create.

4.     Enter the Destination Name FP_ICF_DATA_<SI D>,where < SI D> is your ABAP system,and choose HTTP for the Destination Type. Press Next .

5.   Under Connection,enter the message server(or Web Dispatcher) of the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP in the URL f ield:

                  http://<hostname>:<HTTP_port>

and in case of SSL,

                  https://<hostname>:<HTTPS_port>

               To display the host name of your SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP log on to SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP and call transaction SICF. In the main menu, choose Goto→Port Information. The information is displayed on a screen; Where the HTTP_port is specified under Services .

6.     Enter the appropriate client number of the system,where the service user ADS_AGENT exists into the Client field. Keep the other fields System I D and Language empty.

7.     Under SSL Server Certificates,choose Ignore server certificates and press Next .

8.     Under Logon Data→Authentication,choose Basic.

9.     Enter ADS_AGENT in the Username field and enter the same password as given for this user in the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP in the Password field.

10.    Choose Finish for saving the data.

11.     Check the settings of the Destination Service. For more information, see the last section in Checking the Destination Service and the ICF Service.

Activating the ICF service

Use

The communication between the Destination Service of the SAP Web AS Java and the SAP Web AS ABAP uses the Internet Communication Framework.You have to activate the corresponding service,if this is not done so far.

Procedure

1.     Logon to your SAP Web AS ABAP system

2.     Choose transaction SICF.

3.     Choose default_host→sap→bc→fp in the tree.

4.     Choose Service/Virt. Host→Activate

5.     If AS ABAP and AS Java(with ADS) are installed in different systems,and you want to bundle your forms to improve performance, you also have to activate the fpads ICF service.

Result

The ICF service is now active.
