Configuring: ADS to ABAP

SID is of S4HANA system
Maintain the connection URL along with port of http service of ABAP System.

Testing ADS Configuration:
Checking ADS Configuration in an ABAP Environment
1. Log on to the AS ABAP system.
- Start the transaction SA38.
- Enter the program name FP_TEST_00.
- Choose Program Execute (F8)
- Make sure, that the following default values are entered in the respective fields:
Form: FP_TEST_00
ADS Connection: ADS or the RFC Destination name specified in your system (if it does not correspond to the default entry)
- Choose Program Execute (F8)
- Enter the Output Device.
- Choose Print Preview.
- If the system displays a form containing several lines on two pages, the ADS configuration is correct. Otherwise, perform the
tests described below.
Checking the ABAP Connection to ADS
- Log on to your SAP system.
- Start the transaction SA38.
- Enter the name of the test report FP_PDF_TEST_00.
- Enter the name of the connection. Enter the default name ADS, or, if you have specified another name, the one you are using in your system.
- Choose Execute (F8).
- If the configuration is correct, the system displays the version number of the Adobe Document Services.
Checking the Destination Service and the ICF Service
- Log on to your SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP system.
- Call transaction SA38.
- Enter the name of the test report
- Execute the test without choosing the option With
Destination Service. - The system renders a test form in the background
without using the destination service and displays the size of the created PDF. - Execute the test again. Now select the option With
Destination Service. - If the settings of the destination service are
correct, the system displays the same message as before (see step 5).
APPLYING ADS LICENSE
Step 1: TCODE: SA38
now we have to apply the license.
In order to install Reader Right credentials, go to nwa (http://<server>:<port>/nwa).
Go to Configuration –> Infrastructure –> Adobe Document Services
Choose Document Security and then select Credentials.
Click on Add New Object and a pop-up will be opened.
In Alias, Select Reader Rights
Type should be P12.
P12 File should be automatically filled as we have already uploaded the file in previous step.
Enter Password for P12 file.
RESTART the SAP java application server.
Checking ADS is working or not.
Step 1: TCODE: SA38
SELCET OUTPUT DEVICES: LP01
SUCCESSFULLY FINISHED!
