Configuring Parallelization for Large Print JobsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

In case of mass printing of PDF forms in an ABAP environment, you can reduce the runtime of a print job by parallelizing Adobe Document Services (ADS) requests. Parallelization must be explicitly activated through optional API parameters and configuration steps (both by the administrator and the developer).

Prerequisites

Parallization of print jobs requires Adobe Document Services (ADS) installed on AS Java 7.20 or higher.

Procedure

Configuring parallelization

  1. To enable an application to parallelize ADS requests, in the functional unit FP_JOB_OPEN, set the optional parameter IE_OUTPUTPARAMS FIELD to 'PARALLEL'.

  2. In the SOA Manager, configure the logical port for the Web services relevant for parallelization.

    More information: Configuring the Logical Port for Using Parallelization

  3. For the RFC destination ADS in the database table FPCONNECT, set the logical port of the Web services.

Monitoring parallelized print jobs

As large print jobs are normally running several hours, you can monitor the current status of the print jobs.
