Testing the SSF Installation

After installing SSF, you can use reports SSF01 and SSF02 to make sure that the security product has been installed correctly.

Context

Procedure

In ABAP: Program Execution (transaction SA38), execute the SSF test report.

Use SSF01 to test the frontend installation and SSF02 to test the installation on the application server.
Select the Determine version function and choose (Execute).

To test the version for a specific security product, enter the name of the product (as specified in the profile parameter ssf<n>/name) under Further options in the Security product (only AS) field.

Note
The other options and fields are not relevant for this test.

Results

The system displays the results of the test. If the test was successful, the system displays the return code SSF_API_OK and version information about the security product. On the front end, it also displays the version of the SSF RFC server program. If the system encountered an error, it displays the error information.

Table 1: SSF Test Report Error Codes
Error Code	Affects	Definition	What to Do
`SSF_API_OK`	Front end Application server	No error occurred.	Nothing.
`SSF_RFC_ERROR`	Application server	RFC destination is not correctly defined or the system cannot start the SSF RFC server program ssfrfc.exe.	Start Configuration of RFC Connections (transaction SM59). Make sure the RFC destination SAP_SSFATGUI is defined as a TCP/IP destination. Test the connection in transaction SM59. Make sure that the file ssfrfc.exe exists in the correct location. (In a standard installation, it should be located in the SAP GUI directory.)
`SSF_API_NO_SECTK`	Front end Application server	The security product is not installed correctly.	Make sure that SSF_LIBRARY_PATH (or ssf/ssfapi_lib) is set correctly. Set the trace level to 1 and check the contents of the trace file dev_ssf.
