Prerequisites

  • Yo have access to the AS ABAP that host the applications, which trigger form processing and to the AS Java, where the ADS are running.

  • On AS ABAP you have the debugging authorization.

  • You have the permissions to use the ABAP transactions SFP, SE38, SM59 and the SAP NetWeaver Administrator.

Context

When processing forms in an ABAP environment using Adobe Document Services (ADS) running on AS Java, you might need to analyze the following types of errors issued by the ADS:

  • Connection errors

    The AS ABAP could not establish the connection to the ADS.

  • Rendering errors

    Errors that occured during or after form rendering (e.g. PDF form cannot be created or form cannot be displayed properly).

  • Configuration errors

    The ADS configuration - especially the installation and configuration of the Reader Rights Credential - is not correct.

Procedure

  1. If the ADS report a connection error , check the connection from the AS ABAP to the ADS.

    ADS messages: Invalid HTTP connection, SOAP Runtime Exception, no message in case of time-out

    2. Analyze the returned PDF file and its additional information, to find out the reason for errors and warnings.

      If you have further questions to be solved by the support team, create a message under BC-SRV-FP and attach the PDF with additional information
