Configuration Check

I
➢ Go to SA38
➢ Test program FP_TEST_00
➢ If the FP_TEST_00 form is displayed in the print preview, the ADS configuration is
correct.

If the system displays an error message instead of a form, the configuration of ADS is incorrect
. The carry out additional tests. Go for STEP II
II
➢ Now check RFC connection to ADS by Program FP_ADS_TEST_00 in SA38
➢ If the system displays the version number of ADS, the configuration of the RFC
connection is correct. Then Proceed with III
Otherwise You receive one of the following error messages:

1. If the system displays dialog fields for user and password instead of the version
number, the entries for user and password in the RFC connection do not match the entries in user
management.

-> Check the user and the password. Continue with point

2. The system displays a "SYSTEM ERROR" with the following text:

ERROR MESSAGE : SOAP Runtime Exception: CSoapExceptionTransport : HTTP send returned


with status code"

-> Check or correct the details for target device, service number and path prefix in
the RFC connection (transaction SM59).

3. If the system displays an error message stating that there is no valid HTTP
connection, then there is no RFC connection to ADS.

-> Correct or create the RFC connection (transaction SM59).

III Check the Setting for Destination Service


III.1 In SA38 call FP_CHECK_DESTINATION_SERVICE
a) First of all, execute the program without selecting the option "With Destination
Service".

b) Now select the option "With Destination Service" and execute the program again. The
system processes the test form, using the destination service.

• If the system displays the same message (file size of generated PDF) as it does in
a), the configuration of the destination service is correct.

If the System issues error message carry out following steps :

1. Enter the following URL in your Web browser:


http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/fp/form/layout/fp_test_00.xdp
2. In the dialog box for the user, enter ADS_AGENT and the relevant password.
If the browser displays an error message instead of the XML file,
a) Call Visual Administrator and navigate to Services -> Destinations
b) Extend the setting in field URLunder Connection Settings to:
http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/fp/form/layout/fp_test_00.xdp
c) Choose 'Save and Test'
If the settings are correct, the system issues the message: "HTTP GET response code 200
Content Type/xml.".
Do not forget to change the URL back to http://<server>:<port>.

IV If you get the error FPRUNX004 while executing any of the above tests do the following,
1. Go to SE37
2. execute the function module FP_GET_LAST_ADS_ERRSTR
After you have called the FP_GET_LAST_ADS_ERRSTR function module, the system will delete the
text internally. A second call will, therefore, not return any results.
