Use

The SAP List Viewer creates a PDF version of the table, optimized for printing. There are two ways of generating the PDF document:

  • Adobe Document Services (ADS)
    There must be a connection to an AS Java, with Usage Type BI Java (and thus also Usage Type EP).
    If you use Adobe Document Services (ADS), there must also be a connection between this AS Java and the AS JAVA on which ADS runs. See:
    Set-Up Web Service Destination for Adobe Document Services
  • SAP BI Export Library (SAP)
    There must be a connection to an AS Java, with Usage Type BI Java, if the AS Java has release 7.02 or 7.2 and Usage Type BI Java (and thus also Usage Type EP). See SAP note no. 1413938

If you have no AS Java, you can deactivate print version display, centrally. See: Maintain Web Dynpro ABAP-Specific Settings.

Requirements

To generate the PDF version, you must create a connection between the AS ABAP on which your Web-Dynpro applications run, and the AS Java. You must maintain the destinations in both systems. To be able to use the RFC connection to the AS Java, in the ABAP system, it must be specified in the AS Java:

Standard settings

Activities

Perform the following steps, to create an RFC connection to the AS Java, in the AS ABAP:

  1. Start the transaction Configure RFC Connections (transaction code SM59).
  2. Choose Create.
  3. Maintain the RFC destination:
    • RFC Destination: SALV_WD_EXPORT_PDF
    • Connection Type: T
      (for TCP/IP connection)
    • Description: <DESCRIPTION>

Entries in the Technical Settings tab:

  • Activation Type: Registred Server Program
  • Program: <PORTAL_HOSTNAME>_PORTAL_<SID>
    Enter the program ID which you used in the AS Java.
  • Gateway Host: <GATEWAY_HOST>
  • Gateway Service: sapgw<SYSTEM_NUMMER>

  1. Click on the connection test, to check your data.
  2. To check whether the connection is to the correct system, choose: Extras -> System Information -> Target System and check the field System ID.
