ADS ECC6 and NW7.3 Java Concerns

Hi All,

Hopefully you have some insight, notes, experience or advice on assisting us on dealing with the following:

ADS Issue and background

We require a technical guideline to install ADS so that we can print our ECC6 output forms (ABAP forms) using ADS.

- We are currently running ECC6 EhP3 on NW 7.01, ABAP stack only

- We need at least ADS 9.x on NW 7.3 Java in order to meet all the requirements for printing.

- We are not ready/able to upgrade ECC6, eg. to ECC6 EhP6 on NW 7.3

What are the options/restrictions?

• Can we install NW 7.3 Java stack as standalone to host ADS, then get ECC6 NW 7.01 ABAP system to talk to ADS?

OR

• Since we are restricted to ECC6 EhP3 on NW 7.01, is the only option available is NW7.01 Java with ADS 8.x, which may not provide some of the functionality that we are asking for (eg. double sided printing?).

Thanks in advance.
