The SSF Initialization FileLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use the SSF initialization file to configure the secure store and forward (SSF) parameters on the front-end computers.

The default name of the SSF initialization file is ssfrfc.ini and the file is in the same directory as the SSF RFC server program ssfrfc.exe. In a standard installation, this is the SAP GUI directory. Specify a different name and location with the environment variable SSF_INI_FN.

Optionally, you can use environment variables to configure front-end computers instead of the SSF initialization file.

Syntax

The format for entering each parameter in the file is a line entry with the following syntax:

SSF parameter=parameter value

Note

  • Blank lines and lines that begin with an asterisk (*) are considered comments.

  • If the SSF process of analyzing the file discovers an error, it terminates. The line where the error was found is recorded in the kernel trace (transaction ST11).

Example

The following shows an example of the ssfrfc.ini file.
