Use

If you want to use XML DAS data archiving in the ABAP application system, you need an HTTP connection for the communication between the application system (AS ABAP) and XML DAS runs.

The HTTP connection is available across the system. However, you need to define the HTTP connection to XML DAS in each client of the ABAP application system from which you want to archive data using XML DAS.

Procedure

1. Define the HTTP connection to XML DAS

  1. Trigger transaction SM59 in the application system (AS ABAP).

  2. Choose Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Create End of the navigation path.

  3. Enter the following general data:

    • RFC Destination : Name of the HTTP connection
