Procedure documentationCreating the Destination Service for Communication with ADS Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

This procedure applies to forms processing in an ABAP environment. The Destination service runs on the AS Java, where the Adobe Document Services (ADS) are installed and serves to facilitate communication and data transmission between the ABAP and the Java environment. The communication between the Destination service and the AS ABAP is enabled by the Internet Communication Framework (ICF).

In a double-stack system (ABAP and Java installed on the same system), the Destination service is configured for basic authentication, when you execute the configuration tool. You need to change or create these settings in the following cases:

  • AS ABAP and AS Java are installed on separate servers.

  • You want to use SSL.

  • The service user ADS_AGENT in the AS ABAP is not in the default client.
