Forms are sent to Adobe Document Services (ADS) for processing. This function enables you to optimize communication with ADS by caching the form layout on the server where ADS is installed.

Note Note

There are two types of caching in ADS. As well as caching the form layout, you can also cache the processed PDF (for interactive forms). In the latter case, you can optimize performance on the ADS server since it retains a ready-made PDF that only needs to be filled with application data at runtime. For more information, see the Form Caching documentation in the online help for Adobe LiveCycle Designer (more details below).

End of the note.

Prerequisites

To use this function, you require SAP NetWeaver Support Package Stack 6 or higher.

Activities

You activate the caching function in the CACHING field of the FPCONNECT table. You can specify the value of CACHING by using the Data Browser (SE16). This setting applies to all forms in your Web AS ABAP. The following values are possible:

  • X (Caching activated)

  • - (Caching deactivated)

  • No entry (the default setting is used: caching activated)

    Note Note

    The table FPCONNECT also contains fields for controlling form bundling.
