Procedure documentation Creating or Changing the Destination Service  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

This procedure applies to SAP applications using print forms and forms in ISR scenarios, for example in the Business Package Manager Self-Services.

Background documentation

When processing forms between an ABAP environment and a Java environment, where the Adobe document services are installed, the Destination service is used. This service runs in the AS Java and facilitates communication and data transmission between the Java and ABAP environments. Communication between ABAP and the Java Destination service is enabled by the Internet Communication Framework (ICF).

In an ABAP+Java system, the Destination service is configured for basic authentication, when you execute the wizard-based configuration. You need to change or create these settings, if

      ABAP and Java are installed on separate systems

      you want to use SSL

      the service user ADS_AGENT in the ABAP system is not in the default client.

Prerequisites

      The ICF service on the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP is active. For more information, see Activating the ICF service.

      The service user ADS_AGENT was created and assigned to the appropriate role. For more information, see Creating the User ADS_AGENT
