Creating a Destination 

Use

The communication between the archiving client (application system) and the XML Data Archiving Service (XML DAS) takes places through the destination service. With the destination you set up you determine the deployment scenario.

Procedure

In each of the application systems, go to the Destination Service integrated in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator (NWA).

       1.      Select HTTP Destination and choose DASdefault:

       2.      In the Connection and Transport tab strip, enter or choose the following information:

○       Connection

URL: http://<Host of XML DAS>:<HTTP port>/DataArchivingService/DAS

○       SSL Server Certificates

Select Ignore Server Certificates

       3.      In the Logon Data tab strip, enter or choose the following information:

○       Authentication:

Select Basic (User ID and Password)

○       Basic Authentication

Username: <XML DAS communication user ID created according to Creating Users and Assigning Roles>

Password: <password of XML DAS communication user>

       4.      Choose Ping Destination

This action should return Response Code 200, otherwise check your entries.

For the same system deployment scenario, <Host of XML DAS> can be replaced by localhost.

Whenever you change the DASdefault destination your system administrator must restart the cluster. As long as the cluster is not restarted, some functions in the Java Archiving Cockpit fail and all archiving sessions use the formerly active destination settings.
