I am running ADS on Java and calling ADS from my EHP4 ECC system.

What are these accounts used for?

Documentation wasn't clear on exactly what they are used for?

Thanks

Hi

In general:

The ADSUser is used for basic authentication - JAVA side. The ADS itself is acutaly a webservice, and like most webservices it must have an authentication mechanisem.

The ADS_AGENT is used in the ABAP side in order to communicate with ADS on JAVA.

To be more specific - if you wish to create Adobe forms in ABAP the process is:

1) ABAP calls ADS on JAVA using HTTP connection in sm59 (which is using ADSUser in order to authenticate on JAVA side)

2) The JAVA returns results to ABAP using ADS_AGENT (to authenticate on ABAP side). You can see it in visual admin ---> server ---> services -->destinations ---> HTTP

Hope that it made some sense cause it is a bit confusing at first...
