Creating an ADEP output connector

You create an ADEP output connector the same way as you create other output connectors in Design Center.

Setting	Description
Host	The host name or IP address of the server hosting ADEP. For example: localhost
Port	The port used by the ADEP server. For example:
Web service name	The name (case sensitive) of the service to invoke. This name must be the same as the corresponding process created in the Document Services Workbench.
User name	User name to connect to the server hosting ADEP. Used in case of basic HTTP authentication.
Password	Password to connect to the server hosting ADEP. Used in case of basic HTTP authentication.
Enable asynchronous communication	Yes – Make asynchronous calls to the service. This option is used when invoking long-lived ADEP services. No – Make synchronous calls to the service. This option is used when invoking short-lived ADEP services.
Asynchronous poll interval	Only used together with asynchronous calls. This is the interval (milliseconds) used to check for a response to the invocation request.
Root certificate for SSL communication	The root certificate used when HTTPS is used as web service protocol (secure communication). The certificate must be available from a resource set connected to the Platform.
Custom options	A list of custom keys (key-value pairs) to include in the invocation request. To be able to handle custom keys, the service must have a variable named optionsMap of the type map. All custom keys defined here will be added to the optionsMap variable in the invoked service. The values provided can be extracted in the receiving Document Services Process by using an XPath expression in the Document Services Process. Examples of custom keys are passwords for creating password encrypted PDF files. For example: Key: pdfpassword Value: encrypted
