Services

Services are components that run on the LiveCycle Server that execute operations when requested by client software. Each service provides one or more operations that you use to represent activities in processes.

For example, the LDAP service provides the LDAP Query operation. When your process needs to retrieve information from an LDAP directory, you use this operation.

The Services view in Workbench lists the services that are available, organized in categories. The services that are available depend on the following factors:

  • The services have been deployed. You can use the Components view to deploy services.

  • Most services are provided by LiveCycle solution components.

  • Some services are included with Adobe LiveCycle ES4 - Foundation.

  • Processes that are activated are available to use as services. You can use these services as subprocesses within other processes.
