Creating a Logical System for IDoc ALE Integration
Creating a Logical System for IDoc ALE Integration
Before PowerCenter can send and receive IDocs from SAP, define PowerCenter as a logical system in SAP. When you define PowerCenter as a logical system, SAP acknowledges PowerCenter as an external system that can receive outbound IDocs from SAP and send inbound IDocs to SAP.
Create a single logical system in SAP for IDoc ALE integration with PowerCenter. If you have multiple PowerCenter Integration Services in the PowerCenter installation, each PowerCenter Integration Service must use the same connection for the RFC server program in the
sapnwrfc.ini
file.
Perform the following steps to define PowerCenter as a logical system:
Create a logical system in SAP for PowerCenter.
Create an RFC destination for PowerCenter.
Create a tRFC port for the RFC destination.
Create a partner profile for PowerCenter.
Create outbound and inbound parameters for the partner profile.
These steps might differ based on the version of the SAP system you use. For complete instructions on creating a logical system in SAP, see the SAP documentation.
