The integration technology Application Link Enabling (ALE) is an important middleware tool in SAP’s Business Framework Architecture (BFA). BFA is a component-based architecture enabling software components from SAP and from other software vendors to communicate and be integrated with each other. ALE can integrate business processes between SAP systems and non-SAP systems as well as between SAP systems.Data is exchanged between applications and remains consistent in all applications.
ALE is SAP proprietary technology that enables data communications between two or more SAP R/3 systems and/or R/3 and external systems. When a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution such as R/3 is implemented, companies have to interface the ERP system with legacy systems or other ERP systems.
ALE provides intelligent mechanisms where by clients can achieve integration as well as distribution of applications and data.
ALE technology facilitates rapid application prototyping and application interface development, thus reducing implementation time.
The ALE components are inherently integrated with SAP applications and are robust, leading to a highly reliable system.
ALE comes with application distribution/integration scenarios as well as a set of tools, programs, data definitions, and methodologies that you can easily configure to get an interface up and running.
IDoc (Intermediate Document) is a standard SAP document format. IDocs enable the connection of different application systems using a message-based interface. The use of IDocs has three main aims:
Structured exchange and automatic posting of application documents. Reduction of the varying complex structures of different application systems to one simple structure. For example, the structure of an SAP application document and the structure of the corresponding EDI message according to the UN/EDIFACT standard.
Detailed error handling before the data is posted in the application.
IDocs can be regarded and defined on two levels: On a technical level and on an application level. The technical level enables the support of cross-application functions such as routing and technical error handling.
