To maintain file port, please go to transaction WE21.</P><P></P><P>As of release 4.6, six port types are available.</P><P></P><P>- Transactional RFC (tRFC) : ports used for ALE communication</P><P>- File ports : used by EDI</P><P>- CPI-Cports : used to communicate with R/2 systems</P><P>- Internet ports : used to connect with Internet applications</P><P>- ABAP-PI : ports used to process data via the ABAP programming interface</P><P>- XML ports : used to process files in XML format</P><P></P><P>Note: For port definitions to be generated automatically, the RFC destination name must be the same as the logical system name. Port definitions are client-independent objects. The tRFC port used in the ALE process can be generated automatically when you generate partner profiles, or it can be maintained manually.</P><P></P><P></P><P>Regards,</P><P>Ferry Lianto</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 15 Oct 2007 19:32:15 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/port-creation/m-p/2913495#M685747 Former Member 2007-10-15T19:32:15Z
