hi Ravi

Aliases are names that system administrators define for each system they create so that portal components can reference these systems. They are a means of retrieving the information stored on database servers without having to know the name of the server.

In the SAP sense, a logical system is a client. Therefore you must first set up logical system names that you then assign to the clients in the SAP systems. there are so many logical system name, but only one will assign to client. when ALE or PI etc.,  we will use logical system.

As my opinion, Alias refer a system, logical system refer a client (one system have many client).

only care about where we use this two.

regards,

Archer
