Hi

Port defines the tech characteristics of the connection between SAP and the sub system

Also defines the medium in which data is exchanged between 2 systems

different types of ports are

tRFC -used in ALE

File port - used in EDI

R2 system port

Internet port - for internet applications

define the Portname,Description and version

and define the command file and Outbound and inbound files status fiels etc

Hi,

As you can see in we 21 we have different types of ports like.

TRFC,

FILE

CPI-C

ABAP-PI

XML FILE.

FIRST of all identify which type of port you want to create suppose you want to create TRFC then click on TRFC and click on create button. you can give your own name or it will generate a name.

for that port you need to specify an RFC destinatio,

which you can create in SM59.

this port you can use in you partner profile. While mantaining outbound parameters you need to specify which reciever prot you are gng to use.

Hi,

Ports are a logical representation of the communication channels in SAP. R/3 defines four types of ports viz. tRFC (transactional Remote Function Calls), File, R/2, and Internet. ALE can use all port types to distribute Idocs.

You use the port maintenance in the IDoc adapter to establish an RFC connection to the system that contains the metadata that the IDoc adapter requires to convert IDocs (Intermediate Documents) that have been sent to it to IDoc XML format. This system is defined by the sender port and the client in the IDoc control record. It is either the sender SAP system or an SAP reference system.

You must maintain a port in the IDoc adapter for all clients in each SAP system that you want to connect to the Integration Server using IDocs.

This is also the case for receiver systems if they are subsystems (non-SAP systems). Systems of this kind are defined using the receiver port in the respective communication channel.

Dear Ashok,

how can i createc a port in we21 and how can i use we21

explain in steps

Port: A Port defines the medium in which data is exchanged between the two systems in the ALE process, IDocs are transferred via memory.

1. TRFC ports are used for ALE communication.

2. File Ports used by EDI

3. CPI-C ports used to communicate with R/2 systems.

4. Internet ports used to connect with Internet Applications.

5. ABAP-PI ports used to process data via the ABAP programming interface.

6. XML ports used to process files in XML format.

Let us assume that we are creating port for our requirement for ALE.so we have to choose transaction RFc and click on Create. Now we have to give PORT name ( select own port name if you want to give user defined port name ) and press enter.

Now we have to RFC DESTINATION which is <b>mandatory</b>and description of port is optional.Finally save your port.
