Hi,

A logical system is used to identify an individual client in a system, for ALE communication between SAP systems.

We define all communication in ALE as links between logical systems. A logical system is a system containing applications that are coordinated to work with one set of data. A logical system can be:

A specific client on a specific SAP system

A non-SAP system

A file-based interface

Since logical systems are the basis of all ALE configurations, the ability to define them should be restricted to as few people as possible

In the business service go to the menu Business Service --> Adapter Specific Identifiers and add the Logical System name

Creation of Logical system: TCODE : BD54

if useful reward points

Logical system is the system + client number

for example take a dev system, and imagine there are 10 clinets on that sys... 800, 810, 080.....

then we can have those many logical systems...

dev800, dev810, dev080.... are different logical systems.

This is usually the case, but only by custom. You can call your logical system anything you like.
