Business Systems
Definition
Business systems are logical systems, which function as senders or receivers within PI. Business systems can be SAP systems or third-party systems.
Depending on the associated technical system, the following types of business systems are defined in the SLD:
· Web AS ABAP
A business system, which is associated with a Web AS ABAP.
A business system, which is associated with a Web AS ABAP, can play the role either of an application system or an integration server. An integration server is the central component of PI, which provides a framework for the exchange of information among various internal and external entities of a company. The integration server facilitates the interaction between the different operating systems and applications across internal and external networks.
· Web AS Java
A business system, which is associated with a Web AS Java.
· Standalone
A business system, which is associated with a standalone Java application.
· Third-party
A business system, which is associated with a third-party technical system.
Third-party systems are not automatically registered in the SLD. Therefore, you have to create them manually by creating:
● Third-party software components
● Third-party technical system
· Business Partner
A business system, which is a sender or receiver within PI and which is not associated with a technical system. Business partners are used for backward compatibility with PI release 2.0.
