You need to specify where the SAP system alias should point to. Depending on the SAP Gateway content scenario and your system landscape you thus set up the system alias. The system alias is the result of the routing for an inbound request on SAP Gateway. It can be a remote or a local system. If that system alias is flagged as a Local SAP Gateway instance, it means that the system that is responsible for processing (managing and storing) the data of an inbound request is the local SAP Gateway instance itself.
In transaction SPRO open the SAP Reference IMG and navigate to: and click on the Activity icon.
Choose New Entries.
Enter the following details for the SAP system alias:

Local SAP GW |
The system that is responsible for processing (managing and storing) the data of an inbound request is the local SAP Gateway instance itself. This option is typically used for testing scenarios, for example when using the BOR Generator locally. If you activate Local SAP GW for a SAP System Alias called LOCAL the RFC Destination is usually NONE. |

The system alias is to be used by BEP. For more information, see the F1 help in the system and Hub OData Channel with IW_BEP Installation. |
