Creating a System Connection to Provider System

When calling a provider system, a profile has to be specified. Use the profile created and distributed in the Creating a Profile section. If the profile used in SAP Gateway system is not present in an SAP ERP system, mass configuration of the Web service proxies in service group is not possible. In this case, each Web service proxy can be configured one by one. You can create logical ports manually (see section Checking the Logical Ports you have created below).
