Technical Background of ALE Business Processes

ALE business processes are application scenarios that use Application Link Enabling.

The ALE business processes in the standard system cover important application areas in which business functions and processes are distributed. They are preconfigured and are easy to use once the appropriate settings have been made in Customizing for ALE and for the individual applications.

ALE business processes are used for the following distribution tasks:

• Synchronizing Customizing Data Between Systems

• Master Data Distribution

ALE also allows:

• Connections to R/2 systems

• Connections to non-SAP systems.

Automatic tests in the CATT environment can check the quality of the ALE layer and ALE business processes.

For more information about the processes, see Library of ALE Business Processes.
