Business System (Service) 

Use

To address a business system from the SLD as the sender or receiver of messages in logical routing, you must define it as a service (of type Business System) in the Integration Directory.

Prerequisites

The business system must be entered in the SLD.

To create the service, use the business system wizard.

Note that the name of a business system service comes from the business system in the System Landscape Directory that is it assigned to; the name cannot be changed in the Integration Directory.
