   The Provider systems configured from SOA Manager have to be entered in the configuration of the Destination Finder so that during runtime, SAP Gateway can select the right provider system for a given system alias. This activity allows you to define RFC destinations that point to relevant SAP business systems. If an RFC destination points to an SAP system alias, that system alias will point to the corresponding SAP business system.

   Note

   Only RFC destinations of connection type 3 (Connection to ABAP System) can be used.
