Use

You can define a business system as a communication component in the Integration Directory.

Procedure

Proceed as follows:

  1. Decide how you want to address the business system.

    You have the following options:

    • Address as a communication component independently of a party

      You usually use this type of addressing for configuring cross-company business processes (application-to-application processes).

    • Address as communication component of a party

      Parties (with assigned communication components) are typically used when configuring cross-company business processes (business-to-business processes).

  2. Call the Wizard for creating the business system component.

    Depending on the type of address you have chosen, proceed as follows.

    The business system is created as a communication component in the Integration Directory.

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