Service User for Internal Communication

These service users are used for internal communication between PI components, which is usually triggered by the interaction of dialog users. The service user provide dialog-free access to the involved PI components.

For an overview of the internal communication within a PI landscape, see Communication .

The following general principles apply for internal communication:

• Each PI component that communicates with other PI components identifies itself by means of a dedicated service user. Therefore, each required service user must be created in each target component.

• The name, password and language of all the service user are defined in the exchange profile. The passwords are stored in the ABAP secure store.

• This service user has all the necessary authorizations to access the required services on the addressed PI components.

For each component, service user representing the respective components are created with the appropriate roles in the target components during basic configuration. The passwords of the service user have to be defined during the basic configuration process.

The following table shows user that must be available in the corresponding PI components (standard SAP NetWeaver PI installation).
