Hi Kalyan

ALE is a SAP specific method how to distribute data from and to SAP. It uses the asynchronous calls based on IDOC structures.

However in the distribution modell of ALE can also be used BAPIs. They will then automatically converted into IDOC structures. After creating the IDOCs they will be passed over to the receiver using the tRFC protocol.

Wheras the BAPIs are using the sRFC protocol.
