Why specify Integration server when create Business system?

[Former Member]

Hi, all:

I had difficult understanding why we need to specify the assigned Integration Server when we create Business System. What is the reason for this? What is the mechanism underbeneath this?

It is easy to understand that when creating BS, you need to specify TS name, product and SWCV. But why integration server?

Will you please explain to what your understanding it regarding this topic?

Thanks,

This is because the same SLD could be used to connect to more than one Integration Server. This is a typical requirement wherein the system landscape has Dev, Quality & Production systems and all the XI servers uses same SLD. At that time it would be easy to specify which Business system will refer the Integration Server of which XI system.
