Hi,

Port is the transfering point for the transfering system to the receiving system.

For receiving system it is receiving port and the trasfering system it is transfering port.

Hi,

Port defines, IDocs are transferred to another receiving system and how they are processed there.

hi

Port is the Logical representation of communication.

There are 4 types of ports

1)TRFC

2)File

3)R/2 (ABAP/4)

4)Internet

In ALE we transfer/exchange the data (SAP Data) b/w 2 systems ie only through RFC (Transaction RFC) we communicate with the other system.we use File Port to transfer Non Sap data b/w systems.

Tcodes :

Port Creation : WE21

RFC Destination : SM59

Hi Sajid,

1.Can we use File port for ALE?

2.We use RFC Destination(SM59) to connect To other system right ? then again why do we create port to connect to other system?

3.Please explain me difference between Port and RFC Destination (SM59)?

4.Do we have two different technologies RFC and ALE to transfer data? some are asking this question?In this question RFC and RFC destinations are same ?are there diffenrece terms RFC and RFC Destination?

5.As per me we use RFC in ALE technology right.Then what does meant by above question?

Hi Rama

As much as i know

1) Yes we can use File port for ALE. (Not Exactly sure how).

2) RFC destinations is used to connect to SAP systems.

And when two SAP systems try to communicate they use tRFCs.

3) The use of ports in defined in ALE layer of SAP. Different types of ports are used to send Idoc data.

4) ALE uses RFC Connections. An RFC connection should have an RFC destination for it to work.

Hi Sajad,

In general terms,

Port is the physical connection between recieving and sending systems.

Port can be defined in Tcode we21.

We use TRFC port for ALE connectivity
