Hi

It is for entire SAP R3 not only for PS. ALE- Application Link Enabling

ALE is SAP proprietary technology that enables data communications between two or more SAP R/3 systems and/or R/3 and external systems. When a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution such as R/3 is implemented, companies have to interface the ERP system with legacy systems or other ERP systems.

ALE provides intelligent mechanisms where by clients can achieve integration as well as distribution of applications and data.

ALE technology facilitates rapid application prototyping and application interface development, thus reducing implementation time.

The ALE components are inherently integrated with SAP applications and are robust, leading to a highly reliable system.

ALE comes with application distribution/integration scenarios as well as a set of tools, programs, data definitions, and methodologies that you can easily configure to get an interface up and running.

Its application link enabling, its a technique to transfer data within SAP,

Here IDOC which contains the real data to be transfered .

For this transfer there must be connection betwwen source and destination client

which can be addressed by RFC (remote function call)

Similarly..there are other method to connect SAP to either SAP or Non SAP system...

XI-------SAP to SAP and Non SAP

CIF---- SAP ECC to SCM
