Hi,

ALE is Ajpplication Link and Enabling. sending application from one sap system to another sap system.

LSMW: legacy system migration workbench: uploading large data from non-sap system to sap sytem, we use this tool. for example: large number of customers at the time of implementation.

Hi,

ALE:

Highly integrated and inter-dependent SAP and non-SAP systems require frequent communication, tight integration and (usually) high levels of data exchange. In order to achieve this interoperability, SAP has come up with the concept of ALE (Application Linking and Enabling).

The idea behind ALE is to provide a more rigid integration service while allowing a high degree of independence to the individual SAP. Manage of business information across SAP and non-SAP systems. Applications are integrated by using synchronous and asynchronous communication without implementing a central database.

LSMW:

LSMW an abbreviation for Legacy System Migration Workbench is a tool in SAP which is used to migrate Legacy data into SAP. It is a very important tool and easy to learn and master it. LSMW has a recording tool which can record the transaction and the fields to be uploaded. Thus upload of master data and transaction data is made very simple in this tool. You can use this tools in almost all modules for upload of master data and too some extent transaction data also.

Thus in FI you can upload the following master data through this: Vendors, Customers, General Ledger, Asset master, Bank Master. You can upload Transaction balance through this i.e. an FI document.

In CO you can upload the following master data: Cost element, Cost center, Profit center, Activity types, Internal orders, Statistical key figures.

In other modules likewise you can upload other sets of master data.

Release strategy transport:

BD91 - SAP Menu > Tools > ALE > Master Data Distribution > Logistics > Classification > Characteristic > Send

BD91: for sending Characteristics Master

BD92 - SAP Menu > Tools > ALE > Master Data Distribution > Logistics > Classification > Class > Send

BD92: for sending Class Master.

Hi,

ALE stands for application link enabling

Idoc stands for intermediate document which uses ale to transfer data between various systems.

For data to be transferred between two systems, their are some basic configurations involved.

-> Creation of Logical system(BD54)

-> Assignment of client to the Logical system(SCC4)

-> Creation of RFC Destination(SM59)

->Creation of Port(WE21)

-> Creation of Partner Profile (WE20)

-> Distribution Model(BD64)

Thanks
