Business System as Integration Server

[Former Member]

When do we use the business system as the integration server and when do we use it as a plain rcv SAP system?...

Also how can we connect business system of dev quality and prod?

Only for the Business Systems for PI servers, you should have type as Integration Server. For all other SAP systems, you may take the role as Application Server.

Also how can we connect business system of dev quality and prod?

You need to define transport targets in SLD for achieving this.

Hi Ravindra,

There is nothing to get confused here.

Only your PI system will play the role of an Integration System.

All other systems will be Application servers only.

But you can use the PI system (Integration Server) itself as a Business system for testing purposes, when you do not have any other system to make use of.

Hi

Just to add furthur to your response,

All PI systems (aka Integration Server) will have it's own Business System Created when you do the intial integration with SLD.

The business system name would be - INTEGRATION_SERVER_<SID>.

If it's not there you got create maually (in some rare cases)

Thanks

Hi Ravindra,

Actually, it makes more sense if you rephrase your question as:

"When do we wnat to use a Integration server as a Business system"..

We will use the Integration Server as the Business System when you are using the file system of the integration server as the file receiving system or, when you want to implement an ABAP proxy on the ABAP stack of the Integration Server, instead of using any other R/3 system.

Regarding your second question, there is a concept called Transport Groups in SLD.
