[arkesh_sharma]

Hi,

I wanna know the BASIC difference between Business System and Business Service. If I'm configuring a design, then how will i know where to use the Business system for a communication channel and where to use Business Service to create another communication channel ??

Thanks and regards,

Arkesh

Business service :http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fe/131eb4ef2fb344abf471c9eac0063a/content.htm

A Business system will have an entry in SLD unlike a business service. A business service is used in case of the system being an abstract unit. Say for example in case my client is not ready to provide me with his system details i configure a Bus. service and not a Business system.

Hi Arkesh,

<b>Business System</b>

Business system is a logical system, and there is an importance on physical existence of the system.Also SLD entry is required.

It is generally used for SAP applications, this is just a general prinicple followed but not mandatory.

<b>Business Service</b>

You use a Business Service, when you do not have the System details of the the partner system to which you want to communicate. i.e. you have not configured the partner system in SLD.

Business Service is an Absract Unit with Sender and Receiver Interfaces,In this case you need to explicitly add the message interfaces while doing configuration in ID.

It is generally used for NON-SAP applications, this is just a general prinicple followed but not mandatory.

Hi Arkesh,

Business systems refers to the physical systems, for instance the R/3 system. You define the business systems in the SLD.

Business service is used when the message is not addressed to a business system. It is used mostly in B2B scenarios.
