Hi ,

<i>business system & business service</i>

generally business system is used for SAP applications and bussiness service is used for non sap applications.

<i>ARIS</i>

Hi,

Business Systems have an entry in the SLD . Busienss Servies do not have. When talking to an r3 system you need a Business System. Business Service requires you to manually assign hthe Interfaces to it in the ID.

Look ups, Take a look at this blog and article,

the difffences between business system & business service

>>> Business service are abstractr and they dont have entries in the SLD unlike Bus. sys.

lookups

>>> http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/406642ea59c753e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

pipeline

>>> Redv. det -> iter. det. -> mesg. split -> Mesg. mapping -> tech. routing -> call adapter

when does this transport come into picture in XI

>>> in typical implementations, you start of with a dev. server -> test server and finally productions and hence transport of object happen ffrom the dev -> test -> prod. systems.
