<b>ALE</b>

A means of creating and operating distributed applications.

Application Link Enabling (ALE) guarantees a distributed, but integrated, R/3 installation. This involves business-controlled message exchange using consistent data across loosely linked SAP applications.

Applications are integrated using synchronous and asynchronous communication - not by using a central database.

ALE consists of the following layers:

Application services

Distribution services

Communication services

IDocs act as data containers in an ALE scenario. They are just a format of storing application data and then transferred using ALE. Take a look at this for further details on ALE.

Hi Lokeshan,

ALE is point to point mainly used for integrating SAP systems and capable of creating a dialogue only between a pair of systems, but SAP XI is capable of involving many systems at the same time. ALE does not support open standards like Webservices etc.

Uses:

1) Used mostly for SAP to SAP communication. Used in Distributed servers system. E.g. Say a Company has a central server at its head office and local servers at its branches. ALE is used to keep all the servers synchronized.

2) Does not need EDI subsystem for communication.

3) ALE is an SAP terminology. ALE is integrated with SAP product.
