why do we reuire multiple aliases. We can have only one system with one alias. we should directly use the system name. If we are using aliases, then there must be some advantage of it....Please correct me if I am thinking in wrong direction.

System names can be the same for different types of system. For e.g., you might have 2 system definitions for the same system under the same system name. However, the system definitions can be of different types - Logon ticket / User mapping.

To identify each system, you could use the id of the system definition but it would be long and tedious to use. Instead, you could define <b>Unique</b> system aliases and use them without a problem.

Moreover, You can have more than one system alias for a system definition.

Hi,

If u use one system with one Alias name means, there is some restriction for users..

If u use more than one Alias name with one system, u can access large no of users for a perticular system at a time..

There is no right on wrong answer here - you use as many (or as few) as you need.

If you consider business packages for example - lets assume you use Self Service and some other business package from SAP. Its likely that the provided iviews may use different alias names to access systems (SAP_R3_Financials, SAP_R3_HumanResources etc etc). These can be the SAME system from a portal perspective (hence 2 aliases can reference a single system conenctor).

Aliases in no way restrict (or otherwise) the number of users who can access a system.
