Hi,

Business System: Address a particular business system as the sender or receiver of messages.

A business system is an actual application system in a system landscape.

Business Service: Address an abstract business entity as the sender or receiver of messages.Business service is not defined.

It is useful to use business services when configuring cross-company processes. Usually, the interface descriptions of the business partners involved are made publicly available. The system landscape is only partly known, however.

Hi,

We use Business system when we know the SLD Details

We will use Business Service when we dont know the SLD details and we know Partially

We can create the Business system in SLD

We can create the Business service in ID itself

Hi,

what is a Business system? What is use of creating it?-->

Business System have an entry in the SLD and Buiness Service do not.

Business Systems are used when you are sending data to and from an R3 system and can be of ABAP, JAVA and Third Party Types.

Business System is a logical representation of a Technical System.

Business Service is a abstract representation of a System. For instance, www.google.com have a several system working together and IPs of this machines change eventually. When we use a Business Services like google we reference a computer that we don't know the phisical implementation.

Business Service and Business System difference-

Thanks,

HI

A Business Service represents an abstract, addressable unit. Business services are used in cross-company processes, for example, if the parties involved have only published their interfaces and not their system landscape, or it is only partly known. Using a business service, we can define the technical or business subunits of the companies involved and then assign them the relevant interfaces.

Business service represents abstract, addressable units whose actual system landscape is not published or partially known.

A Business System addresses a business system as a sender or receiver of messages. Unlike an abstract service, a business system represents a specific (application) system in the system landscape. A business system (service) comprises information about the inbound and outbound interfaces and the software component versions of the business system.

Business system addresses a specific (Application) system in the SLD as a sender or receiver of the message. It will have the information about the inbound and outbound interfaces and SWCV.

Depending on requirment we may prefer to use any one of them. if we dont have any acess to SLD or the acess to SLD is restricted then we will go for the business service. When we have no idea abt the System landscape and information abt the Business System and Technical System we go for the Business Service.

Hi Bharath,

pls explain the diffrence between business service and a business system

On what basis do we choose either one of these.

when ever we know exact detalis (ie hostname ) of the sender or receiver then we will go for business System.These details will be configured in SLD.

for IDOC and RFC adapters ie when ever we configure R/3 system as sender or receiver then we will go for business system where we know the technical details like host ligical system etc.

when ever we dont know exact detalis then we go business service.

genarally for File,mail,soap,http adapters we can configure business service.

hi,

Buisness system has to be configured in SLD and assigned to some technical system.This is use when you know the complete scenario end to end and your domain is completely known to you.

You use buisness service when you have to directly define it in ID.

And here you can assign outbound and inbound interfaces.

For idoc,rfc you go for buisness system ,ie where R/3 is there.

For all other adapters you can go for a buisness service.

hope it helps.

Hi,

Business System and Business Service provide the same functionalities from XI point of view.

They are used to determine the Sender and the Receiver systems.

The difference being that

For Business system the Technical System and Business system must exist in the SLD of XI. SLD is mostly a restricted area and not all users may be having privileges to access it.

So in such cases Business Service serves as an alternative for business system. However , in case of Business service ,the developer need to explicitly specify the inbound and outbound interfaces which is not required for Business system....

Bharat,

To put it in a nutshell, any systems that is configured in clients landscape of SLD is considered as BS.

Everything else is considered as Business service where you configure it at runtime.

There are various scenarios where u need to configure Business Service which would be beyond your client's landscape.
