ALE Technology

Scope of Functions

In Release 4.6A new developments in Application Link Enabling are:

  • Easier to Use Interface (Enjoy Initiative)
The user interface has been improved and ALE functions are much easier to use.
Examples include the new task-orientated ALE Implementation Guide (IMG), distribution model maintenance with definable templates and the new functions for processing IDocs manually.
  • Using Templates to Maintain the Distribution Model
SAP has developed a tool to create templates for modelling ALE business processes.
Templates can be created by customers as well as by SAP.
  • Each template contains a description of a business process including the required message types/BAPIs and associated filters.

  • The template can be used to generate entries in the distribution model, ensuring that all the message types/BAPIs and filters required for a particular business process are modelled correctly. This makes it much easier to model a business process.

  • The entries generated in the distribution model can be changed manually afterwards, if required.

  • Synchronization of Customizing Data
In an ALE integrated system Customizing data must be synchronized system-wide.

The distribution of customizing objects has to be modelled and transported to the receiving systems.

The tools provided for this are:
Modelling
  • Maintaining distribution groups for customizing objects

  • Maintaining the distribution model

  • Projecting customizing data in an IMG project

  • Distributing distribution groups to the receiving systems

  • Generating distribution groups from existing filter objects of message type CONDAT

For more information see the ALE Implementation Guide under Synchronization of Customizing Data.
ALE Transport Management
  • Generating and sending ALE transport requests

  • Workflow-controlled import of ALE transport requests

  • Consolidating and forwarding ALE transport requests

For more information see the area menu ALE Administration.
  • Enhancements to the BAPI-ALE Interface Generation
  • Objects generated in the outbound and inbound interfaces can be transported separately.

  • The BAPI-ALE interface supports the processing of IDoc packets in ALE inbound processing

  • Enhanced Data Filtering

In the ALE outbound interface, full filtering and filtering by field is supported in addition to content-dependent filtering (table parameters).
Filtering must be activated in the distribution model.
  • Central Monitoring of R/3 Systems
All R/3 Systems in an ALE integrated system can be centrally monitored using the CCMS ALE monitor.
The monitor provides an overview of the following ALE performance attributes of your R/3 Systems:

,,-,,Change pointers for IDocs
,,-,,IDocs in outbound processing
,,-,,tRFC queue
,,-,,IDocs in inbound processing
If the defined threshold values are exceeded, alerts are triggered and displayed in the overview screen.
You have to define the ALE monitoring objects in the ALE Implementation Guide. These then represent a group of selection options for IDoc attributes and are used for evaluation purposes.
The CCMS ALE Monitor can be started from the ALE Administration area menu.
  • Manual IDoc Processing with Enhanced Functionality
Information about IDocs is organized hierarchically by status group, individual status status, message type and error message.
You can display the IDocs, process them immediately or restrict the selection by status group and then process them.
Details of communication errors can also be displayed.
