Working with the ALE interface

The SAP ALE (Application Link Enabling) interface is part of the integration layer within SAP’s Business Framework Architecture (BFA). BFA is a component based architecture that enables business process integration and asynchronous data communication between two or more SAP systems or between SAP and external systems. Application systems are loosely coupled in an ALE integrated system and the data is exchanged asynchronously.

The adapter interacts with the ALE interface to support outbound and inbound processing by enabling the exchange of data in the form of business objects. The data exchange includes the following activities:
Note: Because the adapter uses asynchronous communication, it cannot be used when cross-referencing is required.
