Difference Between ALE and EDI in SAP ABAP

Difference Between ALE and EDI in SAP ABAP

The main difference between ALE and EDI is ALE used for internal communications within the SAP Environment and EDI is meant for external communications that is communicating with Non-systems.
ALE(Application Link Enabling):
ALE is technology for SAP ,is used to transfer data between SAP systems.
ALE is used to support integrated processes across several SAP systems.
ALE includes controlled exchange of data messages guarantying data consistency across loosely coupled applications. ALE consists three layers which are Application Services , Distribution Services and Communication Services.
ALE provides a distributed and fully integrated R/3 system. Each application is self-capable. The use of self-capable system implies a certain measure of data redundancy.Hence data has to be both distributed and synchronized.
ALE uses an IDOC format to exchange data between systems, both participating systems should understand the IDOC format.
ALE transfers the data using memory buffers whereas EDI uses file port to transfer the data.
Distribution of applications between specific releases of R/3 Systems
Continued records alternate after a release upgrade without requiring special protection
Customer-specific extensions.
Communication interfaces that allow connections to non-SAP structures.
Coupling of R/three and R/2 Systems.
EDI( Electronic Data Interchange )
EDI means Electronic Data Interchange, is the electronic exchange of structured business data between different applications. Such as purchase orders, invoices, inquiries, planning, acknowledgements, pricing, order status, scheduling, test results, shipping and receiving, payments, and financial reporting.
When you are using EDI technology you always need a translator to convert the IDOC to X12 (Outbound), X12 to IDOC (Inbound).But in the case of ALE you don’t reuire a translator.
EDI Architecture contains EDI-enabled applications which support the automatic processing of business transactions.
The IDoc interface which consists of IDoc types and function modules that form the interface to the application.
The EDI subsystem which converts the IDoc types into EDI message types and vice versa. This component of the EDI architecture is not provided by SAP.
EDI is the independent technology use to transfer data between two systems, they can be SAP systems or non SAP systems.
Below following tasks related to EDI processing:
Conversion of data·
Message and Interchange Handling.
Communication·
Administration of partner profiles·
Monitoring of processing
All data is transferred in files between the R/3 System and the EDI subsystem. Synchronous RFC (Remote Function Call) is implemented to define the time of transfer for a file between the two systems.
Improves data accuracy
With EDI business can eliminate the need to re-enter data from paper documents and thus prevent potential data entry errors.
Lowers personnel costs
EDI can help companies reduce the need for personnel involved in orders and accounting processing. Speeds up information exchange- EDI systems can shorten the lead time between receipt and fulfillment of orders.
Reduces technical complexity related to data interchange
With EDI companies use standardized data formats to exchange documents. EDI allows companies using different business applications and systems to achieve computer-to-computer electronic exchange of business documents.

All about Classes in ABAP Object Oriented Programming?

All about Classes in ABAP Object Oriented Programming? Class describes real world Object that may be car ,home and Animal .In ABAP Object Oriented (OO)Programming ,Class concept is first and Fore most Topic ,so through this post ,we will learn class in ABAP and Types of class and How to create classes and Methods in SAP ABAP. Class consists the Properties and Attributes. Properties are Methods or Functions or Procedures. Attributes are Variables . One class can have Any number of Objects that is Object is like a class but object can never be a Class. Example :Car is a class ,Here class contains some common Properties for its related Objects. Object may be different companies like Ford Maruthi etc. Objects are instances of a class ,so for one class ,we can create many objects Class Definition in SAP ABAP Class: we can build an Object properties using class. The attributes of objects are defined by the components of the class, which describe the state and behavior of O...

What is SAP HANA?

What is SAP HANA? The main features of SAP HANA are given below: SAP HANA is a combination of software and hardware innovation to process huge amount of real time data. Based on multi core architecture in distributed system environment. Based on row and column type of data-storage in database. Advantages of SAP HANA Used extensively in Memory Computing Engine to process and analyze massive amount of real time data. It reduces cost of ownership, increases application performance, enables new applications to run on real time environment that were not possible before. It is written in C , supports and runs on only one Operating System Suse Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1/2. Today, most successful companies respond quickly to market changes and new opportunities. A key to this is the effective and efficient use of data and information by analyst and managers. HANA overcomes the limitations mentioned below: Due to increase in "Data Volume", it is a challenge f...

How to Create SAP ABAP Query Using SQ01 Step by Step Guide

How to Create SAP ABAP Query Using SQ01 Step by Step. You can create ABAP query objects ,if they are not exist in the SAP system. You can create SAP query without  ABAP programming knowledge. ABAP Query provides users with a variety of ways to define and create different types of  reports , such as  Basic Lists ,  Stats , and  Sorted Lists . ABAP query consists of four elements: Queries InfoSets Groups Translation query Queries The query component is used by end users for Queries. You can create queries, change and queries executed. Transaction  SQ01. Trnslation component / QUERY Many texts to define queries, InfoSets and user groups are generated. These texts are displayed in the language we choose to access the SAP system. We can compare the text or languages ​​that use this component. InfoSets InfoSets are the views of the Special Data Sources. An InfoSet Describes the fields of a data source that can be reported in the q...
