Overview: Configuration-Guide for ABAP backend systems integrating with AEX

All ABAP backend systems involved in an AEX integration scenario need to be connected to the AEX. To ensure that all adapters are properly running with the ABAP system, different configuration steps are required and need to be completed before any integration scenarios can be developed. Therefore I created the following blog to provide an overview about all necessary steps to be completed.

I tried to provide a complete set of guides (either by referencing to my own blogs or by referencing to existing good blogs) for properly setting up the AEX and any ABAP backend system for different integration scenarios. Not all of the steps are mandatory since the required steps mainly depend on the type of integration scenarios used. It is stated in brackets if a configuration step is mandatory or not.

Setup Steps:

1. Setup of SLD connections (mandatory)
2. Setup of proxy connections (optional if no proxies are used)
3. Integration Engine configuration and backend queue activation
4. Setup of IDOC_AAE adapter (optional if no IDOCs are used)
5. Activation of XI services on ABAP system (optional if no SOAP or proxy is used)

1st step: Setup of SLD connections:

Please refer to my blog for details regarding setup of SLD connections:

2nd step: Setup of proxy connections:

Please refer to my blog for details regarding the setup of a proper proxy connectivity:

3^rd step: Integration Engine configuration and backend queue activation:

Please refer to my blog for details regarding the integration engine configuration:

4^th step: Setup of the IDOC_AAE adapter:

William Li wrote a very good blog about the required setup steps. Please refer to this link:

Please let me know if anything is missing or if I explained thing wrong in this or any referenced blog.

This helps to improve this guide a lot!
