Posting BAPIs/RFCs/IDocs from Multiple Gateways in the Outbound Adapter Configuration

The host machine on which the SAP gateway resides is called the Gateway Host. Each SAP application server can communicate to external systems through its own gateway often residing on the same machine as the application server. Alternatively, the gateway process can also reside on a machine entirely different from the one where the application server runs. In such cases, multiple application servers can share the same gateway and the gateway host acts as a centralized gateway server.

The outbound adapter configuration can service requests to invoke or post BAPIs/RFCs/IDocs in the TIBCO environment from one or multiple SAP gateways. This is achieved by configuring the adapter configuration for multiple outbound connections. See Load Balancing Using Distributed Queue for details.
