Creating a Backend System Profile

Using the Backend System Profile, you can create a new backend system for your company. There are two ways to exchange data with a backend system: you can either publish data to the Datapool from where the data gets synchronized with the backend system, or you can deliver the data to the backend system directly via FTP or email.
