Connection and credential alias requirements
Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection. For more information, see Connections and Credentials.
MID Server requirements
These actions use Remote Function Call (RFC) protocol (SAP Proprietary protocol – SAP Standard Interface) leveraging Application Link Enabling (ALE) framework, which can run on an instance or MID Server. Use the connection record associated with the SAP ECC IDoc alias to configure where actions run as well as set MID Server selection attributes. For more information about running actions on the MID Server, see Integration steps.
