ALE is meant to replicate data from one R/3 system to another R/3 system (or a software that pretends to be an R/3 system). It is basically a scheduler that defines the time and events when data has to be sent to a remote system. IDocs are created and sent to the partner system.

For details: Have a look at http://idocs.de in the bookstore, there are links to:
