Processing in ALE from Register Mode

Use this procedure to perform processing in an ALE environment using Register mode.
  1. Start Screen SM59 from your SAP system.
    Note: This is also called the SAP RFC Destination screen.
  2. Set up Gateway options for both the Host and the Service.
    Note: A destination in transaction SM59 can be defined as follows:
    • Connection type = T
    • Activate type = Registering
    • Program-ID = hssfds05.aleserver
    • Gateway host = hssfds05
    • Gateway service = sapgw00
  3. Enter the program ID as on the Microsoft Windows Run command line. The program_ID parameter syntax is <machine_name>.aleserver where the machine_name is the name of the machine on which Sterling Gentran:Server® is installed.

    This parameter is case-sensitive. The command format is:

    aleserver -a <program_ID> -g <SAP_gateway> 
-x <SAP_gateway_service> file=<file_name>

    where file_name is the output filename (usually a file in a folder on the Sterling Gentran:Server system).

    For example:

    aleserver -ahssfds05.aleserver -ghssfds05 -xsapgw00 file=\GENSRVNT\from_sap\sapout.idoc
  4. Click Registration on Screen SM59 to begin processing on the machine where Sterling Gentran:Server Extension for SAP resides.

    You see the IP name (Program ID): hssfds05.aleserver.

  5. Select Test connection.

    You see a screen with connection information. If unsuccessful, you receive an unable to connect error message.
