• Key Concepts: 
  A binding program is a program in the SAP system that is used to bind an Internet Communication Manager (ICM) to a specific port. The ICM is responsible for managing the communication between the SAP system and external clients. The binding program is used to configure the ICM so that it can accept requests from external clients and route them to the appropriate SAP system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The binding program is used to configure the ICM so that it can accept requests from external clients and route them to the appropriate SAP system. To use the binding program, you must first create a port in the SAP system and then configure the ICM to use that port. Once the port has been created, you can then use the binding program to bind the ICM to that port.
