What is 'business application' in SAP BC-ESI - Enterprise Service Infrastructure?

business application - Overview

• Component: BC-ESI

• Component Name: Enterprise Service Infrastructure

• Description: A logical representation of an application that makes its Web service implementations addressable. This allows all Web service implementations belonging to the same business application to be grouped together. A business application is a design artifact that is defined by the business application name. The business application name remains the same for all its deployed instances. Each business application instance is uniquely identified by its business application ID. For example, a Web service interface called "PurchaseOrder" may be implemented twice on your Java server, once in a CRM use case and once in an SRM use case. To distinguish between the implementations, the business application is used. As Web service interfaces cannot be implemented more than once in an ABAP system, each SAP client has one default business application called sap.com/BusinessApplicationABAP using a GUID UUID as its unique ID.

  Key Concepts: 
  BC-ESI Enterprise Service Infrastructure is a business application component of SAP that provides a platform for the development and deployment of enterprise services. It enables the integration of different applications and systems, allowing for the exchange of data and information between them. It also provides a framework for the development of new services and applications. 
  
  How to use it: 
  BC-ESI Enterprise Service Infrastructure can be used to integrate different applications and systems, allowing for the exchange of data and information between them. It also provides a framework for the development of new services and applications. To use it, developers must first create an enterprise service repository, which is a database that stores all the necessary information about the services and applications. Once this is done, developers can then create service definitions, which define how the services will interact with each other. Finally, developers can deploy their services to the platform. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using BC-ESI Enterprise Service Infrastructure, it is important to ensure that all service definitions are properly defined and that all necessary information is stored in the enterprise service repository. Additionally, developers should ensure that all services are properly tested before they are deployed to the platform.
