  Key Concepts: 
  Alternative Distribution Point (ADP) is a feature of the BC-SEC Security component of SAP that allows for the distribution of security-related information to multiple locations. This feature is used to ensure that all security-related information is up-to-date and secure. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the ADP feature, an administrator must first configure the system to allow for the distribution of security-related information to multiple locations. This can be done by setting up a distribution list in the system and then assigning each location to a specific distribution list. Once this is done, the administrator can then configure the system to send out security-related information to each location on the list.

  When configuring the ADP feature, it is important to ensure that all locations on the distribution list are secure and up-to-date. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all locations have access to the same security-related information.
