  Key Concepts: 
  A bridge object is a type of object used in the SAP Enterprise Portal Unification Platform (EP-PIN-UNI). It is used to connect two different systems, such as an SAP system and a non-SAP system, and enable them to communicate with each other. The bridge object acts as an intermediary between the two systems, allowing them to exchange data and information.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a bridge object, you must first create it in the EP-PIN-UNI Unification Platform. This can be done by selecting the “Create Bridge Object” option from the menu. Once created, you can configure the bridge object to connect the two systems. This includes setting up the connection parameters, such as the source and target systems, and defining the data mapping between them. Once configured, you can then activate the bridge object to start exchanging data between the two systems.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a bridge object, it is important to ensure that all of the connection parameters are correctly configured. This will ensure that data is exchanged correctly between the two systems. Additionally, it is important to test the bridge object before activating it to ensure that it is working properly.
