Determining the Installation Node
Where you install eLink Adapter for R/3 ALE depends on the node configuration:
BEA eLink Adapter for R/3 ALE interacts with R/3 using the SAP RFC library. The RFC library uses IP sockets to communicate with the R/3 application servers. Installing BEA eLink Adapter for R/3 ALE on an R/3 application server node minimizes the risk of failure in this IP socket connection. If BEA eLink Adapter for R/3 ALE is installed on an R/3 application server node, it is recommended that no other TUXEDO applications run on that same node, in order to reduce the workload on the node.
