Documentation

Definition

Indicates that it must be investigated whether changes to the current object should be distributed.

Use

Distributed applications (ALE) run on various systems. Certain control data must be synchronized between the systems to make this possible. Changes to control data in one system must be passed to the others.

How the control data are distributed (i.e. which system receives which data), is defined in the ALE customer distribution model.

Procedure

Set the flag for all objects which you wish to distribute.

Examples

Dependencies

The flag is only relevant if you exchange data in a distributed system environment.
