SAP Technical Overview
Learning Objectives• What the Basis system is• How does SAP handle a transaction
request• Differentiating between the various work
processes

SAP Technical Overview
The Software-Oriented View of R/3

SAP Technical Overview
The SAP R/3 System Architecture
• Implications for Application Programming– Separate presentation and application layers implies
that when you run an application program that requires user interaction, control of the program is continually passed backwards and forwards between layers.
– When a screen is ready for user input, the presentation layer is active, and the application server is inactive with regard to that particular program.
– As a consequence, the program logic in an application program that occurs between two screens is known as a DIALOG STEP.

SAP Technical Overview
• Application Layer (cont.)– Application Server
• R/3 programs run on application servers• The APPLICATION SERVER communicate with
the presentation components, the database, and also with each other, using a MESSAGE SERVER.
• Main components:– Work Processes (Dialog, Update, Enqueue,
Batch, Spool)– Dispatcher– Gateway– Message Server

SAP Technical Overview
Dispatcher
• Program which manages resources of the R/3 applications
• Receives requests from user and passes them to the corresponding work processes
• Only one dispatcher per application server
![Page 10: Basis Technical Overview](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd421a28ab9e788beb2a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SAP Technical Overview
Dispatcher Tasks
• Balances the workload between the processes
• Buffer management in main memory• Connection with the presentation level• Organization of the communication
processes
![Page 11: Basis Technical Overview](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd421a28ab9e788beb2a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

SAP Technical Overview
Dialog Work Processes
Dialog
D
• Responsible for the interactive tasks of the R/3 system
• Dialog work processes execute only one dialog step at a time and are immediately freed for the next user request
• Constantly switching between users

SAP Technical Overview
Background Work Processes
• Responsible for executing ABAP programs submitted for background execution
• Batch jobs schedule the sequence of program execution
• Used for running long and time consuming programs

SAP Technical Overview
Spool Work Processes
• Responsible for formatting the data for printing and passing it to the host spool system
• Only one spool work process allowed per server
Spool
![Page 16: Basis Technical Overview](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062903/577ccd421a28ab9e788beb2a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SAP Technical Overview
Enqueue Work Processes• Responsible for the lock
management system• Synchronizes database
access for the multiple application servers and work processes
• Only one enqueue process per R/3 system to ensure data integrity
Enqueue
E

SAP Technical Overview
Update Work Processes• Responsible for making
database changes requested by dialog and background processes
• For better performance, this process should be on the database server
UpdateV

SAP Technical Overview
V1 vs. V2 Update Processes• Time-critical processes are
inside V1 and less critical ones within V2
• Error situations in– V1 : changes rolled back and
V2 components not executed– V2 : only changes of V2
components rolled back
UpdateV

SAP Technical Overview
Message Server• Used by different application
servers to exchange data and internal messages
• Routes messages, such as update or batch job starts, between application servers
• One message server per system

SAP Technical Overview
Gateway Server• Allows communication
between R/3, R/2, and external applications
• Exchanges large amounts of information between application servers
• Gateway can reside on any of the connected systems

SAP Technical Overview
Work Processes• Number of work processes can only be
changed after restarting the system• Should have at least two dialog work
processes• Need to have at least one V1 and V2
processes• Number of Enqueue Work process is only
one for a System
