SAP R/3 is based on a 3-tier Client-Server model, run on three different

machines.
􀂃 Database Layer
􀂃 Application Layer
􀂃 Presentation Layer

The Database Layer consists of an RDBMS (Relational Database


Management System), which accepts the database requests from the
Application Layer, and sends the data back to the Application Layer, which
in turn passes it on to the Presentation Layer.

The Application Layer or the server interprets the ABAP/4 programs,


receiving the inputs from them and providing the processed output to them.

The Presentation Server or ‘Presentation Layer’ is what is installed on the


typical workstation of a user. This is nothing but the SAPGUI, which when
started provides the user with the interface of SAP R/3 menus. This
interface accepts the inputs from the user, passes them on to the
Application Server, processes the inputs and sends back the output. If
database processing is required, the Application Server sends the details to
the Database Layer, receives the data, and then processes it at the
Application Layer level and sends back the output to the Presentation
Layer where the SAPGUI may format the data before displaying it on the
screen
What is an ‘Instance’?
An ‘Instance’ is an administrative unit that groups together components of
an SAP R/3 system or
simply an Application Server, which has its own set of work processes.
A Client can contain many instances.

The ‘System Landscape,’ in SAP, refers to a number of systems and their


deployment within an
SAP installation.

The ‘IMG (Implementation Guide)’ in SAP provides you with the various
configuration steps in a tree-like structure for easy access with the nodes at
the bottom representing the configuration objects.

The IMG is structured and arranged into four major logical groups:
1. General Settings (Country settings, currencies, calendar maintenance,
time zones, field display characteristics, etc.)
2. Enterprise Structure (Definition, assignment, consistency check, etc.)
3. Cross-Application Components (ALE, Time sheet, CATT, CAD
integration, Document Management, EDI, Engineering Change
Management (ECM), etc.)
4. Functional Area Settings (FI, CO, Logistics, PP, PM, QM, etc.)

Types of img

 The Enterprise IMG is usually an exact copy of the ‘SAP Reference


IMG,’ but limited to the countries where the implementation is carried
out.
 From the Enterprise IMG, you may create your Project IMG,
 It is also possible to create the Project IMG by directly generating it
from the SAP Reference IMG.
 In this case, the country selection is done when the Project IMGs are
created.
