What happens after you install a sap system?

Two by default INSTANCES are create

1. ASCS-(ABAP system central services):

Suppose I am an employee of a company using the SAP system, and I want to

change a sales order. I log into the SAP system. Behind the scenes, the ASCS
instance (ABAP Central Services) is responsible for central coordination. It
includes the Message Server, which checks which application server has the
least load and routes my request to that server. Once I am connected to an
application server and try to change the sales order, the Enqueue Server (also
part of ASCS) checks whether another user is already working on the same
sales order.
 If someone else is working on it, the Enqueue Server makes me wait
until it is free.
 If not, it locks the sales order object for me, so only I can make changes
to it.
The ASCS instance is critical because it helps distribute user sessions across
application servers efficiently and ensures data consistency by managing
locks on shared data.

Certainly! Here's a detailed breakdown of how SAP Work Processes work,

focusing on Work Process 7 (Background Work Process) and your interaction
with it:

SAP Work Processes Overview:

In SAP, work processes are responsible for handling tasks. Each type of work
process has a specific role:
1. Dialog Work Process: Handles interactive user tasks (e.g., changing a
sales order).
2. Background Work Process (Work Process 7): Handles tasks that run in
the background, like batch jobs and reports.
 3. Update Work Process: Handles database updates and transactional data
changes.
4. Enqueue Work Process: Manages locks to ensure data consistency.

Focus: Work Process 7 (Background Work Process)

What It Does:
 Work Process 7 is responsible for executing background tasks without
user interaction, like:
o Running scheduled reports.
o Data imports/exports.
o Batch processing (large updates).
o Periodic maintenance tasks.
Your Interaction with Work Process 7:
1. Scheduling Background Jobs:
o Transaction SM36: You schedule background jobs (e.g., a large
report generation or batch update).
 Example: You need to generate a monthly sales report.
Instead of running it immediately, you schedule it to run at
night using SM36.
o Once scheduled, Work Process 7 picks up the job and executes it
automatically in the background, without you needing to do
anything else.
2. Monitoring Background Jobs:
o Transaction SM37: After scheduling a job, you can monitor its
progress and status (whether it's finished or still running).
 Example: You can check whether the monthly sales report
has been completed by using SM37.
o You can view the job logs, error messages, or details about
execution times.
 3. Immediate Execution of Background Jobs:
o You can trigger a job immediately if needed by scheduling it with
SM36 and setting it to run immediately.
o Example: You need a report right now, so instead of scheduling it
for later, you set it to run immediately.
4. System-Triggered Background Jobs:
o In many cases, SAP system components schedule background jobs
automatically. For instance, daily database backups or system
maintenance tasks like updates may be automatically executed in
the background using Work Process 7.
o These tasks don’t require your direct action; they’re managed by
the system to ensure smooth operation.
What You Don’t Do with Work Process 7:
 You don’t need to directly interact with Work Process 7 once jobs are
scheduled or triggered.
 SAP manages the background execution for you automatically.

Summary of Your Interaction with Work Process 7 (Background Work
Process):
 You schedule jobs (via SM36) for background processing tasks that don’t
require immediate user interaction.
 You monitor jobs (via SM37) to check their status or see if they have
completed.
 SAP runs the tasks automatically without requiring your interaction with
Work Process 7 directly.
