Architecture

Architecture

Architecture
Three-Tier SAP Structure
 GUI—Graphical User Interface

 Application server (one or many)
 Database server (one single location)

Architecture
Client/Server Environment
 Client
 Software/hardware combination that can make a
request for services from a central repository of
resources
 Server
 Software/hardware combination that can provide
services to a group of clients in a controlled
environment

Architecture

Architecture
 Central relational database (e.g., Oracle and many

others)
 Client/Server—three-tiered
 Oriented towards common identifiable business modules
(PP, MM, SD, FI, CO, HR)

Architecture
Relational Database
 Tables: Defines and links thousands of tables of

information
 Advantages
 Consistent and accurate data
 Common definitions for terms
 Shared, but restricted usage (e.g., profiles)
 Eliminates data redundancy

Configuration/Customization
Configuring SAP R/3
 Configurable—each instance can be distinctively configured

to fit the needs and desires of the customer’s (within limits)
 Most of the infrastructure decisions, including configuration

decisions, occur during project implementation


 The process of tailoring SAP software by selecting specific

functionality from a list of those supported by the software,
very much like setting defaults (e.g., Word, Access)
 DOES NOT involve changes to the underlying software code

ABAP
Programming Code Modifications
 Changes to the delivered code
 ABAP/4—Advanced Business Application Programming

(ABAP)
 This is not recommended as it makes migration to

new versions much more difficult

ABAP

ABAP

SAP R/3 Document Principle
 Each business transaction that writes data to the database

creates a uniquely numbered electronic document
 Each document contains information such as

 Responsible person
 Date and time of the transaction
 Commercial content
 Once created, a document can not be deleted from the

database

Buzz Words in SAP
R/3
Stands for the three tier architecture of SAP, the three tiers being application server,
database server, and presentation server
Client
It is a logical set of tables and fields.
Country Versions
The SAP System offers over forty standard country versions, each of which is designed
to allow you to run your business operations in a particular country
Country versions are of two types - standard country versions ( which are wholly part of
the standard system), and nonstandard country version (which are provided by SAP's
subsidiaries and partners in the form of modifications and add-ons, and may not
necessarily be compatible with other add-on solutions )
Industry Solutions

as IS Oil, IS Pharma

Buzz Words in SAP
4.6/4.7
These are the versions of SAP 4.7 is the latest version and includes a built in CIN version
Transaction
An R/3 transaction is a sequence of dialog steps that are consistent in a business context
and that belong together logically.
When an R/3 transaction is executed, all individual dialog steps are performed and the
data entered in the transaction is updated in the database. From the viewpoint of the
database, this is a conversion from one consistent state to the next.
Transaction code
Sequence of characters that identifies a transaction in the SAP System.
A transaction code can contain up to 20 characters and should always begin with a letter.
Permitted characters are letters from A to Z, numbers from 0 to 9, and the underscore.
To call a transaction, you enter the transaction code in the command field and choose
Enter.
