    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.
