Types Of Work Process In Sap Basis

Posted on by admin

If you want to find out the “optimum number of work processes“ required for your SAP system , then you can use the following methods to do this…
METHOD – 1

Go to AL12 –> Statistics –> Cursor Cache –> All Servers

You will see the “Total no of requests for each work process” if all the dialog work processes have “large no of requests” then you should add additional “Dialog Work Processes”. Otherwise you can decrease the number of “Dialog Work Processes” for saving the system resources.

First, let’s get down to the basics. SAP AG is a German company that makes business management software for enterprise level businesses. SAP AG is one of the largest software companies in the world and stands for “systems, applications, and products in data processing”. SAP AG provides end to end solutions for several business applications. Which work process triggers database changes in SAP? Define service (within R/3)? What are the roll and page areas in SAP? What is the protocol used by SAP Gateway process? What are different types of Log records in SAP BASIS? What are the types of Update requests in SAP? Explain how SAP GUI handles output screen for the user. On the transaction code RZ10, find parameter rdisp/nobtcwp and change to the desired value. A restart of SAP system is needed to apply the changes. You can also doing the same steps for decreasing the background work process. Types of Work Processes Even though the Work processes are unique at OS level SAP differentiated between the work processes based on the basis architectured nature of work. The process are determined by the instance name DVEBMGS For Dialogue instances the work process will be denoted as D01, D02.

METHOD – 2

You will see the “CPU total times of the work processes” . If you have Work Processes which have less “CPU Time” Appox. less than 0:20 then you should decrease the number of work process of that type , otherwise you may decide to increase that type of work process number.

For Dialogue instances the work process will be denoted as D01, D02….

Work process Categories

Work
  1. D – Dialogue
  2. V – Update
  3. E – Enqueue
  4. B – Back ground
  5. M – Message
  6. G – Gateway
  7. S – Spool

1. DIALOGUE ‘D’
It is only the process which communicates interactively with the users. There should be atleast 2 Dialogue work process per instance. Dialogue work process initiates Update, Background and Spool.

2. UPDATE ‘V’

3. ENQUEUE ‘E’
It is used to provide locks for the records that are going to be updated. It ensures consistency for updates. There will be only 1 Enqueue configured in the system during the installation. It is possible to have more than one enqueue provided they are installed or configured on the central instance.

4. BACKGROUND ‘B’
The tasks which are expensive or time consuming are scheduled to run in the background mode non-interactively. There should be atleast 2 background work process in the system

5. MESSAGE ‘M’
There should be only 1 message server in the entire R/3 system. It is used to manage all the dispatchers. It is used to load balance the requests to identify the least loaded dispatcher.
It is also used to provide locks to the request that are coming from Dialogue instances.

6. GATEWAY ‘G’
It is used to provide a means of communication with SAP and NON-SAP systems. There will be only 1 gateway for each instance.

7. SPOOL ‘S’
It is used to print the documents to a printer or output to a fax machine etc. Os x 10.5 to 10.6 download. There should be atleast 1 Spool process in the entire system. It is also possible to configure more spool process depending on the print/ spool volume.

SMGW is used to monitor the gateway process. Gateway is used to communicate between SAP and NON-SAP systems. There will be only 1 gateway/ instance. If required we can also install a standalone gateway on a JAVA engine. Gateway listens on port ‘3300’+instance number (3300, 3301,3302 where 01, 02 are the instances). Gateway provides an interface so that the external system can communicate with SAP system on the specified port. When RFC’s are defined between the systems they use SAP gateway when (ALE, EDI, IDOC are transferring they use gateway)
