Saptec - Fundamentals Of Application Platform

You can work in up to 16 windows (sessions) simultaneously per logon (as of SAP Web AS 6.20).

BAPIs are nothing other than special, remote-enabled function modules. They can therefore also be addressed using RFCs

CPU time consumption is recorded for every work process and can be displayed in transaction SM50 using CPU. When a process is restarted, it is not only allocated a new process ID by the operating system, but the internal timer is also reset

The Legacy System Migration Workbench can be downloaded on the SAP Service Marketplace. To access the download, the user needs to use the Quick Link /lsmw and navigate to the download area for that page.

The dispatcher receives the user request on the application server and passes it on to an available work process. The SAP presentation program, SAP GUI, is not part of the application server (software-oriented view), and the buffer enables quicker processing of user requests.

The dispatcher reassigns the user to a dialog work process for each dialog step in a transaction. The assignment of users to dialog work processes is therefore not fixed. (The only exception to this rule is the debugging mode, in which one dialog process is assigned to one specific user.)

Transactions, tools, and interfaces for all phases of the software development process are available in the SAP system

There is a SAP GUI for the Windows environment, based on the Windows platform, there is a platform-independent SAP GUI for the Java environment, and a SAP GUI for HTML, consisting of a browser and an Internet Transaction Server. There is no such thing as SAP GUI for Linux.

Implementing an additional hardware layer for application processes makes it easier to adapt an SAP system if the number of users changes (scalability), and to assign user groups to specific application servers (software-oriented view), (load balancing). The additional hardware layer does not, however, reduce the administrative workload.

Asynchronous updates solve the problems caused by the different interpretations of transaction at database level and at SAP level. Bundling all updates for one SAP transaction into a single database transaction ensures that the data that belongs to this SAP transaction can be rolled back completely. Every work process is continuously connected to the database, therefore every work process can access the database dataset. Access to the SAP system buffers does not depend on the type of update used

A client in this context refers to a logical entity in a system that contains specific data. The correct answer states that a client contains client-specific customizing, user data, and application data. This means that each client can have its own customizations, user-specific data, and application-specific data. This allows for customization and personalization of the system based on the needs and requirements of each client.

A foreign key defines a relationship between two tables. A foreign key assigns the fields of one table (known as the foreign key table) to the primary key fields of another table (known as the check table).
The technical attributes of table fields are defined in a domain. You need an object key to edit Repository objects.

The lock table is located in the main memory of the SAP Web Application Server on which the enqueue work process is configured

You can use workflow to send XML messages that then trigger subsequent actions in other systems, as long as they are appropriately configured

You can enter valid transaction codes directly on the SAP Easy Access screen. If you are in another function, you need to enter /n in front of the transaction code. /nend and /nex are two different logoff options. ?SM04 is not a valid entry. search_sap_menu is a valid entry; it creates a search screen for entries in the SAP menu.

The task handler coordinates activities within a work process. The work process and the user.s SAP GUI do not communicate directly, but through the dispatcher. The database is accessed through the database interface and the ABAP coding is executed by the ABAP processor

Because the SAP BC can transfer data in XML format to other systems, it enables inter-enterprise ALE scenarios

The F4 key provides a list of possible entries for a selected field

An SAP system consists of clients, cross-client Customizing, and the Repository

The ABAP Workbench is the SAP system's integrated graphical development environment. It supports, among other things, the development and administration of applications written in ABAP, SAP's programming language. The Workbench also contains transactions for assessing the performance of ABAP commands and for managing development projects. These are, however, simply components of the Workbench

The rules for passwords do not allow 'SAP*' or 'PASS', two-character passwords or passwords beginning with three identical characters

The data for all clients in an SAP system is stored within a single common database. This data is nevertheless divided by client so that different companies can be administered and controlled in different clients. A client is "not" a customer within an SAP system.

The central instance is the instance on which all application processes required for operating an SAP system are configured. Specifically, the central instance therefore also contains processes that are only present once per system (such as the message server). Every instance has a gateway process, the existence of a gateway process does not therefore denote the central instance. The number of dialog work processes, or the total number of work processes configured on the central instance is not relevant in this context.

You use domains for defining the technical attributes of fields in a table. The semantic attributes of a field are defined in the data element

The import into the target system is started by the transport administrator in the Transport Management System (TMS)

It does not make sense to configure enqueue work processes on different SAP Web Application Servers, since there can be only one lock table per SAP system and this lock table is located in the main memory of the SAP Web Application Server on which the enqueue work process is configured

Recommending the three-system landscape does not sell more licenses, since you can set up several SAP systems on one license, although you can only use one of these systems as the production system. You can always create several clients in an SAP system

From an SAP system, you can communicate with other systems using, for example, HTTP, SMTP, RFC, or BAPIs. XDTP and STP do not exist

The F1 help provides documentation and technical information on a field.

You can call the context-sensitive help using the Application Help pushbutton in the F1 help window

Background processing is typically used for long-running tasks or tasks that recur regularly. The prerequisite is that these tasks do not require user interaction. The spool work process is responsible for printing lists

Every developer releases his or her own subtasks. Then the development leader releases the request as a whole. Requests cannot be released automatically

All of the above processes can in theory be configured on an SAP Web Application Server. However, not all of the above processes are work processes. The message server and ICM process are not work processes

The development leader creates and releases change requests

You can start the Business Object Repository using transaction code BAPI, and the Function Builder using transaction code SE37

Depending on the settings of the relevant system parameters, the TemSe might be located in different "places": normally it is either in the database or at file-system level on the central instance

Numerous personalization options are available, using the Extras menu, the Customizing of local layout pushbutton, and using the status bar and Help→Settings.... End users cannot, however, change the size of input fields. You also cannot use the SAP GUI to display a picture of your choice on the SAP Easy Access screen.

The SAP Service Marketplace is directed at SAP Partners and SAP customers. This platform provides resources, tools, and support for partners and customers to enhance their experience with SAP products and services. It allows partners to access training materials, collaborate with other partners, and stay updated on the latest SAP offerings. For customers, the marketplace offers access to documentation, support services, and a community forum to connect with other SAP users. Therefore, the SAP Service Marketplace is specifically designed for SAP Partners and customers to cater to their needs and enhance their engagement with SAP.

You can use BAPIs to access business processes in an SAP system and to request and transfer data between systems. GUI functions cannot be transferred to third-party products

You can set the direction of synchronization individually for each field: data in SAP system is overwritten or data in directory service is overwritten.

You can use transactions SM04 and AL08 to edit or only view user sessions. The other options either do not exist or are not relevant to viewing user sessions

ALE is a very powerful method of exchanging data between systems. These systems may be located within the same company, or they may be distributed between several companies. The data is transferred by RFC in a previously defined format. The transfer type may be synchronous or asynchronous

You can access the source code using System → Status and choosing Program (Screen), or using the ABAP Editor. The menu path System → Status is available on every screen

When the local SysLog file reaches itsmaximum size (set by profile parameters), the oldest records are overwritten (cyclical overwriting).

When the ABAP Interpreter sends a query to the database, the database interface reads the data from the SAP Web Application Server’s local buffer, if possible. If the data required is not present in the buffer, then the interface turns the Open SQL statement from the ABAP coding into database-specific native SQL coding. The database interface is not used to access the content of online databases on the Internet or files on the SAP Web Application Server

SAPTEC training (Technology Fundamentals for SAP) is focused on providing an understanding of the SAP system architecture, basic system components, and navigation. It helps learners grasp the foundational concepts of SAP technology, including how the system works and how to navigate through it. It does not involve developing custom modules or creating reports, which are covered in other specific training courses.

The dialog process records the data to be changed in the VB* tables, while the update work process handles the final update of the target tables (the tables that are actually relevant to business). There is no such thing as a recording work process

Most printing requests are started in the dialog or in background processing

BAPIs, IDocs and batch input, along with direct input, are the primary procedures used to import data into an SAP system. The remaining answers are wrong

SAP provides the Data Transfer Workbench (DX Workbench) and the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) as free tools to assist in organizing data transfer projects. The DX Workbench is designed specifically for data transfer tasks and allows for the easy import and export of data. The LSMW, on the other hand, is a more comprehensive tool that not only helps with data transfer but also aids in the migration of legacy systems to SAP. Both tools are valuable resources for efficiently managing data transfer projects.
