1 Introduction to SAP Architecture SAP Architecture consists of three layers as described below.

Presentation Layer This is where users of the SAP R/3 System submit input to the SAP R/3 System for the processing of business transactions. On the desktop level, R/3 offers a user-friendly graphical interface called SAPGUI for Windows, SAPGUI for HTML & Portal.
Application Layer The application layer is a logically independent component residing at the host operating system level. This component is represented by an application instance. An Application Instance is identified by a 2-digit number. The application logic modules can reside on one centralized host machine or be distributed over several physical host machines. For FEWA Development & Quality Servers application layers are on single hosts for each product however Production Servers are distributed over several physical hosts.
