User Request Processing
User Request Processing
When users log on by using the SAP GUI, the ABAP runtime environment processes the user
requests. When users log on by using a browser, processing can be done by the ABAP or
Java runtime environment, depending on the user request.
After the users log on via the message server or directly through the ABAP dispatcher, the
user requests are executed by the work processes.
The processing of a user request in AS ABAP, as outlined in the figure, involves different
processes on all three layers (presentation, application, and database).
The screen entries of a user are accepted by the SAP presentation program SAP GUI,
converted to an internal format, and then forwarded to AS ABAP.
