All requests that come in from presentation server are directed first to the dispatcher.
The dispatcher writes them first to the dispatcher queue.
The dispatcher pulls the requests from the queue on a first-in, first-out basis.
Each request is then allocated to the first available work process.
A work process handles one process at a time.
OPERATING SYSTEM
BASIS
ABAP/4
MM PP SD FI HR
ABAP/4 programs do not access operating system functions directly. Instead, they use Basis functions to perform file I/O.
Basis is like an operating system for R/3. It sits between the ABAP/4 code and the computer's operating system. SAP likes to call it middleware because it sits in the middle.
Basis provides runtime environment for ABAP/4 programs.
