Java Stack and Client

[Former Member]

In the ABAP stack "client" is a very important concept.

Why there is no "client" concept in Java stack? When I login to java stack, why there is no entry for client?

Hi,

you can have multiple clients in an XI system but only one can keep the role of the Integration Server. All other clients may act as application systems (most probably not done in reality).

In a double-stack installation the J2EE engine is always connected to one client in the ABAP system. In a XI system this is always the client where the Integration Server is running.

The reason why there is no client conecpt in a J2EE engine is that only java applications are running there. There are no tables containing business data as we know this from ABAP.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Juergen. That gives me enough to understand the concept.

Hi,

SAP R/3 has concept of Client. ABAP Stack or the Integration engine is nothing but a client of R/3.

JAVA stack is based on concept of J2EE.

Vijaya, I can install XI with no R3, in that case when the pipeline runs what client will the ABAP stack use?
