hello Rajesh,

Did you go this through this:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/41/7af4bfa79e11d1950f0000e82de14a/content.htm

Check this out.

Anyways as you know in SAP the user acting a presentation level tries to read/write data from database using SAP application layer. This entire activity consists of several dialog steps (small activities if you may) and is termed as a LUW. So an SAP LUW consists of several dialog steps which are dependent on each other. Only if all are completed is a LUW executed successfully and in case of any failures entire thing is roll backed and terminated.

And if you want the full form of it...

LUW= Logical Unit of Work

Since the performance of an Application Server can me measured using the response time per Dialog Step.
