SAP Smart Forms
Type linkage
Database layer: The database layer contains a database server on which all the data of the SAP ERP system is managed. This includes the database management system (DBMS for short) and the actual dataset. The dataset includes user data and data tables as well as applications and system control tables.
Basis includes a client/server architecture and configuration, a relational database management system (DBMS), and a graphical user interface (GUI). In addition to interfaces between system elements, Basis includes a development environment for R/3 applications, a data directory, and user and system administration and monitoring tools.
BENEFITS & CONSEQUENCES
The appropriate SAP Basis team provides support for 24/7 systems. One of the biggest advantages is, the team is familiar with the company infrastructure. They work with it on a daily basis and can provide quick solutions to concrete problems.
Presentation layer: The presentation layer is the interface to the users. With the help of SAP GUI, the data is graphically prepared here and made available to the user on the screen. Furthermore, the data newly collected here is passed on to the application programs of the application layer.
Tools such as "Shortcut for SAP Systems" complement missing functions in the SAP basis area.
In addition, when copies are transported to the test system, no import is created in the production system.
Administrators often need to replicate part or all of a database, for example, to create a system backup or test an upgrade before putting it into production.
