All work processes communicate with the dispatcher. GE. A work process can communicate directly with an external system through a Remote Function Call. CF. It is possible to have multiple enqueue work processes on an SAP NetWeaver Application Server. _ G. tris possible to have multiple spool work processes on an ABAP applica- tion server. Practice Question Answers and Explanations 1. Correctanswer: B Beginning with SAP NetWeaver 6.10, new technologies based on highly scel able infrastructure were implemented to process HTTP requests directly from the Internet or to send them as HTTP client requests to the Internet. The SAP kernel was enhanced to include a process known as the Internet Communica- tion Manager (ICM) to achieve this functionality, 2. Correct answer: B Different SAP NetWeaver components require the SAP NetWeaver Applica- tion Server to be run with certain stacks configured. It is possible to install both the ABAP and Java stacks, but depending on the use of the server, possible to use just ABAP or just Java. 3. Correct answer: € All of the work processes of an ABAP application server use a common main memory area called shared memory to save contexts or to buffer constant data locally. The resources that all work processes use, for example programs and table contents, are contained in shared memory. Memory management in the AS ABAP ensures that the work processes always address the correct context 4, Correct answers: A, D Each individual work process works independently, which makes them suit- able for a multiprocessor architecture, When you start up an AS ABAP, each ABAP application server registers its work processes with the database layer and receives a single dedicated chan- nel for each. While the SAP NetWeaver Application Server is running, each ‘work process is a user (acting 2s a client) of the database system (acting as a76 Chapter3 SAP NetWeaver — Overview server). You cannot change the work process registration while the system is running, Itis also not possible to reassign a database channel from one work process to another. For this reason, a work process can only make database changes within a single database logical unit of work (LUW). A work process ‘must open a separate database LUW for each dialog step. The work process sends a commit command (database commit) to the database at the end of each dialog step in which it makes database changes. These commit com- ‘mands are called implicit database commits, because they are not explicitly written into the application program, 5. Correct answers: B, D, F You can use the system administration functions to switch a work process wiile the system is running. Because each work process has the same struc- ture, they are interchangeable. All work processes must communicate with the dispatcher (which assigns the user to a work process), but enqueue work processes and spool work processes do not communicate with the database. All communication for a work process occurs with either the dispatcher or the database. Whereas it is normal to only have one enqueue work process (a single enqueue work process is normally sufficient to perform the required tasks), {tts possible to have multiple enqueue work processes running. in SAP [NetWeaver Application Server you can only have one lock table, but multiple enqueue work processes, running, Each ABAP application server can contain only one spool work process.
