This slide depicts how an application server works. Users make requests at the presentation layer and through TCP/IP these requests get sent to the application server. The dispatcher then takes the requests and assign them to work processes which handle the requests. More detailed explanations are on the following slides. 3 2010 Wipro Ltd Internal and Restricted

Operation Modes :
Purpose :
Operating modes are the way that R/3 system allows for flexible configuration of available services (work processes) Maximizing the use of available system resources Automatic switching of work process types Operating mode is used when there is a requirement of large no of back ground jobs to be run during less work load. To Alter the no of work processes. eg :-

1. It converts specified no of dialog processes to back ground work process during night time.
2. During day time it converts no of back ground work process to dialog processes.
