 Founded in 1972.
 SAP – Systems, Applications and Products in data

processing
 AG is short for Aktiengesellschaft.
 Headquartered in  Walldorf, Germany.
 SAP’s ERP comes in two versions:

◦ Mainframe version – SAP R/2

◦ Client-server version – SAP R/3
 Mostly used product – SAP R/3 for open client/server
systems.
 R/3 is accepted as the standard in key industries such as
oil, chemicals, consumer products and high technology
and electronics.
 SAP has 47,578 employees in over 50 countries

(December 31, 2009)

 It is the most successful vendor of standard business-

application software.
 Fourth largest independent software supplier in the

world.
 Since 1988, SAP AG share has been traded in german
and swiss stock exchanges.
 In 1995, company was added to DAX, index of german

blue-chip companies.
 It also listed its ADRs on NYSE in august 1998.
 SAP was awarded Industry Week’s Best Managed

Companies in 1999.
 The power of SAP software lies in real-time
integration, linking a company’s business
processes and applications, and supporting
immediate responses to change throughout
the organization on a departmental,
divisional or global scale.
 It also has applications that support multiple

currencies, automatic-handling of country-

specific import/export, tax, legal and
language requirements.
 SAP R/3 is the enterprise software produced by SAP AG.

 It is an enterprise-wide information system designed to

coordinate all the resources, information, and activities
needed to complete business processes such as order
fulfillment or billing and so on.

 Simplify business transaction processing and thus work

load is reduced.
 The first version of SAP's enterprise software was a
financial Accounting system named SAP R/1.

 In 1970, SAP R/2 was in a mainframe based business

application software suite, with multi-currency and
multi-language capabilities built in.

 With the advent of distributed client–server computing

SAP AG brought out a client–server version of the
software called SAP R/3 .
 The "R" was for "Real-time data processing" and 3
was for 3-tier. This new architecture is compatible with
multiple platforms and operating systems, such
as Microsoft Windows or UNIX.

 SAP R/3 was officially launched on 6 July 1992. It was

renamed SAP ERP and later again renamed SAP
ECC (ERP Central Component).

 The
newest version of the suite is My SAP 2007 or SAP
ECC 7.0.

SAP based the architecture of R/3 on a three-tier
client/server model.

 Presentation Server(GUI)
 Application Server
 Database Server
 The presentation server is actually a program named sapgui.exe.

 To start it, the user double-clicks on an icon.

 When started, the presentation server displays the R/3 menus within a
window. This window is commonly known as the SAPGUI, or the
user interface.

 The interface accepts input from the user in the form of keystrokes,
mouse-clicks, and function keys, and sends these requests to the
application server to be processed.

 The application server sends the results back to the SAPGUI which
then formats the output for display to the user.
 An application server is a executables that collectively interpret the
ABAP/4 (Advanced Business Application Programming / 4th
Generation) programs and manage the input and output for them. 

 Each application server has a profile that specifies its characteristics

when it starts up and while it is running. For example, an application
server profile specifies:
• Number of processes and their types
• Amount of memory each process may use
• Length of time a user is inactive before being automatically
logged off.

 The Application layer consists of one or more application servers and

a message server. Each application server contains a set of services
used to run the R/3 system.
