Hi all,

hi,

yes it is Application Layer.

By transaction AL11 we can view files on Application layer.

It Displays SAP Directories

Hi Charles,

Yes, it is Application layer. But you wont have a access

of using that transaction. You require permissions for that.

Application layer is nothing but it 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.

Theoretically, you only need one application server to run an R/3 System. In practice, the services are distributed across more than one application server. This means that not all application servers will provide the full range of services. The message server is responsible for communication between the application servers. It passes requests from one application server to another within the system. It also contains information about application server groups and the current load balancing within them. It uses this information to choose an appropriate server when a user logs onto the system.

You can upload and download the files to application layer

also.

I hope this will be helpful for you.

Cheers,
