It Depends upon your System Memory

ex: 8GB RAM, you may have 10 Dialog WP, 6 Background WP, 2 Spool WP, 1 update, 1 message, 1 gateway, 1 enqueue. ( this is optional)

where as for Appl Servers, u need to have the same WP, except message and gateway. 1 spool 1 enqueue ( This is optional)

hi,

Dialog Work Process

Dialog work processes deal with requests from an active user to execute dialog steps (see also Dialog Programming).

Update Work Process

Update work processes execute database update requests. Update requests are part of an SAP LUW that bundle the database operations resulting from the dialog in a database LUW for processing in the background.

Background Work Process

Background work processes process programs that can be executed without user interaction (background jobs).

Enqueue Work Process

The enqueue work process administers a lock table in the shared memory area. The lock table contains the logical database locks for NetWeaver AS ABAP and is an important part of the SAP LUW concept. In NW AS, you may only have one lock table. You may therefore also only have one ABAP application server with enqueue work processes. Normally, a single enqueue work process is sufficient to perform the required tasks.

Spool Work Process

The spool work process passes sequential datasets to a printer or to optical archiving. Each ABAP application server may contain only one spool work process.

Hope this helps, Do reward.
