Hi Sudheer ,

I am not sure I understand fully what you mean by  differences between server and client components, but here what I think I understandand I am  also assuming that  you are referring to DS 3.x version.

When you install Data Services,  you have a choice of selection between server and client components.  These  components may have different requirements basedon the given supported platforms. For example you can install DS client designer on Vista OS whereas you can't for the job server. Likewise you can install server components on a Unix platform but not DS client tools. Alternatively on a supported Windows server you can install everything if needed.

So basically you need to verify the supported platform document OS ( http://service.sap.com/bosap-support ) look for Desktop and Server products.

Furthermore, here is what you get when you install DS with explanation of what each component does:

Server components:

• Access server: Provide realtime access to DS.
• Job Server: Executes batch DS jobs
• Technology Interface: Provides access to technologies such JMS and Salesforce.com
• Metadata Integrator: Collects metadata from BOE system for impact and analysis

Client:

• Designer
• Repository:Creates and manages all types of DS repositories(Local,Central,profiler)

Web-tier:

• Management Console: Web application that manages DS environment

Message client components :

• Client SDK

Documentation.

Hope this helps.
