    Multiple Application servers can share a single database server.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Multiple application servers can share a single database server because the database server is designed to handle multiple connections from different application servers simultaneously. Each application server can establish a connection to the database server and perform database operations independently. This allows for efficient resource utilization and scalability in a distributed system architecture.

    We can use the following methods to login to an SAP server : (2 correct answers)

    • SAP GUI

    • MS Word

    • MS Access

    • A Browser

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. SAP GUI
    A. A Browser
    Explanation
    The correct answers for logging into an SAP server are SAP GUI and a browser. SAP GUI is a graphical user interface that provides a user-friendly way to access the SAP system, while a browser can also be used to access the SAP server through web-based interfaces like SAP NetWeaver Business Client. MS Word and MS Access are not valid methods for logging into an SAP server as they are not designed for this purpose.

    The following database cannot be used as a database in a SAP server?

    • MS Access

    • Oracle

    • SAP HANA database

    • MS SQL

    Correct Answer
    A. MS Access
    Explanation
    MS Access cannot be used as a database in a SAP server because SAP servers typically require a more robust and scalable database system. MS Access is a desktop database management system primarily used for small-scale applications and lacks the scalability and performance capabilities needed for enterprise-level systems like SAP. SAP servers commonly use database systems like Oracle, SAP HANA, and MS SQL, which are designed to handle large volumes of data and provide advanced features required by SAP applications.

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above" because DIA, UPD, and ENQ are all types of work processes. DIA stands for Dialog, which refers to a process that interacts with the user. UPD stands for Update, which refers to a process that updates data. ENQ stands for Enqueue, which refers to a process that manages locks on data objects. Therefore, all three options mentioned in the question are valid work process types.

    Which of the following informations are mandatory to connect to an SAP server located in the same network, from SAP GUI front end? (3 correct answers)  

    • Application server name

    • Instance number

    • SID

    • SAProuter string

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Application server name
    A. Instance number
    A. SID
    Explanation
    To connect to an SAP server located in the same network from the SAP GUI front end, three pieces of information are mandatory: the application server name, the instance number, and the SID (System ID). The application server name identifies the specific server within the network, the instance number specifies the instance of the SAP system running on the server, and the SID is a unique identifier for the SAP system. These three pieces of information are necessary to establish a connection between the SAP GUI front end and the SAP server. The SAProuter string, on the other hand, is not required for connecting to an SAP server in the same network.
