A.
Work process
B.
Dispatcher
C.
The buffer
D.
SAP GUI
Correct Answer

The SAP Web Application Server database interface enables you to:
A.
Enhance performance using the local buffers
B.
Access online databases on the Internet
C.
Use database-independent OPEN SQL in ABAP programs
D.
Access file content on the SAP Web Application Server
Correct Answer(s)
A. Enhance performance using the local buffers C. Use database-independent OPEN SQL in ABAP programs
Explanation When the ABAP Interpreter sends a query to the database, the database interface reads the data from the SAP Web Application Server’s local buffer, if possible. If the data required is not present in the buffer, then the interface turns the Open SQL statement from the ABAP coding into database-specific native SQL coding. The database interface is not used to access the content of online databases on the Internet or files on the SAP Web Application Server

The term "central Instance" describes the instance...
A.
That you are logged on while working in the system
B.
On which all application processes required for operating an SAP system are configured
C.
On which the gateway process is configured
D.
On which the majority of work process are configured
E.
On which the majority of dialog work processes are configured
Correct Answer
B. On which all application processes required for operating an SAP system are configured
Explanation The central instance is the instance on which all application processes required for operating an SAP system are configured. Specifically, the central instance therefore also contains processes that are only present once per system (such as the message server). Every instance has a gateway process, the existence of a gateway process does not therefore denote the central instance. The number of dialog work processes, or the total number of work processes configured on the central instance is not relevant in this context.

What tasks does the task handler carry out
A.
Communicates with SAP GUI
B.
Coordinates activities within the work process
C.
Access the database
D.
Processes the ABAP coding on which a transaction is based
Correct Answer
B. Coordinates activities within the work process
Explanation The task handler coordinates activities within a work process. The work process and the user.s SAP GUI do not communicate directly, but through the dispatcher. The database is accessed through the database interface and the ABAP coding is executed by the ABAP processor
Rate this question:
15.
Is the assignment of users to dialog work processes fixed?
A.
Yes, it is fixed for the entire time that the user is logged on to the SAP system
B.
Yes, it exists for the entire duration of a transaction consisting of several screen
C.
No. Each dialog step of a transaction, consisting of several screens can theoretically be processed by a different work process
D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. No. Each dialog step of a transaction, consisting of several screens can theoretically be processed by a different work process
Explanation The dispatcher reassigns the user to a dialog work process for each dialog step in a transaction. The assignment of users to dialog work processes is therefore not fixed. (The only exception to this rule is the debugging mode, in which one dialog process is assigned to one specific user.)

A.
True
B.
False
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation It does not make sense to configure enqueue work processes on different SAP Web Application Servers, since there can be only one lock table per SAP system and this lock table is located in the main memory of the SAP Web Application Server on which the enqueue work process is configured
Rate this question:
19.
Why are asynchronous updates used for dialog transactions
A.
Only asynchronous updates can access the SAP system buffers
B.
Because an SAP transaction can consist of several database transactions and this approach means that the requirements for the rollback are met
C.
Because only update work processes can access the database data
D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Because an SAP transaction can consist of several database transactions and this approach means that the requirements for the rollback are met
Explanation Asynchronous updates solve the problems caused by the different interpretations of transaction at database level and at SAP level. Bundling all updates for one SAP transaction into a single database transaction ensures that the data that belongs to this SAP transaction can be rolled back completely. Every work process is continuously connected to the database, therefore every work process can access the database dataset. Access to the SAP system buffers does not depend on the type of update used
Rate this question:
20.

A.
Update work process
B.
Dispatcher
C.
Recording work process
D.
