Programming under Various Constellations
Programming under Various Constellations
Various constellations are possible for communication between programs within the SAP world (R/2 and R/3), and between SAP programs and external programs.
Communication is based on various protocols, depending on constellation:
If the R/2 host is a BS2000 System, the SAP Gateway runs under DCAM in BS2000 and communicates with R/3 or an external program on the basis of TCP/IP.
The SAP Gateway is always necessary for communication via one of the interfaces implemented by SAP.
The individual constellations are described in the following.
