Export of a Report to an External File You can export reports to an external file on the presentation server or to a file on the application server.
The application server is the computer that is running the SAP system (for example, a UNIX-based workstation assigned to your department).
The presentation server is the computer that is running your SAP interface (for example, a PC linked to an SAP application server).
For more information on these two alternative functions, see Exporting a Report to a Presentation Server and Exporting a Report to an Application Server .
