Before You Start 
SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search is delivered as a software that contains several components on one operating system, but appears to the outside world as a single application. All components are handled together as one system.
SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search comprises the following components:
SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.2
SAP NetWeaver AS Java 7.2
The Java component is required only for performing administrative life-cycle management tasks, such as for live update functions. With regard to runtime, performance, and scaling for SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search, only the Application Server ABAP is important.
Search and Classification Engine (TREX)
SAP Central Services (SCS)
The SCS component groups together various services necessary to run AS ABAP and AS Java, such as SAP Message Server, SAP Gateway, SAP Web Dispatcher, and SAProuter.
