Background documentation Administration of Standalone Engines  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

This section contains the administration tasks for additional installable entities that function “standalone”, and which are not really SAP NetWeaver systems.

They provide a specific server function in combination with the AS ABAP or the AS Java:

      SAP Web Dispatcher

The SAP Web dispatcher lies between the Internet and your SAP system. It is the entry point for HTTP(s) requests into your system, which consists of one or more Web application servers. As a "software web switch", the SAP Web dispatcher can reject or accept connections. When it accepts a connection, it balances the load to ensure an even distribution across the servers.

      Standalone Enqueue Server

If you want to guarantee high availability for your SAP system from all the software and hardware components you are using, you will benefit from using the standalone enqueue. The use of the standalone enqueue server means that the crucial component (enqueue server with lock table) is kept as small as possible. Instead of the classical central instance in your system (entire application server with enqueue work process and lock table – usually the message server also runs on this server), you have one slim line central instance consisting of the enqueue server and the message server only. It is far easier to make this one central instance a high availability (HA) solution.
