What is SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP in SAP (NW - SAP NetWeaver)?

SAP Term: SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP

• Component: NW

• Component Name: SAP NetWeaver

• Description: Component of Application Server intended for application programming in ABAP. It replaces SAP Basis. Application Server ABAP provides the ABAP runtime environment. It is a type of client/server system that is constructed of at least three software layers: the presentation layer, the application layer, and the database layer. It also includes communications components such as Internet Communication Manager ICM and the RFC Remote Function Call interface. SAP AS ABAP allows ABAP application programs to run independently of the hardware, operating systems, and database used. ABAP programs can run in one SAP AS ABAP only. Each SAP AS ABAP has its own user administration concept, based on user master records. A standalone SAP AS ABAP without application components is the smallest possible ABAP-based SAP system.
