Message Server in 3 Tier Architecture

Hi Everyone,

what is Message server? where it is actually used?

why iam asking this is, iam installing SAP Ecc 6. in Distribution method in my Server.le., we have one server for SAP application & another server for SQL Databse. Application Instance will run in one server, DB instance should run in another server.

For that, iam generating solution manager key. while generating it is asking for "Message server"

what i have to give here, either my SAP application server host name or Database server host name.

Also, plz share me your ideas and advice me on this how to proceed further

Thanks & Regads,

Siva
