R/3 Application Server Questions

27 Views

Hi,

When an RFC is called by a Portal what work process retrieves the data from the R/3 database?

If multiple users are using the same iView (For e.g. Display Sales Orders) and multiple requests for retrieving the same data are send to R/3 does the dispatcher (application server in R/3) handle the requests in the same fashion as it would do in a typical R/3 scenario (where multiple users use SAPGui).

In our current project we are considering replicating customer master data in R/3 to an external database and access this new database (for customer search) in order to speed up the process.

This is just a proposal and has many disadvantages but will the performance be any better than if the data came from R/3?

Clearly we would be bypassing the application server layer of R/3 by going to the external database instead of going to R/3 to look up data. Are there any disadvantages of bypassing the application layer? How would load balancing happen in this case, if multiple users fire the customer search queries?
