Can anyone tell me what is Server and Instance in sap,wat
is exact meaning of that?

Answer Posted / abhay sequeira

In plain terms 'Server' means a object/componenet that
services request.

Instance in SAP
=================
An Instance in SAP is a combination of Application Server &
Database Server i.e.

When you use the SAP GUI to connect to the Application
Server, the application server in turn communicates to the
database server to service your requests.

The entire Instance is divided into subcomponents
(Application server, Database server) so that the
complexity is reduced, maintenance & deployement becomes
easy. The above are some of the advantages, to understand
what it all means hou have to get hold of some material
that dwelves on 'Client-Server' ARchitecture
