Answer / kishen

The main difference between app server and CI is that the
former has message server that communicates with DB and
remaining app servers and also CI posses Enqueue work
process. An App server is a dialog instance meant for
serving the requests by interacting with DB through msg
server of CI. CI need not necessarily contain DB, both can
be in different systems, but in most environments DB and CI
will be in a single box called "DBCI".

The Central instance is administrative unit that combines
all the components of sapsystem providing one or more
services to process user request, the component of central
instance are dispatcher, dialog,update,enqueue,batch,spool
with services like massage server,gateway service. The host
on which CI is configured is called as application server
so "CI and Application server both are one and the same".

Answer / robin

CI contains Message service and Enque service but also
having Dialog, V1 and V2, Spool and BTC

But App. will not have the Message and Enque

App. server requires only when there is a concept called
logon load balance....without which there will be no use
with App.server.

All the time when the user try to loggin into SAP by using
logonpad, the user will get connect to CI only, since CI
contains Message Server, it will redirect the user request
where the resource available, means where the more dailog
processes are in waiting state.....whether in APP1 or APP2.
