What is SAP Landscape?

Landscape   is the arrangement for the servers

 

Landscape contains 3 levels

           Level-1                       Level-2                                         Level-3

DEVELOPMENT ---> QUALITY ASSURANCE (QA)----> PRODUCTION

DEVELOPMENT SERVER: 

 is where the consultants do the customization as per the company's requirement. 

                                 It contains 3 clients 

                                          Those are 1.sandbox

                                                           2. Golden (Configuration)

                                                           3.Development

      1. Sand Box : 

              It is used to test out configuration ideas and theories at any time.Here transport request is not generated.so we can't transfer the configuration one client to another client and one server to another server. .

       2. Configuration (Golden)(Customizing Client) :

            Once consultants believe as comfortable with configuration solution in the sand box ,then remake the same configuration in configuration client. In this client no transactions or testing should take place. Transport recording will be turned on here--It should be moved to development testing client

      3. Development testing : 

                         generally unit testing will be done in this client-In some project they     conduct integration testing also here.

QUALITY ASSURANCE (QA) SERVER:

                                 It contains 2 Clients:

                  Those are      1.Quality Assurance 

                                          2.Training clients

      1.Quality Assurance testing

             Where all final testing is done here before moving to Production client. Normally here integration (end to end business process) testing and user acceptance testing (UAT) is conducted.

       2.Training clients-For giving training this client will be used

PRODUCTION SERVER: 

                     is where the live data of the company is recorded.

This is the last/ most refined client where the user will work after project GO LIVE. Any changes/ new development is done is development client and the request is transported to production.

A request will flow from Dev->Qual->Prod and not backwards.
