Architecture of the SAP DB Loader 

The SAP DB Loader has a client/server architecture.

·        Clients: SAP DB Loader CLI (LOADERCLI), clients through Perl, Python and JAVA interfaces

·        Server: Loader.

The SAP DB Loader is also remote-enabled, which means that the SAP DB Loader and database instance can be installed on different computers.

The client of the SAP DB Loader (for example, SAP DB Loader CLI) is remote-enabled, which means that the client and Loader can be installed on different computers. It is important that the media (for example files) of the SAP DB Loader must always be on the computer that the Loader is installed on.

In practice, the following configuration is frequently used:
All SAP DB Loader components are on one computer, and the database instance is on another computer.

Explanation

...

       1.      When requested by the client (for example, SAP DB Loader CLI), the Loader is started directly, without the X server being called.

       2.      Communication between the Loader and the database kernel is established via the X server.
