When a user sends a request to an SAP system via a web browser, the web request is first handled by the Internet Communication Manager (ICM).
Here's a step-by-step explanation:
User Request: When a user wants to access SAP services, they use a web browser to send an HTTP(S) request.
ICM (Internet Communication Manager): This request is first intercepted by the ICM. The ICM is responsible for handling incoming and outgoing HTTP, HTTPS, and SMTP requests. It acts as a bridge between the network communication layer and the SAP application layer, ensuring that web-based requests are efficiently processed and forwarded within the SAP system.
The answer is (A) ICM.
