The values listed in the following table for the host systems and server should ensure the best possible operation of your SAP application sever for up to 15 users.

The lower limit values represent a type of minimum configuration for small SAP installations.

Main Memory and Swap Space on the Host System

Resource

SAP Recommendation

Size of swap space

Minimum: the greater of the 2 following numbers:

  • 1 GB
  • three times the main memory

Recommendation: 2 -3 GB

Main memory

Minimum: 256 MB (without a database) You will achieve performance advantages with a larger main memory.

Recommendation: min. 512 MB

This value is recommended for hosts where only one SAP server runs. If you install the database system or other servers on a host, contact the Hardware Competence Center or your system consultant.
