Application Server with over 50 Users (iSeries)
The correct configuration for the memory management system in large SAP Web Application Server depends on the several factors. SAP cannot, therefore, give any recommendations for standard configuration. However, you can calculate your own approximate values by referring to the information in this section and in the other sections that are referred to.
To determine the required resources for the host system, contact the SAP Competence Center of your hardware partner Then you can configure the SAP Web Application Server by setting the memory management parameters in the SAP System profile.
Main and Unprotected Storage on the Host System
|
Resource |
SAP Recommendation |
|
Free auxiliary storage |
Minimum: The greater of the following two values:
In either case, this must be greater than the sum of:
|
|
Main storage |
Guidelines: Central system with all services, no database: 180 MB plus 5.7 MB per active user or at least 512 MBWith database: Add 150 MB plus 0.3 MB per active user Application server: 120 MB plus 5.3 MB per active user An increase in storage improves performance. Please also contact your hardware partner or the SAP Competence Center of your hardware partner. |
