Is it necessary to separate B1i application and database?

[ssab_wenx]

Hey guys familiar with B1i,

I am using B1 10.0 and B1i  1.0.  Recently I’ve encountered issues with B1i performance. The message log keeps reporting "XCE208 Resource is busy" error while handling the event message. It's not always but sometimes. I login the B1i server and it seems the integration service and SQL Server take up most of the memory, reaches to 90%.

I used to be a dotnet developer. In my book, it's always a good design to deploy the application and database to standalone server since they are both memory intense services.

So my question is  should I separate B1i application and database to different server? Is it risky or will be benefit for the B1i performance? It will be great if we have the answer from the B1 official answer.

Thanks!

Hi ssab_wenx

For optimal performance, please install Integration framework on seperate server.

Also check SAP note   2130388  for the "XCE208 resource is busy" error.

Hi, we have two DI proxy instance now and I think it is enough for current daily transaction.

I am more concerned about how to separate the B1if application and database. Do you know of any official documentation to guide how to do this? For the database, it is just a simple backup and restore to the new server, but I am not sure what related configuration files in B1if need to be modified.
