adding server processes

[Former Member]

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to know the optimal number of server processes to have on an instance, and if there is a detailed documentation on what to do when adding a server process.

Thanks for your help,

Best regards,

Hello Sunil,

Thank you for the quick reply. I had already visit this link but it does not give a lot of additionnal information. Is adding a server process as simple as described ? Aren't there any things to check or parameters to change in addition to this procedure ?

Thanks for your help,

Ok, thanks for the answer. On our production system, we have 2,5 CPUs and 20Gb of memory. Do you know what is the best number of server processes we should add ?

Thanks,

Hi,

Did you add additional resource (memory/CPU) since last installation of SAPXI if not then do not add new server process because installer already configure optimum number of process based on your available h/w resource.

Adding new server process could lead to slow performance.
