Unicode Memory (RAM) requirements

[Former Member]

Hello. In a three tier system, does the documented +50% increase in RAM for Unicode vs. non-Unicode systems apply to both the DB and Application Instances, or just the DB?

Many thanks in advance

Both will be affected (maybe for application instances a little bit less than 50%)

Hi Mark,

The documented recommendation (+50%) generally for both. DB and Application Instance. However, my experience is that the Memory requirement increases majorly in Application instances (as you have to almost double your R/3 buffers, parameter area etc) whereas extra CPU is mainly used in DB instance.

Please check note 790099 for detail.
