Server for BPM Sizing

[Former Member]

Hi there,

We have to find some information about the sizing of a server to use BPM on it. The standard SAP's tool QuickSizing doesn't have BPM to sizing, unfortunately.

Does somebody have some experience in sizing server for BPM?

Our requirement are the following:

- about ~7000 process instances in an year

- ~1000 processors, it could be ~300 processors in a one day

- one type of the process have 3 processors, the other ~1000 (dynamic assignment)

What king of CPU, amount of RAM and HDD's space does we need?

Hi Phillip,

We made a request to the SAP .

Here you are the Questionnaire:

1)The application will use BPM: [Yes/No]

2) The application will use BRM (if checked please answer questions 2a u2013 2c) [Yes/No]

a. How many external applications call the rules engine?

b. How many rules (or rule sets) are used?

c. Do the rules require accessing data from other systems in order to run? [Yes/No]

3) How many named users will the application have?

4) How many named users will access the system once or more per day?

5) How many active tasks would a user typically have in the Universal Work List?

6) What is the peak concurrent user load? (see glossary for a definition of concurrent user)

7) What is the average concurrent user load?

In our case there is a 70 SAPS for very concurrent user. A concurrent user is one who is active within a 30 second time period.

The value of SAPS is dependent on answers in 2).

Hi Kirill,

As NetWeaver BPM is part of NetWeaver CE, you size according to NetWeaver CE server requirements.

Thank you for your answer, but it means nothing.

Found a SAP's document to make sizing for BPM. Closed.

Hi Huda,

as I said earlier we made a request to SAP's sales and gave them all needed information. Also in my previous post I described the way how it is computed.
