Work Manager 6.1 Sizing Guide Query

[stephen_kringas]

Hi,

Looking at the official Work Manager 6.1 sizing guide and comparing it to the Work Manager 6.0 guide and it seems there has been a large jump in the suggested hardware for SMP.

I understand the WM6.0 runs on SMP 2.3 and WM6.1 is on SMP 3.0, but I'm surprised that the difference seems so large.

E.g. For a medium landscape with 1000 syncs/hour:

Work Manager / SMP	SMP SAPS (suggested)
Work Manager 6.0	2,000
Work Manager 6.1	55,500

Could someone clarify why this would be?

Thanks,

Stephen

The Sizing Document has been updated for the SMP Server and appear to be much more reasonable.

The SAP ABAP & DB Server recommondations are still the same and don't seem right.

E.g

Large Data Volume & 2000 syncs/hr

SAP DB Server -  393,500 SAPS

SAP ABAP Server - 127,500 SAPS

From the Sizing benchmarks an IBM Server with 271,080 SAPS has 8 Processors / 120 Cores / 1TB of RAM

Cheers,

Stephen

We noticed the same discrepancy and are inquiring internally for a better answer.  I do know the numbers are not based on the same data set information but going forward they will be.  I'll post more when I get it here.

Thanks for chasing that up Bill.

Another thing I noticed is at the bottom of the WM6.1 guide, it states that the minimum SMP3.0 server hardware requirement is:

Processor: 1 Intel Quad Core @ 2.00 GHz

RAM: 17GB

Operating System: Windows 2008 Server R2

But SAP Note. 1904213 - SAP Mobile Platform Server Release Information states the minimum requirements are:

CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at 2 GHz or higher, or equivalent AMD processor

RAM - 4 GB

Cheers,

Stephen
