"SAPS" Performance Measurement?

[Former Member]

I was looking at the hardware and software requirements for the MDM GUI's. They listed the CPU speed requirements in "SAPS". I hvan't been able to find what a SAPS is?

Thanks,

John

Dear John,

SAPS Definition

-

---

The SAP Application Performance Standard (SAPS) is a hardware independent unit, which describes the performance of a system configuration in the SAP environment. It is derived from the SD Standard Application benchmark, where 100 SAPS are defined as 2,000 fully business processed order line items per hour.

In technical terms, this throughput is achieved by processing 6,000 dialog steps (screen changes), 2,000 postings per hour in the SD benchmark, or 2,400 SAP transactions.

Fully business processed in the SD Standard Application Benchmark means the full business process of an order line item: creating the order, creating a delivery note for this order, displaying the order, changing the delivery, posting a goods issue, listing orders, and creating an invoice.

Using SAPS for Sizing

If, for example, a sizing table for a portal suggests a configuration of 1,000 SAPS, you can check the SD benchmark table for a sample configuration. If you set the sort order in the SAPS column, you will see a number of benchmark tests that can give you an idea about which configurations are likely to fulfill your requirements.
