How many work processes are recommended by SAP for 16 GB RAM ?

This is the calculation for determining the number of work process according to the available memory for the system.

- Number of dialog work processes = RAM/256 (min 2, max 18)

- Number of update work processes = RAM/768 (min 1, max 6)

- Number of update2 work processes = RAM/1024 (min 1, max 3)

- Number of batch work processes = RAM/1024 (min 2, max 3)

- Number of enqueue work processes = 1

- Number of spool work processes = 1

You can also refer the following link regarding memory management in SAP .

It explains the calculation based on number of processors for the server.

These rules are just a guide to set up your system at the beginning.

In real life, you have to observe your system and then to tune it according to its real load.

You are right Olivier.. But his question was how to determine the work process for a 16 GB ram machine.

> In real life, you have to observe your system and then to tune it according to its real load.

As of now, he has not mentioned any real life observation over here. . I guess by reading the memory management in SAP, he should be able to understand.
