SAP BW(NW2004s) Development and SAP BW Production(NW2004s) on Single Server

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

Currently we are having BW development and BW production on seperate IBM iseries servers with AS400.

Can we have dev and prd on same servers. What would be the implications of this landscape.

Please provide me the links for documentation (if any).

Waiting for the reply.

Thanks and regards,

Vinayak

I wouldn't put the two systems in the same server.

Simply... you'll find yourself with a single point of failure, any downtime required for OS maintainance or failure will affect the whole environment, having the two system in the same box could affect performance (depending on the resources available)... etc, etc....

In my opinion having a 2 tier environment is not ideal... and having them in the same box is even worst.

Thats my 2 cents

Hi Juan,

Yes, I do agree with your opinion. But knowing this facts, if one installs dev and prd on same server would their be any technical issues while operating BW?.

Do reply. your cents are on your way.
