Running update services on dialog instance

[former_member84834]

What is the advantage to running the Update, Update2, Enqueue and Spool processes on a dialog instance? If my central instance is not overworked and has available Update, Update2, Enqueue and Spool processes is there an advantage to running these services on the DI?

The bottom line question "will response times for update services be reduced if I'm running these services on the DI?

Hi,

In some rare cases, when the update rate is very high, it is necessary to use Update processes on Dialog instances.

We have 1 production SAP R/3 4.7 system using the SD module where we had to create 22 UPD processes and 20 UP2 processes.

On the CI we have 6 UPD and 4 UP2.

On each of the 8 DI we have 2 UPD and 2 UP2.

All these processes are used. we have some thing like 30 millions UPD+UP2 dialog steps per month.

We also had to create 2 ENQ processes on the CI.

hi Timothy,

why do you need to run update service on Dialog instance , as from the defination given by SAP about Dialog instance will only have dialog work process, if you add other workprocess to that it will become Central Instance...

hope that you got my point
