Theres no way to modify the WP count without restarting the system or adding a new instance.

Now as mentioned before (and marked by you as not an option for some reason) operation modes is the only way to change the wp distribution.

If your requirement is critical then putting a new instance together should not be a huge deal.

Hi,

The answer is simple : this is not possible without changing the numer of SAP intances in the same SID.

The only way to "add" work processes is to install a new dialog server.

Is this an interview question ?

Hi,

We have a scenario to increase the WP since almost 95% WPs are utilised but without taking the system down.

Operations mode is the best way to achieve this (without downtime)

Hi,

As everyone tells you, if you cannot stop and restart the system, your only solution is to install a new dialog instance.

If you have enough hardware ressources, you can install a second dialog instance on the same hardware server.

Installing a new dialog instance will be a bit hectic, if I would have been at your place, I would have used OPERATION MODES. Without this I don't see any other easy way round for you, I agree with the experts.

Hi All,

Thanks for your responses. We had to take downtime and modified the parameter.

At the same, we also configured the parameters to make use of the reserved WPs and dynamic WPs by which the WPs can be added or removed on a running system.
