Sizing Guideline for Sourcing 7.0

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have read the Sizing Guideline for Sourcing 7.0 in the Installation Guide. For a small installation (less than 50 concurrent users) SAP is recommending the following:

App Server - Quad Core Processor, 16 GB

DB Server - Quad Core Processor, 16 GB

Having done WAS JAVA sizing for quite sometime, I feel this is on a very higher side. In our implementation we will have max 10 concurrent users. So I feel the following should be good enough

App + DB Server - Dual Core Processor, 8 GB

As per my exp, 1core and 4GB will be for OS and DB, remaining 1core and 4 GB for 1 CE Server Node.

I request all the experienced people please suggest if this will work. If not please share some rational so that I can convince the customer rationally without saying thats minimum recommendation from SAP

Regards,

Jai

Hi Jai,

Are you sure concurrent users will be 10 (buyside and sellside).

From my experience with E-Sourcing 5.1 your configuration should work fine for Sourcing 7 as well.

Thanks Ankush.

Yes there will be only 10 concurrent users

I also wanted to know if you have also installed optimizer and contract generation on the same server or used another server as per SAP recommendation.

Jai,

Optimizer can be on same server as of contract generation, CG use very little memory as its only service used to created document for CLM. but it should be on different server other than E-Sourcing server

E-Sourcing can work without optimizer also, Its is prefered where there are complex bid responses or large no of response are there.
