Is it ok to have two spool work processes on one server?

[former_member197700]

Hi gurus,

We have just one server for the SAP system and it sometimes has a queue waiting for the one spool work process.  Is it ok to have 2 spool work processes on one server?  I did read note 108799, but it is still unclear if that is ok.

Warm Regards, CM

Yes, it is. I run with two currently, and have had three in previous systems.

Hi

You can have multiple spool work processess for an sap system, the restriction is only for enquee work process where in you can have only one per sap system.

Hi,

You can have multiple spool processes (same as other WPs) on any of the application server, depends on your requirement.

Yes it is possible to configure more.

I have seen systems configured with 4 spool processes.

Hi,

Please check the following notes:

108799 - How many spool work processes for each instance

39412 - How many work processes should be configured?

Note: Restrictions: Spool processes cannot be switched on and off when switching between operation mode

Thanks
