Hi Afi,

It is correct that the change is taking place in RZ10/a

As an example, you can increase the number of DIA work processes by increasing the parameter rdisp/wp_no_dia in RZ10 (restart required to take effect)

Operation mode switches (in tx RZ04) do only allow to change the type of work processes, but not the overall number.

There is no limitation.The number of work processes is determined by the usage of the system and the available hardware. As rule which I have learned by experience, I would say that the number of dialog process should be at least equal or more than the combined number of other work processes i.e equal to or more than 50% of total work processes during daytime.

Of course bare in mind that if decide for operation modes , more DIA processes should be define in the day operation and more BTC processes during the night operation mode.

Hi,

You can increase the dialog processes by changing the parameter values in Instance profile(RZ10).

Option 2: You can define periods(DAY, NIGHT) and assign the process accordingly.
