Seperate Central Instance and Database

[Former Member]

Hi All,

i have a very general question on netweaver abap system performance.

under what conditions would you regard a seperation of the central instance and the database on two physical hosts concerning performance?

do you have experience of the potential administrative "overhead" of such a configuration?

many thanks for your thoughts.

Hi,

IMHO, it's interesting to separate the CI and the database if you are limited by hardware resources and I think specially about CPU and/or memory.

If not, you will not get a performance increase.

On 64 bit hardware, we did not hit any of these 2 limitations (with 8 cpus and 32 GB ram).

We only separated CI and DB on a sytem which needs to be HA and so to run on an MCSC cluster.

There is not much administration overhead. Just a little bit more configuration (the standalone gataway part to be able to run BRTOOLS and DB13 jobs).

Otherwise using a cluster has much more administration overhead...
