Number of concurrent connections on a single userid?

[Former Member]

.NETters,

We are designing a custom ASP.NET web application for a school district. In a simple scenario, the student can browse through the web and get the list of courses. The actual information is stored on a SAP server. The ASP.NET page invokes a custom RFC to get the listing and display it to the user.

From the Web application, the idea is to use a single SAP userid/password to connect to the SAP server and invoke the RFC. This is an Internet application. Almost anyone can browse the web. Obviously, it doesn't make sense to create a userid for each individual browsing the web.

The question is, is there a limit on the number of concurrent connections per SAP userid? There are 120000 students in the school district. At any time, we expect about 150 users to be browsing the web on an average.

As this is a typical Internet scenario, what does SAP recommend for such scenarios?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

For your scenario using 'Connection Pooling' will be the Best option to handle the Concurrent users using single SAP userid.

Based on the Max Concurrent users and usage pattern, the parameters like pool size and idle time can be set for the best performance.
