ABAP Environment number of batch workprocesses

[hendrikp]

Hello,

is it possible to switch dialog work processes for more batch work processes? If not how can one increase the number of batch workprocesses in an abap environment runtime?

Hello,

operation modes switch is not supported in our product. So it is not possible to change the number of batch work processes.

Such technical configuration is also not planned to be offered. The reason is that you could block all CPUs with Batch processes and block dialog processes which are typically required for more urgent things.

So we need to have a reasonable relation between CPUs, dialog work processes and batch work processes.

To increase the number of batch work processes you finally have to increase the number of CPUs.

Therefore we use the ABAP Compute Units. ACUs stand for the resources you get - memory and CPUs.

Thanks for the answer!

Is there an overview how many ACUs correspond with how many dialog,batch etc workprocesses?

Hi,

we don't have an overview of the amount of memory / WPs offered per ACU.

Some reasons are:

• memory and processes are also consumed by SAP.
• memory and processes are also consumed by customer without being available directly for application requests, but rather indirectly - to optimize request operation.
• we cannot ensure they remain stable due to different hyper scalers with different hardware offerings.

I will see if we can improve the documentation to provide at least rough numbers.

Hi,

It is possible only via operation modes switch.

as far i know, there is no other way through which DIA will switch to BTC.
