Sap R 3 Performance Optimization

Following on the success of Developing SAP's R/3 Applications with ABAP/4, SAP and Sybex have joined forces to deliver a full series of practical guides on the most pressing topics. Written by SAP authors with SAP technical endorsement, these books are perfect for IT managers, consultants, administrators, implementers, and many other computing professionals.

SAP Performance Optimization Guide is the definitive compendium on performance for all SAP components. This new edition contains all the valuable information of the previous editions: the fundamentals of analyzing and optimizing SAP system performance, critical architectural aspects of all important SAP backend servers, and tools and hints for analyzing and tuning performance. The author has also added a new focus on SAP NetWeaver BW, including new concepts in index design and data modeling, as well as coverage of SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator, based on TREX. In addition to the SAP NetWeaver BW content, the book is further enriched with updates related to SAP NetWeaver 7.1 and SAP Solution Manager Enterprise Edition, and also provides more in-depth information on sizing. After reading this book, you will be able to analyze and resolve any standard performance problem in any given SAP component.

Optimize the performance and economical running of your SAP-System - the new edition of this book shows you how! Whether you administer an R/3 or one of the newest mySAP-Solutions, you learn how to systematically identify and analyze performance problems. Another focus is the adaptation of appropriate tuning measures and verification of success. Performance optimization includes the technical side as well as the analysis of applications. For the new edition the book has been thoroughly revised and brought up to date. A new chapter provides insight into the connection of the system to the Internet with the help of Web AS.

The goal of this text is to describe the technical design aspects of the IT infrastructure; it does not give the details of installing and customizing SAP software, nor business process reengineering. Using primarily HP products for the solution examples, the chapters guide the reader through the foundation of the systems from an IT perspective, reviews its business application and architecture and introduces the server systems, then describes data storage, high availability and recovery solutions, client PCs with front-end user interfaces, output management and printing solutions, network infrastructure and requirements, cabling designs, LANs and WANs, and connecting mySAP.com to the Internet. Both authors are members of the HP-SAP International Competence Center. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Initially, computer systems performance analyses were carried out primarily because of limited resources. Due to ever increasing functional complexity of computational systems and user requirements, performance engineering continues to play a major role in software development. This book assesses the state of the art in performance engineering. Besides revised chapters drawn from two workshops on performance engineering held in 2000, additional chapters were solicited in order to provide complete coverage of all relevant aspects. The first part is devoted to the relation between software engineering and performance engineering; the second part focuses on the use of models, measures, and tools; finally, case studies with regard to concrete technologies are presented. Researchers, professional software engineers, and advanced students interested in performance analysis will find this book an indispensable source of information and reference.

Discusses the major topics and strategies that relate to operations management. Covers “modern” subjects such as human resources in operations, facility location, "green" operations, and the balanced scorecard approach to operations. Includes end-of-chapter projects and exercises, plus review questions and summary points.

This book describes the theory, algorithms, and practical implementation techniques behind transaction processing in information technology systems.
