Thank you very much Seb,
For your information, we have deployed SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (SAP BPC) over the past few years, we have been facing with some severe performance issues, and the infrastructure has been immediately and constantly blamed for those problems by all kind of people.
We spent a tremendous amount of time and effort trying to prove that the servers configuration were not the problem.
So with the next BI 4.1 implementation, we really want to make sure that we are not building an "unorthodox" BI 4.1 Landscape.
We are thinking of deploying a dedicated Netweaver AS Landscape , which only purpose would be to provide Web Application servers to BI 4.1.
But there are still two aspects that worry me :
1/The lack of performance guides for BI4/NW :
* For example, I have found a Performance Guide for Tomcat giving some advices when using Java 7 ( parallel Garbage collector) SAP Netweaver Java AS do not support Java 7, so the recommendations could not apply.
* There are also several documents for Tomcat recommending to split the Web Application Servers, between static and dynamic content. We could not do that with Netweaver AS
Is it fair to assume that with Tomcat AS you have more leverage to improve performances that with NEtweaver AS ?
2/ The validation of the infrastructure :
As you know we can not install Netweaver AS, without installing first a Database.
We obviously do not want to deals wit htwo databases per landscape tier (one for BO CMS/Audit another for NEtweaver), so we were thinking of having one database with three schemas :
Something that look like this :
The problem is that we do not know if this database configuration is supported by SAP ?
Sap note 581312 - Oracle database: Licensing restrictions which explicitly prohibits third party tools (reporting for example)from creating database users/schema in the database.
I tried to open a sap customer call but they do not even understand the question, SAP Support Netweaver experts do not even know what is a BO Audit schema.
Most of the time Netweaver specialists do not understand BI4 questions and vice versa.
You might have some ideas on both those questions ?
