Definiton It is beneficial to keep as much data buffered as possible. This helps avoid repetitive database accesses, for example from the network and Interprocess Communication (IPC), and maximize system performance.
Reduced performance is caused by
- Buffers set too small.
- Buffers set too large
The optimum size for each buffer depends largely on the specific configuration of the server, that is, the applications, the number of users working in each module, and so on. Therefore, it is difficult to specify values suitable for all configurations. The most important criterion for the correct buffer size is the buffer quality.
You should not adjust buffers in cases where poor buffer quality is due to special circumstances, for example, object swaps in the program buffer in a system with a high level of development activity.
As a guideline, the most important buffers are those that:
- Are responsible for good dialog performance
- Are used most frequently
- Require relatively few memory resources
- Repository buffers (nametab buffers)
- Table buffers
- Program buffers
- Roll and page file buffers
- SAPgui buffers
