How the free WPID is allocated ?

84 Views

Hi,

We have configures for the enhanced number range buffering. As per this the NRIV_LOKAL file manage the buffered number for each of the appserver+WPID (called instances). Based on this we can see we cannot acheive chronology, since the WPID allocated when the user invokes the transaction can vary leading to number allocated from various lot. While this is expected behaviour by theory.

However when we were in ECC5 we did not see much difference in chronology to numbers allocated. With in the day, all the numbers from buffer were getting used. Now after upgrading to ECC6 we see one buffered range is getting not used for almost more than 15 days. Possibly because the WPID is free and did not pick up the user performing the transaction.

Question? Is there a change in SAP's logic (possibly dispatcher or Kernel) of allocating the WPID for a user between ECC5 and ECC6.

I am suspecting in the past when a user login, he was allocated the same WPID as long as it was free for every transaction he called..something like that.

If you need more technical details on the issue I can provide. This is just a brief to make this message short.

Thanks
