ABAP Trial performance really SLOW compared with IDES 4.7 (really fast)

[Former Member]

Hi all

just a quick question

I'm running on an XP Virtual machine the full IDES V4.7 and performance is really GOOD. Transactions etc etc.

Now on an identically configfured Virtual machine with similar disks etc the APAP trial Preview runs FAR WORSE and slower. OK I know it's a newer release but there's no transactional stuff in it. The IDES uses around 45 - 60 GB disk soace BTW

The only difference I can see that might make a huge difference is the IDES uses the ORACLE DB system wheras the ABAP preview uses MAXDB DB system.

Incidentally for running VM's ALWAYS allocate the FULL virtual disk size you want when creating the VM. If you let the disks "grow" as in a normal VM this has horrendous implications for database type of applications.

Both VM's are running as 2GB RAM XP systems on a Host Windows 7 X-64 4GB machine.

Any Guru out there who might be able to explain the great IDES performance compared with the ABAP trial preview.

(Both VM's are run individually -- not at the same time).

Cheers

New Abap trial versions MUCH MUCH better

Hi James,

I have the exact setup as you do (701 V3). Have you run SGEN? I also find that my performance is quite slow at first (presumable while the disk is allocating to memory) but it then speeds up quite quickly. Also, might help if you upgrade your ram if your planning on running both VM's at once. I'm currently allocating 3GB to my VM.

Transactions ST02 & ST06 may help you to trouble shoot your performance issues. Use RZ10 to alter your system parameters (assume you know this already).
