The SAP Application Performance Standard (SAPS) is a hardware-independent unit that describes the performance of a system configuration in the SAP environment. It is derived from the Sales and Distribution (SD) Benchmark, where 100 SAPS is defined as 2,000 fully business processed order line items per hour. In technical terms, this throughput is achieved by processing 6,000 dialog steps (screen changes), 2,000 postings per hour in the SD Benchmark, or 2,400 SAP transactions. In the SD Benchmark, fully business processed means the full business process of an order line item: creating the order, creating a delivery note for the order, displaying the order, changing the delivery, posting a goods issue, listing orders, and creating an invoice.

Many SAP applications are integrated from a business and date perspective but not from a workloads point of view They are managed as separate servers/LPARs Results in low degree of synergy
POWER processor-based systems and manageability features will allow for workload combination while still keeping applications distinct Improved system efficiency Less TCO Less energy

POWER6 can compute in decimal system

The POWER6 processor contains a Decimal Floating-Point Unit which The POWER6 processor contains a Decimal Floating-Point Unit which enables calculations using the human decimal system. enables calculations using the human decimal system.
Advantages: Performance and accuracy while easier coding for ISVs like SAP and customers
Example:
Add 5% to an amount of 0,70:
- 1.05 x 0.70 using the conventional data type binary double exactly results in: 0.73499999999999998667732370449812151491641998291015625 - rounding to two currency digits results in 0,73 - Using a decimal calculation will result in 0,74
To compensate for rounding inaccuracy in binary computing requires much programming efforts and lots of cycles during runtime!

Any SAP relevant issues are detected in the AIX labs for prior release Performance optimizations for SAP apps can be implemented for new AIX releases
SAP specific settings for environment variable are now implecitely in AIX
E.g., minperm% 3, maxperm% 90, maxclient% 90 etc.
New tools for more efficient problem analysis and SAP runtime behaviour have been distributed

SAP-on-i customers confirm the advantages

Guifeng Yang, IT manager at Wuxi Weifu Automotive, P.R.of China, The SAP applications run on an IBM System i5 520, using IBM DB2. ... The DB2 database is included as part of the i5/OS operating system, offering a highly cost-effective, integrated solution for a mid-size company such as Wuxi Weifu. Mike Neighbors, Vice President of IT, Coca-Cola Bottling Company United, USA: SAP was the natural choice, and there was no question of deploying it on anything other than IBM iSeries it offers probably the lowest total cost of ownership of any enterprise-class system. You also achieve cost savings because iSeries is more easily manageable with a small IT team. Thomas Danner, Director of EDP, INTERSPORT Deutschland eG The integrated DB2 database within IBM System i provides outstanding performance and flexibility to run SAP NetWeaver BI for our corporation. The virtualization technology of POWER5 combined with the integrated High Availability option of i5/OS is the best platform to run our SAP NetWeaver landscape with optimal TCO. Alan Novick, Director of Information Systems, Pressman Toys Corp. USA Pressman runs SAP on IBM iSeries, with DB2 Information Management Software as its database The system was quickly installed and configured, and IBM now delivers reliable support. The ease of management offered by iSeries and DB2 means that we have no need for a full-time database administrator, which keeps our IT costs low. Jrgen Dauner, IT Team Leader, Multivac GmbH & Co. KG DB2 for i5/OS requires no dedicated database administrator. Just two people can handle the entire administration of our SAP applications, including the i5/OS and DB2 landscape for our 1,000 SAP users.
