5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource for understanding performance issues in R/3, April 2, 2000

By A Customer

I found this book to be well-written, well-organized, and full of useful ideas and explanations on how to recognize performance problems in R/3. The book does not address OS-specific or DB-specific performance problems in detail, but does discuss expensive SQL statements and OS memory issues. There is some discussion of the uniqueness of R/3 memory management on NT. What you will find is a thorough discussion on R/3 memory management, work process distribution, SQL statements, enqueues, table buffering, and much more.

Initially, I was disappointed that there was not a thorough discussion on platform-specific performance issues, but after seeing how well the R/3 aspects are covered, I recommend this book to any R/3 Basis administrator faced with the task of tuning a production system.

The fact that the author is part of SAP's TCC group is obvious. I consider this an advanced text, but written simply enough for even a beginning R/3 adminsitrator to comprehend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the SAP Class on Performance tuning!, March 13, 2001

By A Customer

After taking the SAP class Workload Analysis on performance tuning and being thoroughly baffled and confused, I bought a copy of this book. Much clearer and comprehensive than SAP's technical training I like the sections on memory and sql tuning for R/3. If you're a serious Basis admin or consultant you absolutely must get a copy of this book and learn it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know about SAP Performance, January 19, 2001

By	Dave Ferrise (Redwood City, CA USA) - See all my reviews

As a product manager that writes product specifications for SAP performance monitoring utilities I have found this book to be invaluable. As you may suspect I have a veritible library of SAP performance, capacity and administration books but I refer to this one 95% of the time. Undoubtedly the best guide ever written on SAP Performance.
