Re: MII Pre-emptave issues monitoring

Morne,

I will go through your questions one by one:

1. Which of the Metrics in the Monitoring Services (or any of the other Metrics)  can one combine in your opinion    in order to understand if one can load extra projects on a single MII box.
   1. Monitoring Services are more for identifying slow and long running content in order to identify areas where additional tuning is required or where target/source systems may be straining to keep up and in turn have a large range between Min/Max run times.  It will also help you identify "peak" load times on the server.  If you would like to know what's available to "Scale" the box and applications then the primary metrics (Same as in Perf Analysis Summary Doc) are CPU, Available memory, and Disk I/O.  I include Disk I/O as this will indicate if you are paging and out of available memory that is allocated to the NetWeaver instance.  The main two for scale though are really CPU & Memory and NetWeaver will scale up and down based on available resources and it's configuration as shown here (This is 7.11 docs but i think there is a 7.31 section; ask the NetWeaver team for help here): http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce71/helpdata/en/43/73949862c16fcbe10000000a1553f6/content.htm
   2. Looking at Performance Analysis Summary (PDF) on page 19-22, what can one report on to indicate which of these paramaters would require adjustments ? Or what these optimimum settings would be as suggestions without a trial and error process. So if one has some reporting options and based on the metrics that one has monitored and reported on what can one then recommend as settings that needs to be adjusted.
      1. These are intended to help you locate "where" the settings are that can affect performance of the Security and Application Engines inside of NetWeaver.  It's up to you and the hardware you have (this is just a benchmark) to determine what the values can be in order to allow the instance to scale without crashing the box completely.  We are planning to release an official sizing guide for MII 14.0 later this year that will also help you to identify the number of SAPS required to perform various operations.

I hope this insight helps.
