Dear SAP Colleagues, Partners, and Customers:
I posted an instructional video to SAP’s YouTube channel. My video explains how to split the AdaptiveProcessingServer (APS) to improve scalability and performance of SAP BI Platform 4.0—especially if you’re reporting on data in BW or HANA:

Tasks demonstrated in the video:
1. Intelligently splitting the APS into 7 instances
2. Setting an appropriate Java heap setting for each APS instance
The target audience is BI 4.0 administrators and consultants. Please feel free to share this email to help promote important tuning practices throughout our BI ecosystem.
