Hi Carlos,

Yes, if you've looked at other messages in this thread I'm sure you've seen there has been a fair amount of useful, detailed discussion on this issue.

The VAR seems credible in what he's saying, basically that SAP's hardware recommendations for SBO are way too low, for both server and workstations. He has provided references of other clients with similar problems, which were apparently fixed by boosting hardware, so we'll be following up on those.

Thanks again.
