This document discusses how SAP systems often do not utilize their full hardware capacity during batch processing. It notes that ABAP code typically runs in a single process, limiting hardware usage to around 45% capacity. This results in batch jobs taking a long time to run. The document promotes Basis Technologies' Batch Accelerator, which breaks long-running ABAP programs into smaller chunks that can run concurrently in different processes. This allows jobs to finish sooner by making better use of available hardware capacity. It argues this is a better approach than adding more hardware or moving processes to the cloud without first optimizing existing resource usage.
