Summary :
This SAP Note provides guidance on setting resource controls for SAP applications running on Oracle Solaris 10 and above, advocating the use of resource controls over /etc/system settings for their flexibility and specificity. Enhanced control is facilitated by configuring resources per project or user, which can be adjusted without server reboots. Specific instructions include how to create and configure projects using the 'projadd' command, set parameters for maximum file descriptors, semaphores, and shared memory limits. Recommendations cover proper settings in /etc/project and /etc/user_attr files to ensure efficient resource management and system stability. It emphasizes the transition from old methods (SAP note 395438), like setting rlim_fd_cur in /etc/system, to newer, more dynamic configurations, and provides specific guidelines for both Solaris 10 and 11, including adjustments for multiple SAP instances. Links to Oracle documentation and related SAP notes are included for further details on resource management and system tuning.
