How to run sgen in ecc 6.0 ehp4 ides

Question

Dear Experts
What is the procedure to run sgen in ecc 6.0 ehp4 ides system to speed up the transaction response. Approximately how much time it takes to complete with 2GB RAM and AMD 64bit processor.
Thanks

Hi Raj,
You need to run SGEN on the main Server and refresh the memory buffers
on the application servers if its required but I assume this is
automatically performed anyway so as the program buffers, PXA,
are all in sync.
========================================================================
From the tcode itself here is the info. on Parallel Generation
2.  Select Server for Parallel Generation.
The generation is based on a parallelized method, where the generation
set is divided into small subsets that are processed by parallel process
Depending on resources, available servers are included in the parallel
processing, whereby multiple parallel processes run on one server.
From the Selection of Server for Parallel Generation screen, you can
select the servers that are to be used in the parallel processing.
Note that loads depend on the machine type (MT) of a host.
This means that it only makes sense to parallel process the
generation set of servers of the same machine type.
The default selection orientates itself by the server to which it
is logged on. It corresponds to your logon server and all servers
on your system that have the same machine type. If you want to use
the default selection, choose Continue.
If you want to exclude individual servers from the generation, or
if you want to generate the load for a particular machine type
that is different to that of the logon server, then use the
pushbutton to select the corresponding servers and choose Continue.
Note: The parallel servers are depicted via the logon groups in
transaction RZ12. For transaction SGEN, logon group 'parallel_generators
is created. Do not use this group for your own purposes, as transaction
SGEN uses and continually redefines this group.
From the selection of the servers, the system starts to automatically
define the generation set, and to store it on the database
(DB table GENSETC).
This may take several minutes.

Thank You.
