Hello,

We wonder if anyone can help us.

  1. In general, how many concurrent users is feasible to support a single Unix machine with 3 CPUs, 2 GB RAM, 100 GB HD, Oracle 7.3.X and Forms4.5 character mode running an invoicing application?
  2. What would be a typical number of concurrent users that will make feasible to go for a classic 3-tier model using a TP Monitor? ( for the scenario described in the previous question)
  3. Does anybody can help us to contact or describe the system configuration of some companies with the following profile.
    • Retail bussiness.
    • Oracle database version 7.X.X
    • More than 400 (four hundrend) concurrent users running forms 4.5.x in Unix character mode invoicing applications What we want to know is 3a) Do they Use a TP Monitor ? 3b) What is the system configuration (OS, CPUs, RAM, Disks, etc )

If you need further details please contact us by e-mail necon_at_unixfor.ath.forthnet.gr
