Question 1 (Demotest)
During a system performance analysis, we have encountered a slow running system. The
Workload Analysis Monitor shows the results. Based upon the information in the indicated areas,
which of the following is the correct conclusion?

Answer 1:
The performance problem is a specific problem only influencing certain transactions and
originating from one specific transaction.

Subject: R/3 Disk and Device Setup

Question 1 (Demotest)
If the R/3 Installation Checklist recommends that 5 or more physical disks be used for an
installation, but that a minimum of 3 disks is OK as long as the total disk space is at least 12 GB,

A database recovery is faster and easier when fewer physical disk devices are used.

There is no advantage in initially having more than the minimum number of physical disks for a
production system because the R/3 database can be extended later.

Question 1 (Demotest)
If the R/3 Installation Checklist recommends that 5 or more physical disks be used for an
installation, but that a minimum of 3 disks is OK, as long as the total disk space is at least 12
