• In the table above, a user represents a connected Business Information Server
Graphical Interface, an inbound connection from another Business Information
Server, or an active background run session.
• The suggested memory configuration may not be adequate for some installations
because memory requirements vary dramatically depending on the software
environment you are running on a Microsoft Windows platform.
• The amount of mass storage required depends more on the size of the database
than on the number of users. The amount of shared memory required depends on
the size and number of database files and other site configuration values.
