Centralized management
Automatic capacity management (ACM)
ACM Scaling

ACM can scale ACM-managed SAP systems to adapt to changing workload Scaling is directed by rules (configurable via ACM settings) and dialog response time Currently, two methods are available: - Too few application servers running ACM generates a proposal to start additional application servers - Too many application servers running ACM generates a proposal to stop application servers and relinquish resources
ACM Operation Modes

Approval-based

(administrator approves the proposal) Automatic (scaling happens automatically)
