Dear Everyone,
I currently have BizTalk Std 2006 installed on a DUO CPU.

However, when I did some test, it turned out that BizTalk only uses 1 CPU,
not 2.

Not sure if you have and idea of where I can identify the problem?

Thanks.

Sincerely,

BizTalk is licensed per CPU and not per machine. Standard editions do
not support more than one CPU, so there isn't anything you can do,
except upgrading to Enterprise Edition.

Hello Green,

BizTalk Std 2006 supports up to two CPUs. I wonder however how you found
out that BizTalk is not using the second CPU?
How did you test this?

Regards,

Randal van Splunteren

Dear Randal,
I do understand that BizTalk Std does support 2 CPUs as well.

Actually, the IT guys did the testing and they mentioned something about
testing the speed of CPU Utilization.

E.g.
On a DUO core with STD installed, the (Add 20 docs (4) = 156,604.75)
On another DUO core with ENT installed, the (Add 20 docs (4) = 84,495.25)

The difference between the 2 is 46.05% improvement for the ENT version. I am
rather confident that Microsoft doen't have the STD vs. ENT version because
of the speed. Thus in this case, properly the STD version is running on 1 CP
U
only.

Not sure if this is the right answer that you want?

Sincerely,

Hello Green,

Did you repeat this tests a couple of times? Maybe there where some other
things going on when the test was executing.
To my opinion there should not be such a big difference between the to confi
gurations.

HTH,

My appologies - I was wrong. Don't know where I got that idea...

Dear Randal,
I believe that they sure did made a few tests.

But event if there are other stuffs running, the performance shouldn't be a
difference of 46% right?
