What Is SAP Application AS?

SAP application auto scaling (AS) automatically increases or decreases the number of Additional Application Servers (AASs) as needed depending on your SAP service requirements. You can specify AS configurations and policies based on service requirements. AS configurations and policies eliminate the need to repeatedly adjust resources in response to service changes and demand spikes, helping you reduce your manpower and resource requirements.

For details, see the SAP Application Auto Scaling User Guide.
