SAP or not?
A little piece about the computer glitch that happened during the stock market crash the other day is below. It appears the system that the stock market runs on experienced delays. Could they be running SAP? It's a possibility.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- As the Dow Jones industrial average suffered its biggest one-day point loss in 5-1/2 years Tuesday afternoon, traders were blind to the severity of the fall due to technical problems.
Dow Jones (Charts) said that for about an hour it experienced difficulty with its system for reporting the industrial average's activity.
"Around 2:00 pm today the market's extraordinarily heavy trading volume caused a delay in the Dow Jones data systems and as a result, the calculation of the Dow Jones Industrial Average temporarily lagged behind the market decline and as we identified the problem we decided to switch over to a back-up system and the result was a rapid catch-up in the published value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average," explained a Dow Jones spokeswoman.

Haha, I don't know? Possibly? Hey, what's the response time on you're guys R3 systems in prod? I think ours is around .8 sec average.
It's around that same thing.
Our average response time has been a little less than that. Although I just looked at last month's and it was .96 sec. We have been experiencing performance problems though and we had a large project TMS that was hitting the system pretty hard as they prepared for go-live.
If we ever implement that TMS stuff like we've been talking I'll probably have to hit you up for some help.
That's cool. We on the Basis team actually didn't have to do a whole lot, but I have contacts on the functional team who probably have documentation. Let me know if you need any help.
