Capacity Planning for Workflow Manager

Some information is available regarding highly available Workflow Manager implementations but I cannot find any information regarding when or how you should perform capacity planning for the workflow manager.
A few questions are jumping out at me.
When would we want/need a dedicated Workflow Manager server? (I can understand if this was shared between multiple farms this may be a benefit but what about from a pure capacity perspective).
Are there any case studies or documentation that we can use as a baseline estimation for capacity for the workflow manager?
Generally speaking for a small/medium farm deployment is it expected that this service also run on the application server?

That would really depend on what kind of workflows are being run and the traffic being generated by the users. If you have long and complex workflows, you will need multiple nodes in the farm to handle.
Our tests with very simple workflows on a 16-core 16GB machine with SQL Server on a diff machine showed that it could handle 400 incoming messages per second and 65 workflow executed per second. Now if you have complex workflows, it may slow down further.
If you have one msg per user per second - it may mean 400 users handled per second. But I wouldn't make that conclusion - u must test your farms against your scale needs and accordingly plan your farm capacity
Hope this helps

Capacity Planning for Azure Managed Cache Service Spreadsheet Missing

I'm currently choosing between dedicated in-role caching and the azure managed cache service. It seems pretty clear that for in-role caching one must consider the cache access frequency when choosing the in-role cache size (as demonstrated by the capacity
planning spreadsheet found here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh914129.aspx although the documentation states "Your application
is the only consumer of the cache. There are no predefined quotas or throttling. Physical capacity (memory and other physical resources) is the only limiting factor.")
It is less clear if this is also the case for the azure managed cache service since the documentation simply states:
“Now, there are no predefined quotas on bandwidth and connections. Physical capacity is the only limiting
factor and you only pay based upon the cache size. You can now focus solely on your application and its data needs.”
and the capacity planning guide spreadsheet found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn386139.aspx
does not lead the actual spreadsheet.
Is there some way to get the capacity planning guide spreadsheet for the azure managed cache service? If not, can someone tell me whether we need to consider cache access frequency (and not just size) when choosing the azure managed cache service?
Thanks!

Just kidding, I found the planning spreadsheets here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30000
That said, I'm still unsure of whether the data read/write frequency (bandwidth) is relevant in choosing capacity:
In role:
"Your
application is the only consumer of the cache. There are no predefined quotas or throttling. Physical capacity (memory and other physical resources) is the only limiting factor."
Managed:
“Now,
there are no predefined quotas on bandwidth and connections. Physical capacity is the only limiting factor and you only pay based upon the cache size. You can now focus solely on your application and its data needs.”
I'm confused because when using the caching capacity planner spreadsheet,
when the number reads/second is increased, a greater cache size is recommended. But why would I need a larger cache size if the same object is being read by multiple users and there is not limit on bandwidth?

Dear ,
To answer the question for Capacity requirement planning on sales order I would say that MRP does only materials planning based on demand and reciept but never does Capacity Requirement Plannig .MRP generates Planned Order and susequently , production order can be genreted and farther you can carry out capacity requirement planning based on the work cente available capacity , requirement and load for those MTO orders .
But there are SAP business suit like APO-SNP APO PPDS which carriy our details scheduleing and caapcity check based on the demand situation : Sales Order ,Independent Order and does capcaity vaialbality chek for those demands while planning .
Now , here is the answer of your question :
1) Can Capacities are Scheduled as per priority given in SO automatically. : Not possible through SAP MRP but in APO-PPDS, APO-SNP-CTM , Herustic model .
2) Can revised availability dates will be reflected in SO. : It can be reflected as per the ATP chekc , Replishmenet Lead Time and re-scheduling horizon maintained in OPPQ-Carry all overall plant parametres.
3) Which reports will be useful for understanding consolidated availability date of material for given sales order/s. : You can check through MD04/MD05 or in sales order -Availaibility check -Schedule Line -Availaibility date .
Hope your are clear about the requirememt .

SQL Server 2014 support for Workflow Manager?

Is this configuration supported?
The prerequisite requirements for Workflow Manager are out of date and do not even list SQL 2012 R2 as a supported DB server.

Hi JB
We installed Workflow Manager 1.0 on a Dev SharePoint 2013 SP1 + April 2014 CU Farm running Against SQLServer 2014 which I suspect in not much different under the hood to your SQL2012R2.

Capacity planning for DB, pctfree pctuser

What is segment, pctfree, pctused ? want to clear my concepts...
Secondly how we can do capacity planning for Database growth?

The simplest and most accurate approach is
- Create the schema
- Load it with a representative amount of data (i.e. 1-2% of the expected data volume)
- Measure the amount of disk required
- Multiply by an appropriate factor to determine the eventual size
You can also do back of the envelope calculations, taking the average row size of your larger tables, multiplying by the expected number of rows, then adding an appropriate multiplier. Probably in the neighborhood of 2 to account for indexes, empty space in the table, etc., but this is very application specific.

Capacity Planning for External Procurement Material

Hi, I have the following requirements.
MRP Scheduling is getting executed material level (material no, plant) with scheduling type 2 which means lead time scheduling using MD02 Transaction Code. This is works fine for the Inhouse Product. In order to achieve lead time the functional team has maintained the necessary routing/workcenter configs.
The business needs the same functionality "Capacity requirements calculation" for the external procurement material. Business is willing to maintain routing/workcenter config.
Currently standard program (MD02) is not considering the Capacity planning for the external Procurement material.
Could you please suggest is it can be controlled through programming.
Kindly suggest the function modules for Capacity Planning - materialwise, plantwise.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Giri

Hi Giri
I think the requirement is not mentioned clearly. Capacity is required only if the material is assembled/produced in house.
Anyway try this. Set the Procurement type to X in the MRP views in material master. You might have to define your custom material type so that it does not force the procurement type to F. Try the feature called "Quota arrangement". The idea is to define the material in such a way that it can be procured externally or produced in house. With quota arrangement you can say what % has to be bought and what % to be produced in house. If it is produced in house then you can have capacity requirements.

Cumulative Update 2 for Workflow Manager 1.0 (KB 2902007) - installing the workflow client - nothing happens

I've updated the Service bus and workflow manager to CU2 but when I try and run the workflow manager client it starts but then just bombs out - begins to load then disappears and nothing happens
On Control Panel - the Service bus, workflow manager and WF client are all there - but click show updates - the CUs for Service bus and Workflow manager are there but not for WF client
So it's just not installing for some reason
Anyone know how I can get this to install?
Cheers
J

Hi,
For CU there are Prerequisites, please check the following requirements:
Software requirements:
PowerShell 3.0 must be installed on the computer to be updated. PowerShell 3.0 is included in the Windows Management Framework 3.0 installation. Go to Windows Management Framework 3.0 to install this update.
Workflow Manager Client 1.0 must be installed on the computer.
For computers that have Workflow Manager 1.0 installed, the following additional requirements apply:
The Service Bus for Windows Server cumulative update must be installed on the whole computer farm before you install the cumulative update for Workflow Manager 1.0
also Service Bus for Windows Server must be installed on the computer.
You must have administrative credentials on the computer where you are installing the software.

Can anybody give me the formula for Database capacity planning for 10gR2?

Hi ,
I want to learn how to make database capacity planning for production in 10gR2. Here i need any formula to plan the capacity.
Can anybody help me?
Regards
Rajesh

hi,
There is no perfect world. There is no perfect application. If I am permitted to say, there is no perfect CAPACITY PLANNING. In this world, we strive hard to achieve near PERFECTION
DISK SPACE ESTIMATED FOR THE DATABASE(RDBMS) ONLY
ESTIMATES ARE BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS, SAMPLING, STATISTICS
ESTIMATES CAN NOT QUANTIFY DISK SPACE REQUIREMENTS IN REAL TIME
ACTUALS ALWAYS VARY FROM ESTIMATES.
so ther is no particular formula to plan capacity planning.
or post your rquirements for the DB and wait for some reply

Bandwith Capacity Planning for 100 user SSL VPN Facility

What are things we should conisde while doing the bandwidth capacity planning for SSL VPN Facility for 100 users ?

Hi Surya,
This is not an easy question, since there are so many things to consider that I may miss some of them.
1- In case you are planning to use an ASA, check this to find the ideal throughput for you:
         Compare Models
2- What type of traffic? TCP or UDP?
     If TCP
          Make sure you avoid fragmentation, adjust the MSS value if necessary.
     If UDP
          If fragmentation must happen, then set the DF bit to clear to allow it.
3- Make sure the clients always negotiate DTLS (which is by default).
As mentioned in the document above:
"Maximum throughput measured under ideal test conditions.
VPN throughput and sessions count depend on the ASA device configuration and VPN traffic patterns. These elements should be taken into consideration as part of your capacity planning."
Thanks.
Portu.
Please rate any post you find useful.

How to go about capacity planning for storage ?

Hi Experts,
How to go about Capacity Planning? For instance if clients wants to upgrade to new server and new storage and asks us how much additional storage do you need for next 5 years, how can calculate the amount of storage.
I don't have any baseline info about the server of past years. Where can I start and any scripts you guys use for doing capacity planning?
Appreciate your help.
Thank you.
