AIX v Windows Sizing Guide?

XI31 SP3
There's a windows sizing guide (3.0) however, not one for an AIX implementation. Can anyone please offer any thoughts/feedback on an AIX installation as to performance considerations.
Assuming BI System (XI31 SP3), 100 concurrent users, highest concentration on webi reports and dashboards.
Thanks in advance!

Hey Mark,
I found the following url on a wiki page: [https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000738725&]
The wiki may prove useful if you will be migrating to BI4.0. The url to the wiki is.. [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/AllyouneedtoknowbeforeupgradingtoBI4.0]
good luck!

SAP Printer migration from AIX to windows

Dear Experts,
We migrated our ECC from AIX to Windows.
We want to migrate printers from AIX to windows.
Do we have to create queues from scratch in SPAD?
Can we use existing queues in SPAD?
Please guide what all steps are required.
Your help will be highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Harry

Hi Hary,
For windows environment you need to change the spool server hostname in SPAD and activate all the relevant printers.
Please check whether you had any network printers configured on AIX host. You can use command
smitty spooler or
lpstat -W -p<queuename>
If there are any spoolers configured for SAP system, you need to recreate them on windows.
Hope this helps.

BSI TaxFactory 8.0 server sizing guide?

My company is installing BSI TaxFactory 8.0 for the first time on an AIX / Oracle platform.
Is there a server sizing guide for how CPU and memory usage I need to plan for when payroll is running? I realize it will vary based on number of employees.
The only thing I can find on SAP Service Marketplace and BSI's web site is how much database space it requires (approx 2 gig).
I've read all the notes; including 1064089 - Installing TaxFactory 8.0, but not as an upgrade.
Our Basis Team Lead doesn't want it installed on the SAP Oracle db server.
Thanks in advance,
Mark Perrey

Mark :
If you're talking about BSI executable (i.e. tf80server.ksh for AIX / UNIX environment), this should be on the drive accessible by all SAP applications/db servers so it could be executed indepently of which server user is loggin on (due to load balance).
If you're talking about BSI database, I don't see any issues with having this on the same SAP ORACLE dbase server (whether same instance or not). BSI dbase is relatively small (around 70 tables), and I would imagine database resource is probably minimum as most of the tax calucations are probaly done at the BSI application level.

Unix window sizing

Hi,
I ran into the window sizing on the Unix box.
When I ran my application on window environment, all
the windows appeared OK. However, when I ran my
application on the Unix box, the windows shrunk
dramatically. Sometimes, I could even see the words
on the window.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks
Anthony

Hello Anthony,
we use AIX 4.3.x on IBM and see the same problems on Motif 2.1.
1. Forte supports up to 3.0.N only Motif 1.2 on Unix-Platforms. At 3.0.N some
UNIX-OS's are supported with Motif 2.1.
2. The size of text depends on what font you has installed at UNIX Platform.
You are able to change the default Fonts at X11 and the available sizes of
fonts. X11 use at standard less fonts and font-sizes and maybe only 16
colors.
Because more colors and fonts increase the memory usage of X11.
3. All widgets, which are designed for WINDOWS are converted at X11/Motif.
(e.g. List-View, Tree-View)
4. The functionality of 'size to parent' and other behaviours of
grid-fields differ
at X11/Motif.
Solution: 1. You design the look and feel of the graphic client at UNIX-side.
2. You don't use WINDOW-specific widgets.
3. You migrate to Motif 1.2 at UNIX-side if your platform is
not supported
with Motif 1.2 (some other failures may also occur at
2.1 which may occur
a stack-backtrace error).
4. Set FORTE_STACK_SIZE at UNIX >= 100.000
5. See technotes at cyber-support for specific problems at Motif
Summary:
You will see, the graphical support at Motif (also keyboard specific
behaviours) must
be adjusted at X11/Motif before a synonym usage like WINDOWS is available.
You will see that Forte does not prefer Motif as favourite graphical client.
Don't be worry, you are able to adjust a lot of things in X11/Motif to have
a look
and feel like WINDOWS. LINUX has a graphical interface (fvwm) which simulates
the same behaviours of graphical interfaces like WINDOWS. This is only done
by adjustement of X11-parameters and ini-files.
Hpe this helps

Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

Copy the .zip file to a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD in OS X. Install Windows as normal, insert the flash drive/DVD in Windows, copy the .zip file to the hard drive, extract it, then run the setup executable.

Work Manager 6.1 Sizing Guide Query

Hi,
Looking at the official Work Manager 6.1 sizing guide and comparing it to the Work Manager 6.0 guide and it seems there has been a large jump in the suggested hardware for SMP.
I understand the WM6.0 runs on SMP 2.3 and WM6.1 is on SMP 3.0, but I'm surprised that the difference seems so large.
E.g. For a medium landscape with 1000 syncs/hour:
Work Manager / SMP
SMP SAPS (suggested)
Work Manager 6.0
2,000
Work Manager 6.1
55,500
Could someone clarify why this would be?
Thanks,
Stephen

The Sizing Document has been updated for the SMP Server and appear to be much more reasonable.
The SAP ABAP & DB Server recommondations are still the same and don't seem right.
E.g
Large Data Volume & 2000 syncs/hr
SAP DB Server - 393,500 SAPS
SAP ABAP Server - 127,500 SAPS
From the Sizing benchmarks an IBM Server with 271,080 SAPS has 8 Processors / 120 Cores / 1TB of RAM
Cheers,
Stephen

DMS Migration from AIX to windows

Dear All,
We are in process of migrating of SAP landscape from AIX to windows.
We have idea of migrating ECC and BI from AIX to windows. But we are confuse, how to migrate SAP DMS from AIX to windows.
Need you suggestion how to proceed futhure for moving DMS from AIX to windows.
Thanks
Anil

Hi,
1) Does oracle support this kind of migration?Yes.
2) Is this achievable, without involving any functional consultants? You do not need any functional consultants for this migration.
3) Can anyone help with some metalink notes or document on this migration?Please see these documents.
Note: 369693.1 - Using Oracle Applications with a Split Configuration Database Tier on Oracle 10g Release 2
Note: 304489.1 - Using Oracle Applications with a Split Configuration Database Tier on Oracle 9i Release 2
4) Is it a good idea to move from AIX to windows?Windows? Hmmm :)

Window sizing not saved?

I resize a sheet in Number v3 and save it bit the careful sizing I set is not saved and a small default window size opens when I re-open the file. How can I save my window sizing as per Number 09?
Thanks
Gary

Hi,
I think window auto-tuning is enabled.
You can disable it by running the following commend.
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
Hope this helps.

Differences between AIX and Windows for SAP

Dear All,
I have a problem regarding SAP Software.We want to change our company software .First we order SAP On Windows with Oracle10g But Now We want SAP on AIX with Oracle10g.
SAP delivered us software on Windows platform.
Please Suggest me for this as what are the differences between the above two platforms and what are the differences between the above 2 platforms.
Regards,
Pankaj Kalsayan

hi Pankaj,
well, this is a very general question. perhaps you could specify a little more.
in general i would see no difference regarding the end user sitting in front of his pc using sapgui.
as far as i know all server side sap software is available for aix and windows (and many more).
for administration on the other hand there is of course lots of difference. AIX is a UNIX operating system running on special hardware with power processors. it offers quit extensive virtualisation abilities using so called LPARs and supports real big number of CPUs and large RAM. Windows is a completly differnet operating system running mostly on x86/amd64 hardware.
therefore you should also consider what know-how is available in your system administration.
not shure if that is partly answering your question ...
btw. if you are going forward with AIX you should perhaps consider switching oracle with db2. so you have a consistent IBM based landscape. also to me, sap and db2 seem to "like" each other more than sap and oracle
regards,
martin

Wrap Up Window Sizing

In UCCX 10, is it possible to modify the Wrap Up Window size. I have a customer with quite a few wrap up codes, they would like to have the window sized accordingly so all wrap up codes are visible within the window.
Thanks

Thanks David, Im wondering if this is possible within Finesse, seeing that this is this way Cisco is moving towards.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - Remote FTPrepository Sizing Guide

Can anyone provide a link to a sizing guide for remote FTP repository for backing up Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 to a remote FTP server?

A personal observation; In PI 1.1, with the small ova we were running around 300 AP's and I had noticable slowness and issues. At that time, TAC mentioned that I should go with the medium as it was a known problem Now, despite being on 1.2 and alot of the issues resolved (and now new ones), if faced with the need to start over and I could spare the hardware, I would still go with the medium. My personal opinion is that Cisco VM's require way to much. On the other hand, knowing that it's relying on a built in Oracle DB, which from my experience with virtual servers, databases in VM = bad, it's understandable. Not everyone agrees with this point from vm gurus to db geniuses, and I'm not a professional vm guy, just play one on tv, but personally i shove as much hardware as I can afford from my host at it if it's a db in a vm. This comes from being in an enterprise with multiple oracle db's in multiple vm environments. My 2cents.

I can´t use Windows Media Guide in Windows Media Player 12

Good morning for all of you.
I would like to know why when I start Windows Media Player 12 I dont have access to Windows Media Guide, I used in other PCs for listening to some internet radio stations.
I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-B running Windows 8.1 and when I try to add it they are asking me for a Windows License, I wrote the one is included but it didnt accept it.
Can you help me?
Thanks..

Hi Jerry.
Please check in the picture attached that Windows asks for another license key.
I only have the one that came with the notebook and tried it and didn´t work.
I will wait for your comments.

XI Sizing Guide scenarios

Hi,
I need to baseline our hardware using the scenarios described in the XI Sizing Guide before testing the performance of our own integration scenarios.
Would you know where are available the design packages of the integrations used for the XI Sizing Guide?
Thanks for your help,
Adalbert

Thanks Prabhu,
Indeed this can be another approach.
Mine was to baseline our dev box with a scenario referenced in the XI Sizing Guide, and then measure the performance with our own scenario and deduce the required number of SAPS for our scenarios to obtain a given range of results.
I believe the use of the XI Quick Sizer is better as it can handle complex scenarios.
I would have 2 questions concerning The Quick Sizer:
-     how to indicate the <b>Lookups (using the XI Lookup API) overhead</b> we implemented in the mappings
-     how to indicate a <b>self developed JCA adapter</b> in the adapter fields (outbound or inbound): XI J2EE or Thirdparty? what is the impact?
-     What means Acknowledgments: additional Acknowledgment fields? in addition to standard iDoc ack?
Thanks for your help
Adalbert

Business Objects XI Release 3.0/3.1 Enterprise Sizing Guide

Is there a Business Objects XI Release 3.0/3.1 Enterprise Sizing Guide available yet...?
We are trying to plan our hardware budget for next year.
I have reviewed both the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 Deployment Planning Guide, and the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 Deployment Planning Guide - but neither one gives you the actual counts of concurrent and simultaneous connections supported per CPU/Service in 3.0/3.1.
Edited by: Mark Richardson on Sep 16, 2008 4:49 PM

Hello,
In the deployement document for XI 3.O : "xi3_bip_deploy_plan_en.pdf",
Page 81, one reads : "It is also recommended that you contact your Business Objects sales
representative and request information about the BusinessObjects Enterprise
Sizing Guide. A Business Objects Services consultant can assess your
reporting environment and assist in determining the configuration to best
integrate with your current environment."
Therefore, such a document should exist.
Any news since the last post?
Thx in advance
