BI quicksizing for BPS

Question

I'm new to BI. I've been requested to do a quicksizer for BPS golive.
In the "Throughput - User Groups Business Plan" it asks for the number of Concurrent Users, # of planning steps per user, # of records per planning step etc... Is there anywhere in particular that I can look inside my SAP System to locate that information: Config, tables, job logs?
I've read the documentation for quicksizing but it doesn't guide you into where to find that information within SAP.
Regards,
Peggy

Answer 1

Hi,
Here are my answers:
Q: Is there any difference in the way we handle variables in IP Vs BPS
My answer: Yes. In IP, variables that are used in queries are the same variables that are used in IP. In contrast, BPS has its own set of variables.
Q: Can we use same Function modules and same FOX for planning functions in BPS and IP and vice versa
My answer: Yes and no. This depends on the specific function module you are using. IP has different architecture than BPS.
Q: Can we have drill down capability in IP queries and if so what are the dis advantages
My answer: Yes, you can. Allowing usersto drill-down only means that you will allow users to input data in a lower level. You will need to make sure that the drill-down characteristic is consistent with your disaggregation strategy.
Q: How do we place breakpoints in planning modeler
My answer: It depends. What action do you want your break-point to act on to? You can place external break-points in your ABAP code (e.g. in planning functions) and processing will stop once it reaches that point. You can also put a session break-point and execute your planning sequence in RSPLS_EXECUTE.
Q: Can we use mulitprovider for input quereis in IP , if so what is the diff between using multi pros
My answer: Yes, if your multi-provider contains a planning cube.
Hope this helps you,
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi.
