Capacity planning for a Workflow Manager Farm

I'm planning a WFM farm deployment for my SharePoint farm. I'm having difficulty estimating the DB instance storage. Microsoft does not really have any recommendations for storage and I'm not sure what database disk space I allocate to it should be. I don't
even have a clue on what would be a good starting point.
I will be installing the WFM on three servers running Windows Server 2012, running on a separate DB instance.
Any suggestions and explanations would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
There is no specific requirements for WFM. You can start with the minimum diskspace and later you can add based on the usability of WFM farm.

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

What permission does the Service account requires on AD for the Workflow manager 1.0 to be configured in SharePoint Farm?

What permission does the Service account requires on AD for the Workflow manager 1.0 to be configured in SharePoint Farm?
The workflow manager configuration wizard crashes with the below error when used a domain account (setup account with full prvilige on sql and server). It requires some specific permissions on AD ? I couldnt see any documentation stating what permission
it requires.
Can anyone help ?

How can I update Workflow Manager Farm OutboundCertificate?

So I followed the steps written on
http://www.harbar.net/articles/wfm3.aspx to update invalid certificates on a Workflow Manager Farm, everything went as Mr. Harbar's post said it would, but then I noticed that the Workflow Farm provides options for changing only the
SslCertificate and the EncryptionCertificate and not the
OutboundCertificate, ultimately leaving it unchanged.
My challenges are:
Find a way to update the OutboundCertificate on the Workflow Farm without having to delete all databases (which by the way seems the only option left) or
Understand why the OutboundCertificate is not meant to be changed (or in which case expect it'll never expire) or
Get to know the best practice for this type of configuration.
Thank you in advance.
Emilio.
PS: Service Bus Farm certificates, 2 in total, updated flawlessly.

as mentioned in the article:
"Watch out for the Outbound Signing certificate, as we cannot
change from an auto-generated Outbound Signing certificate to a CA issued Outbound Signing Certificate.
This is a significant constraint of Workflow Manager configuration, even though we can update the certificate, workflows will get “stuck” in their initial stage after doing so, as the Workflow Manager farm thinks it’s an auto-generated certificate! If your
organisational policy dictates that only CA issued certificates should be used, then you must initially create the Workflow Manager farm with the correct certificates, as detailed in part four."
it's simply a scenario that wasn't originally tested, and hence the constraint, it would be useful to understand why you have a
requirement to change the ob signing cert - as such evidence is valuable in pushing for fixes in future updates - which in this case would be exposing the configuration to customers via PowerShell
there's no best practice here, because cert requirements vary wildly

Constraint capacity planning for Un-Routed items in ASCP

Hi All,

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 .

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.

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
regards,
Deepak

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.

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?

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.
Sam

Capacity planning for a 2 million hits / day site

Hi,
I am doing a feasibility study for a 2 million hits per day
e-commerce site.
We are looking at various vendors but would prefer an
Oracle solution.
One option I am looking
at is a three-tier server architecture with instances of
Oracle Application server running on one set
of machines and instances of Oracle 8/8i running on a second
set of machines.
Macromedia generated HTML would be auto-translated to PL/SQL
cartridges to generate the relevant WRBXs.
Has anyone any experience of the performance issues /
robustness of this type of large-scale
development.
In particular, I am looking for some hard numbers / capacity
planning model on:
Number of instances of Application Server;
Number / type of Application Server boxes - SpecInt / Flt and
memory;
Number of instances of RDBMS / parallel Oracle;
Number / type of RDBMS boxes - SpecInt / Flt and memory; and
External communications bandwidth.
Any advice, personal anecdotes, recommended sites, or
literature references much appreciated.
Regards,
Ajit Jaokar

Hi,
1. Do cross forest authentication Go through Global Catalog?
Yes, cross-forest authentication relies on Global Catalogs of both forests.
2. Do Global catalogue cache ad object info if they are in different Forest. If not, how does the authentication request flow across the forest?
GC doesn’t cache information for objects from another forest. However, once a user has been authenticated and authorized, its service ticket remains (on the local machine) for a while before it logs off. The authentication request
is first received by the local DC, then GC, when GC couldn’t find a match in its own forest, it checks its database for trust information, if there is a name suffix matched, the authentication request is passed to the corresponding forest.
3. Is this calculation still the same when considering cross forest trusts?
Yes, establishing forest trust doesn’t consume much more space, because GC doesn’t store information of another forest.
4. Do we need to consider any other memory requirements in a cross forest trust environment?
Not really, as I mentioned above.

Capacity Plan for Partially Confirmed Order

Hi Guys
Can any one please guide me on Capacity Planning (CM29) how to:
1. Plan to plan a partial order. Or in other terms: how to plan a part order in wk1 and rest in wk2
2. If the process order is partially confirmed, then how should supervisor re-schedule it again for later date!
3. Ideally what should be followed:
a. Schedule the Planned Order on CM29 and then Convert them to Process Order , OR
b. Convert the Planned Order and then Schedule the Process Order on the CM29 screen
Thanks in advance
-Rahul

Hi Mehdi,
Once order status is PCNF you cannot create lot with inspection type as 03. You need to reverse all the confirmations/Goods issue and activate 03 inspection type in material master, maintain MIC related data in routing and do Read Master data. Then system will create inspection lot.
For 03 inspection type manually inspection lot cannot be created. Once order is released inspection lot will be automatically created by system.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramagiri
