Thank,Seang

If you need a rough idea of it. Why you dont keep it simple and compare the DB size or space available before and after? There are also some scripts/queries you can google.

SAP Content Server sizing for DMS

Hi
Can anyone advise on the most appropriate way to 'size' for a new Content Server. Documents have been stored in the SAP DB till now, but the use is increasing, so now a new Content Server is to be added and all existing documents migrated into it. I have seen references in the past to SAP methodology for sizing the content server, but now cant find any.
Thanks

Dear John
Please find these links on how to do SAP content Server sizing.

SAP Portal Network Sizing.

Hi Friends,
We are implementing SAP Portal for ESS/MSS.
We would like to know whether, we have required computer network resources or not.
How we can check whether we have enough bandwidth that SAP Portal would need.
Please advise how we can check existing network. And what are the values SAP recommand to have ?
Thank you.
Regards,
Prashanth.R.G.

Prashanth,
Portal sizing is based on SAPS. Based on the number of users, please use the Sap Quick Sizer tool and calculate the SAPS. You need to work with hardware vendors such as IBM, SUN, DELL, and HP to find out the best server platform that you can use for your requirements considering different metrics in to account such as Processor, Virtualization, OS, Memory, DB per CPU, High-Availability, Implementation cost, server consolidation ratio, hardware/software breakdown cost and etc.,
You can find some info at http://www.sizinglounge.com
Specific to the enterprise portal, you need to check several tuning parameters to fine-tune the performance, Most of these can be identified in SAP Going-Live GA, GO, and GV checks.
When you talk about bandwidth, you need to work with your network admin based on where your user base comes from? Intranet? Extranet? Internet? There are different tools available such as sniffers to do an end-to-end testing. Hope this helps.

Sap opentext DMS sizing

Is that possible to use SAP sizing tool for open text DMS?? or which sizing tool to use?

Hi,
For Technical details on Open Text you can look into the Open Text Knowledge base. For this you need to be registered user.
https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll/open/Knowledge>
SAP does not share any sizing document on OpenText.
Hope this answers your query.

SAP BW quick sizing

Hi all,
I am currently at a client location. I have collected all the information related to sizing and i have all the infocubes with their dimensions and keyfigures and all the ods related information. The customer wanted quick sizing output. When i go to service market place for sizing for Business Intelligence i can see some 5 sections there as table 1 to table 5. The first section i have not entered anything as it is related to planning. Table 2 i have entered the report level information. In table 3 i am not able to enter anything as i dont understand what does that section mean. In table 4 i have few doubts as i am not able to understand the field "period". I am not sure what to enter in that field. It says the no of loads which will be kept in the infocube. Does that mean we are considering the load till archival is in place or is there any meaning to that.
Please guide me if anybody has worked on the bw quick sizing so far.
Your answers would be rewarded with suficient points.
Regards
Vijay

Re-sizing SAP

Hi Experts,
We have ECC 6 system, the SAP was implemented a few years ago.
We are rolling out new businesses to the existing system using same customization template, also there will be additions to users.
From sizing perspective this categorises as re-sizing part of post golive activities.
To ensure we have enough system capacity to handle the load of new rollouts we need to calculate for additional CPU, Memory, application server and disk requirements. We have to go for re-sizing exercise. SAP recommends not to use the Quick Sizer for re-sizing. I would appreciate if you can re-direct me to the detailed SAP documentation's which describes step by step approach for re-sizing. Also any sample resizing exercise document should be a good help.
Thanks and Regards,
Gautam Patil

Hello Gautam,
Check SAP note 85524 - Sizing SAP Business Solutions (e.g. with the Quick Sizer):
How to size for additional load (re-sizing)
Monitor CPU utilization, table growth, and memory usage
Relate it to a meaningful business entity, such as the number of concurrent users or the number of active projects
Add the load coming in through the additional users and projects causing the same load structure
Judge whether your current hardware is sufficient, or whether you may need to buy additional hardware
It seems there is not an easy way to do it as the Quick Sizer. About using the Quick Sizer what you can do is to create a new project with your current requirements and the new requirements (lets say a sum of both) so you will get an approximately idea of what you will need.

ASM - Service Guard/SGeRAC - Disk Groups - Sizing

Hai.
I'm new to ASM. We want to use ASM with HP-UX11.23 and MC Service Guard/SGeRAC A11.1.17. We decided to start with initial DB sizing of 25GB, I mean the Disk Group ( hence, Volume Group) size. So, I would like to know recomended no: of Disks in this Disk Group and Disks sizing? We want to go with only one Disk Group. Also, I have few questions:
1) Do we need to have separate Disk Groups for ArchiveLogs & Database Files?
2) Can we use ASM Disk Groups for Archive Logs or is a regular File System recomended or can we have both?
regards,
Dileep Tallam.

Looking at the scalability and Data Growth data rate in you Org.., say in next 2 to 5 years ..... Estimate the size of Disk Group.
Single Disk Group is a good idea, as multiple disk groups gives no performance agains.
If planning for Flash too , Then give a separate Disk Group to Flash.
Comming to
1) Do we need to have separate Disk Groups for ArchiveLogs & Database Files?
No need for a separate Disk group for Arch/, Ctrl, Data, Redo. You can put all in one Disk Group.
2) Can we use ASM Disk Groups for Archive Logs or is a regular File System recomended or can we have both?
Archive Logs are supported on ASM. Depending upon your Backup Stragey.
If RMAN - ASM
else
file system.

Network sizing for SAP printing

Dear all,
We are in the midst of sizing network bandwidth requirement for SAP implementation which involves some remote locations. Actually Iu2019ve gone through the documentation (Front-End Network Requirements for SAP Business Solutions), and found the way of calculating the network requirements based on number of users (C = N * D * X * 0.25 formula), however Iu2019m not sure if the formula does include the SAP printing bandwidth requirement. Appreciate if you can shed some lights on SAP printing network sizing guide or sort.
Best regards
Rolando

Thanks Susanne,
Understand we need to rely on the information on how much the printing requirement is to come up with the estimation on SAP printing bandwidth requirement.
Perhaps you have some experience on the size of 1 page of SAP printlist (plain text) ? Is it safe to have assumption that 1 page of print list would have 20-30 KB in size? And ones with pictures/logos are 100-200KB in size?
Best regards

SAP EIS Architecture and sizing

I have done lot of search for SAP documentation on sizing of different components involve in solutioning SAP EIS. But unfortunately I could not found any. Can you guys help me out here?
If you did already implemented EIS, then can you guys give me a rough estimate about your transaction volume, user base and your hardware sizing? That will at least help us for initial estimation. thanks in advance.
Regards,
Krishna

Krishna,
we hesitate to give you estimates on database and hardware sizing because, as Gabi states, sizing for EIS will vary from customer to customer based on the characteristics of the supply chain being modeled. Inputs for the sizing are the number of stocking points, number of supply paths, Bill of Material details (if applicable), the number of future periods to model, the number of historical periods of forecast and sales provided, lead times across the supply chain model and the number of models you will keep.
To make some very GENERAL comments, the more material sharing that occurs in your network the more memory needed to optimize (solve for Safety Stock) the model. Two customers can have the same number of stocking points and supply paths but if one has a distribution-only supply chain while the other has a model with a very detailed Bill of Material the distribution-only model will require much less memory to optimize.
Any further sizing information should go through Consulting as Gabi has indicated. Sizing an EIS implementation is somewhat unique and therefore general, cookie-cutter recommendations are not useful.
Hopefully that is helpful to you.

Sizing SAP BW

Hi,
We are running SAP. We have SAP BW 3.50, and we are planning to implement it next year.
How do you size SAP BW. If we have X amount of input data. How many X amount of data will be in BW. In other words what is the database explosion factor.
What are the things we need to consider when sizing BW?
For example we have a six dimensional sales analysis cube, pulling data from SAP SD. We want subsecond reporting performance, so is it possible to aggregate all the data? I would expect a database explosion factor of about 70 with full aggregation. What do you think?
Thanks,
Al Lal
Manager - IT
P.S. I come from the OLAP world, and my experience is primarily with Hyperion Essbase, although I have spent a little time with TM1 and also MS Anlalysis Services. So if anyone has any questions in my area of expertize, feel free to email me.

Hi,
for startup:
Bi sizing means before buying the server, you should have knowledge how much data will be loaded into the server.
There is a document called "quick sizer". This document is used by basis people. This document contains several questions regarding the amount of data that will be loaded. The role of Bi consultant is that he should take that document and ask the client the question that is given in document.
EX: 1. Number of cube,
2. No of dimensions
3. Amount of master data per month
4, Amount of transaction data per month
5, No of users.

Are there any rough sizing guidelines for BI in SAP NetWeaver 2004s?
Note that any possible sizing is done by the hardware vendor. The SAP QuickSizer assists you with this task. The QuickSizer currently contains ABAP and Java Sizing information (for Java, see SAP Note 927530), and we are working on an extension for the BI Accelerator.
If you want to use the BI Accelerator on an existing implementation, see SAP Note 917803. If you plan to install a Unicode system, the additional requirements for Unicode are described in this document (SMP login required).
For more information, see the Performance homepage in SAP Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com/bi --> Performance). You can find a comparison of resource consumption for BW3.5 versus SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI. This presentation shows that there is no increased demand on resources when upgrading to SAP NetWeaver 2004s (given the same functionality).
For factors to be considered :
As far as Hardware sizing, the following factors are relevant:
The data volume (initial and recurring loads)
The number of users in the system
The number of (concurrent) queries and workbooks you are going to run
The frequency of data loading activities, and maintenance activities
As far as performance, factors that will improve your perfromance are:
Design your cubes wisely (balancing dimensions, dimension tables size, line item dimensions etc')
Deploy and mantain aggregates
Restricting the usage of Virtual Key Figures
Regularily fill the OLAP cache with query results
Regular Administration of data targets - Indexes, Statistics, Compression etc'
At the end of the day, the important thing is to make sure you and your users agree on the required performance.
For sizing use the tool provided by SAP at http://service.sap.com/quicksizer.

CRM TPM Database Sizing for CRM and BW

All,
I am currently sizing for a TPM implementation and have a couple of questions concerning storage capacity for CRM and BW. I have reviewed and created an Excel spreadsheet based on the SAP Sizing Guide for CRM-TPM but I am coming up short in a couple areas.
Here is the document Link: [https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000711312004E]
1. Is there a storage sizing guide for BW or what has worked for the community to estimate?
2. Is the sizing guide for CRM/TPM correct (see below example)?
3. What has worked for CRM/TPM database sizing from the community?
I have a question about section 3.3.3 Disk Sizing in CRM. If the disk sizing is based on per promotion (for the condition generation process), why is there a multiplication factor for PARTNERS? I donu2019t believe we would have more than 1 or 2 partners per promotion.
I did some quick math with some example numbers and came up with about 2.9TB for the CRM database. See below for additional info based on the equation in section 3.3.3.
Part 1
20,000 Promotions
10 Products
1000 Partners
.87TB
Part 2
10,000 Promotions
47 Products
1000 Partners
2.04TB
Is this accurate for sizing the condition generation process for the CRM database? I am failing to understand why, for example, the 20,000 promotions would have 1,200 partners included in the base equation for each promotion.
I appreciate any time you could spend in responding to my question.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

ISE VM install question related to Disk Space on VMDK

Hi all, and thanks in advance for any help/advice you can offer.
We recently licensed for 10 ISE VM instances in our environment. We are trying to install the 3945 OVA file and it is forcing us to allocate 600GB for the appliance in the VMDK. Per the install guide, however, the PSN only requires 200GB of disk space. This install will be for a PSN persona eventually, once its built and added to a deployment. So do we have to burn 400Gb for this? I am being told by the VM team that once the 600GB is allocated in the VMDK, it will not be able to be changed later to 200GB. I am told it can expand, but there is no option to shrink the disk size to 200GB. Almost seems as though the OVA should have been made to require a 200GB partition, then you could expand that to 300GB for Admin persona's and more for Monitoring persona's. As it stands, without the option to shrink the drive size, we are wasting 400GB unless I am missing something. Thus I am asking for your help!
Install guide where VM disk sizing is specified is located at:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ise/1-3/installation_guide/b_ise_InstallationGuide13/b_ise_InstallationGuide12_chapter_011.html#ID-1417-000000d9
Thank you,

Hello Prasad,
I am not sure what database are will be using in your system.
Check SAPnotes # 799639 "Hardware Requirements" and # 956921- IDES ERP 2005 ECC 6.0.
Here are databse approximations :
The database sizes are:
ORACLE: 200 GB
MaxDB: 180 GB
MSSQL: 150 GB
DB2-UDB 150 GB
DB2 on iSeries 240 GB
I can't comment on RAM size as i am not aware number of users, functionalities you will be using etc.
for this you can create a project under http://service.sap.com/sizing. You will get a close approximation.
This is a easy self guided procedure and its good, you can get a close hardware approximation thought this quick sizer tool.
Regarding processor its up to you. You can call vendors and check according to your budget.

Timeouts increased after we moved USR, SAP data files and TLogs to new SAN

We are having issues with timeouts after we moved our USR, SAP SQL Datafiles and SAP Transaction Logs from our old SAN to a new SAN.
Timeouts for SAPGUI users are set to 10 minutes.
We are running Windows Server 2003 with SQL Server 2005.
The SAP database has 8 datafiles with a total size of about 350GB.
Procedure we used to move SAP to new SAN:
1. Attached 3 new SAN Volumes
     -a. USR
     -b. Data Files
     -c. Transaction Logs
2. Shutdown SAP and SQL services
3. Alligned the new volumes with a 1024kb offset and gave the Data files and Transaction log volumes a 64kb allocation
    size. (The alignment and 64kb allocation size were not setup for these volumes on the old SAN)
4. Copied the 3 volumes from old to new.
5. Changed the new volumes drive letter to the drive letters of the old volumes.
     -a. I had to restart in order to change the USR volume.
     -b. Because of this I had to resetup the sapmnt and saploc shares.
6. Started SQL services and then SAP services and everything came up just fine.
The week before we had anywhere from 1 to 9 timeouts per day.
This week: Monday had 20 and Tuesday had 26.
On Monday we saw that MD07 was the only transaction that was timing out, but Tuesday had others as well.
The amount of users in the system is about the same. The amount of orders going in are about the same. No big transports went in right before we switched.
Performance counters that I know about for disk look a lot better on the Data Files.
- PAGEIOLATCH_SH ms/request is about 50% better
- Under I/O Performance in DBACOCKPIT:
- MS/OP is now anywhere from 5 to 30 - Old SAN: 50 to 300
- The Hit Ratio is over 99% - same as the old SAN
Looking at Wiley Introscope graphs:
- The "SAP Host: Average queue length" is about 30% to 40% lower then the old SAN.
- the "SAP Host: Disk utilization in %" is about the same.
Questions:
1. Did we do anything wrong or miss anything with our move procedure?
     a. Do we have to do anything in SQL since we changed volumes even though we kept the drive letters the same?
2. What other logs or performance counters should I be looking at?
Thank you,
Neil

Our new SAN Vendor is Compellent. They have been fantastic. I would highly recommend checking them out.
The reasons for the timeouts had nothing to do with the SAN...Well kind of anyway.
I decided to check t-code SM20 to see what users were doing when these timeouts were happening. What I found was the program R_BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN was being called thousands of times in a matter of 10 to 15 minutes at random times through out the day. It would take up about 50 to 80 percent of the amount of programs being executed during these times.
So, I sent this information to our developers and they found out that R_BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN was being called from another program that was looping thousands of times. The trigger to stop the loop wasn't happening fast enough. They made a change and we haven't seen the timeouts since.
I think that the performance increases allowed the loop to run faster which caused the slow downs and timeouts to happen more often.
Thank you to everyone for their help!

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
