SD - situation/effort analysis, sizing questions.

Hi,
do not you know if there is some SAP methodology or template which will enable me to get an overview about size of the AS IS situation from sales and distribution point of view in an company?
I am looking for ideally list of questions which will allow me to estimate effort that will be needed for sucesfull rollout.
Example of questions coming to my mind....will existing business processes be only used or new have to deployed? How many sales areas (or e.g. shipping points) needs to be created? Etc.
Please consider this should be an SAP rollout for more distribution center(s).
Thank you!

Get a copy of the SAP ASAP methodolgy and use that or see if you can get a copy of a blue print that has the questions already included and work your way through it.

Analysis Authorization questions

How does Analysis Authorizations work in below cases
1)Infoobject "A" set as Authorization relevant (In Bex explorer tab)
2)Infoobject "B" which is ATTRIBUTE of infooobject "A" set as Authorization relevant
3)Infoobject "A" and "B" both set as Authorization relevant
How to design query in each of the cases above with or without authorization variables and what parameters to be set in the RSECADMIN for infoobject "A" and "B" in each case like ":", "*" and what would be the behaviour after setting the above behaviour .
can any one give example above with demonstration please

Hi John,
please search first the forum and read the online documentation before posting these kind of questions. You should find more than enough information via the above mentioned channels. You save time and effort of your peers.
To answer your questions briefly:
1. 0COUNTRY is in the free characteristics (not in the drilldown) without any selections
==> You need the ':' value, since whenever you ommit a characteristic you basically see want to see the summary value (you summarize / accumulate over the specific characteristics). Nevertheless, as soon as you drilldown on the characteristic you need the specfic values of the drilldown.
- or-
2. 0COUNTRY is not used in the query.
==> You need ':', too.

BW-SEM hardware sizing question

Hi all, please help me with sizing process
Now I'm doing sizing of the big BW-SEM system.
I'm using quicksizer and document "Sizing ASAP FOR BW ACCELERATOR" (https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001951182003)
There is such phrase: "In a comparison of SAP BW benchmark results with SD benchmark results we have obtained a factor of 2.28" (page 11)
what type of SAPS I obtain from quicksizer - SD or BW?
So, should I result from quicksizer tool multiple by 2,28?
Are there any official documents for this question?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards, Elena

Hi;
Currently our current 11.5.10 Production is running on a Two node architecture on HP-Unix PA-RISC with the 128 GB of RAM on the Application Server and 256 GB RAM on the DB Node.
For R12 the servers will be on HP-Unix Itanium and the sizing has been factored as 128 GB for the Application server and the DB will be on RAC with 128 GB of RAM each on the DB Nodes.
I want to know is the sizing correct?
When sizing a RAC Env is it ok to just split the current configuration into two and size the same on two nodes?
Please share your experiences.We do not know how your machine has process which mean we do not know your activiy on your system. You can check some benchmark
http://www.oracle.com/us/solutions/benchmark/apps-benchmark/ebs-standard-benchmark-overview-192676.html
Its also important how mch cpu you have.
Let me give you example from our system. We have 2 node apps server, 2 node rac and db size is almost 18T and our system is working nonstop. Our db has 30CPU and 120g RAm for each node. For apps cpu count and ram count are not like that.10 CPU and 20G ram.
We are happy wiht apps side, but we still working on better performance issue for our db side

Combined Analysis related question

Dear all,
I have a requirement from my customer as follows:
- Display the list of opportunities split with Estimated order taking by Type (New business, Development on existing customer, Contract Renewal) and by Sales Stage with an indication of the forecasted turnover for the current year next to the Estimated order taking.
Forecasted turnover is stored in an oppty related object (Assets) which has been configured to support our need (Business need is to have a forecast year after year and to have an estimated turnover for the year).
Anyway, the aim is to have a list of oppties that should look like this Mockup
I tried a combined analysis with 2 reports :
- First report is the full list of Opportunities
- Second report is the list of opportunities with a line of Forecast for 2012
I select UNION and the result is not the expected Mockup, the Oppty Revenue and 2012 Forecast columns are duplicated.
Can anyone please advise on the right way to perform this?
Thanks in advance,
Charles DUBANT.

Hello, I would like to verify if my explanations here
are correct. ( I believe they are, after some
experimental tests, but just in case)
In a XOR statement, both expressions are evaluated,
but are the alterations to the x variable permanent,
even if the if statement is false and hence doesnt
ever run? I mean there could be a complicated boolean
condition that alters variable x for the if statement
to be evaluated. When/if that statement eventually
evaluates to false, the expression following the if
will never run... But is the variable x permanently
altered? Say, for code that follows later in the
source file?-- So when conditionals are evaluated,
regardless of the outcome (tru or false) any
alterations to variables remain. I think thats true.
Thanks for any input.If you change the variable's value in the process of evaluating a conditional then yes, that value will remain. However, XOR does not change the variable's value. The only thing I see modifying variables is your prefix and postfix unary operators.

OIM Profile Field\Column Analysis Approach & Questions

Like many of you know IdM projects are often rooted in analysis and not implementation (as much). As part of that I'm creating a matrix of OIM Profile (form) Fields and\or DB columns (mostly USR) - including name, isvalidated, isrequired, format, length, defaults, values, etc. Then the next step is to do the same with the resources (AD, LDAP, DB, etc). Then that analysis becomes the basis to determine what gets "pushed up" to the OIM profile, who should be the 'authoritative source', etc. I know this is a very common approach and one that Oracle even uses on many of it's OIM consulting gigs. Any comments on this approach is appreciated.
But what I'm most interested in is any insight people can share about these following OIM Fields\DB Columns:
1. USR.USR_CREATED, USR.USR_UPDATED - is that technically set to be SYSDATE (of the DB) upon insert\update? Opposed to likely defining a new Date() in the java. Is this true of all the DATE related columns? Are the DATE fields validated (OOB) so that they cannot occur in the past?
2. USR.USR_MANAGER vs USR.USR_MANAGER_KEY - Are these both references to the same thing? If so, why is this needed?
3. USR.USR_DATA_LEVEL - what\when is it used?
4. USR.USR_FSS - what\when is it used?
5. USR_LOCATION - what\when is it used?
6. USR_NOTE - what\when is it used?
7. USR_PWD_MIN_AGE_DATE - is that used to not allow people to change the password until after X many days? Or is more about finding the LCD password interval across all the resources & OIM?
8. USR_UPDATE_AD - Is this used for AD? If so, why isn't it prefixed with UDF?
9. USR_TODO - is this just there in case Oracle wants to add a field in the future? Or is actually used currently?

1. USR.USR_CREATED, USR.USR_UPDATED -> By default, you do not have access to these through the web. They are automatically updated with the SYSDATE. They are also used in audit information and reports.
2. USR.USR_MANAGER is not used. The USR.USR_MANAGER_KEY contains the USR_KEY of the manager. Could be in the database from previous versions and no longer used.
3. DATALEVEL is used on all the tables. If the value is set to 1, you cannot make changes to it. If you try and update specific tasks in the Xellerate User provisioning process, or the default tasks on the Users Data Object, you will recieve an error that you cannot modify this value. It's because the security is set to 1.
4. Unused?
5. USR.USR_LOCATION -> You could add this value to be displayed in the User Form and write whatever location information you want to it. By default, it is not used.
6. USR_NOTE -> Unused. Could be from previous version. Like Location, you could add it to the User Form to be displayed if you want.
7. USR_PWD_MIN_AGE_DATE -> This valus is populated if your password policy has a password minimum age date preventing immediate change.
8. USR_UPDATE_AD -> Not used. However, if you import the AD Connector, you will get an UDF for it.
9. USR_TODO -> Not used. Could be added to User Form.

JTree sizing question...

Hello:
I have a JTree for which each cell contains a button. I have written a renderer that renders the button, and I realize that I have to do some special stuff to capture a click on the button. My question is unrelated to all of that.
The problem is that over time, the labels on my buttons change (and may become longer (wider)), but the tree size does not change. In fact, when I update the button label and the tree is re-rendered the rendering of the button gets "chopped off". I've put the tree in a scroll pane, but this doesn't help - the right side of some of the buttons get cut off to the original tree size. I've tried lots of different variations on setPreferredSize, calling repaint, etc, and am not having any luck. I've put together a demonstration of this behavior in a smallish application that I'm posting here, where I create a 2 node tree with buttons that read "Hi", then I change the button labels to "Goodbye" and re-render. You'll see that the button's are cut off about halfway through the button.
In case its important - I'm running java version 1.5.0_07 on a 32-bit Linux box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
import javax.swing.*;

public class JTreeQuestion
public static void main(String [] args)
    JTreeFrame f = new JTreeFrame();
    f.pack();
    f.setLocation(30, 30);
    //Draws buttons with "Hi" (short string)
    f.setVisible(true);
    ButtonNode.updateString("Goodbye");
    //Draws buttons with longer string, buttons get "cut off"
    f.repaint();

JTree tree;

    super("My Tree");
    DefaultMutableTreeNode root;
    root = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(new ButtonNode());
    root.add(new DefaultMutableTreeNode(new ButtonNode()));
    tree = new JTree(root);
    tree.setCellRenderer(new ButtonNodeRenderer());
    treeView = new JScrollPane(tree);
    add(treeView);
class ButtonNode
public static String str = "Hi";
public static void updateString(String inStr)
{ str = inStr; }
String getStr()
{ return str; }
class ButtonNodeRenderer extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer
public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree,
                          Object value, boolean sel, boolean expanded,
                          boolean leaf, int row, boolean hasFocus)
    Box theBox = new Box(BoxLayout.X_AXIS);
    super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, value, sel, expanded,
                                       leaf, row, hasFocus);
    DefaultMutableTreeNode jtreeNode = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)value;
    theBox.add(new JButton(((ButtonNode)jtreeNode.getUserObject()).getStr()));
    return (theBox);
}

For those who are interested. The DefaultTreeModel has a method named nodeChanged() that tells the tree model that a specific node has changed, and the model re-interprets the cell causing its sizse to change as necessary, so that the full button is rendered now.
Basically what I did was instead of calling repain, I call a method that I wrote that loops through all the tree nodes, indicates they have changed, then repaint's, and it all works out. My trees are relatively small, so this is fine, but if others face the same problem, you'll probably want to selectively indicate which nodes have changed so the tree model doesn't have to do more work than necessary.

Catalog database sizing questions

Hi There,
We need to create an RMAN catalog that would be able to support 8 databases 5 of which are around 50gb(40GB db files+10gb arcglogs) and the remaing 3 are about 120gb (100 db files and 20 archlogs).
Does anyone have any sizing recommendations regarding memory structures (sga, pga, large pool)? disk space? We are using Oracle 11.1.0.7 on windows 2008 server. The server itself is an intel box, dual core E5440 - with 16gb RAM.
Thanks

Hi rsar001,
The size of the catalog schema and database in your setup will not grow to more than 1GB (as long as you maintain a retention policy).
Just set sga_target to 1G.
As an example I have around 100 databases with sizes bewteen 10 GB and 2T and run a daily backup on all of them retention policy 1 month.
The catalog is and stays around 700M for more than 2 years.
Rgds,
Tycho

Localhost - Analysis Services Question

Hi folks,
I have a SQL Server named instance called (mymachine)\Tuesday that was installed with SQL Server Developer so I could run Analysis Services.   My original installation was done in SQL Express.   When I try to deploy a Analysis Services
Project I change the connection string from the default - localhost to the named instance (mymachine)\Tuesday.   I get the following error:
Error 62 The project could not be deployed to the 'localhost' server because of the following connectivity problems : A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running. To verify or update the name of the target
server, right-click on the project in Solution Explorer, select Project Properties, click on the Deployment tab, and then enter the name of the server.  0 0
Why does the connection string have to be set to localhost?
Is the localhost connection string my original instance in SQL Express?
Can I make my Developer edition (mymachine)\Tuesday the localhost?
Can I deploy to my Developer named instance (mymachine)\Tuesday instead of localhost?
Thanks for your patience!

Sizing Question

I am using the quicksizer tool and had a question that I could not find the answer to in any quicksizer documentation.
When you fill out the EP quicksizer active users table there are 4 scenario categories:
     NW-EP-ESS (Employee Self Service)
     NW-EP-INT (EP Intranet scenario)
     NW-EP-PCC (EP People Centric Scenario)
     NW-EP-PRT (EP Custom developement scenario)
Do I fill out all 4 scenarios or just one. And if a user exists in both do I add them to both?
Appreciate your assistance,
Tom

With the help of a collegue I was able to figure it out. These 4 categroies in the quicksizer are just for notation. It really doesn't matter where you put the data. The only thing you need to fill out is concurrent users, think time, java iviews per page, url iviews per page, % KMC and total users logins within an hour.
Regards,
Tom

Sizing question (beware newbie)

Hi all,
Here’s a question from a true newbie, I hope it is not
to ignorant to answer though.
It might be the case that this question has been addressed
somewhere in this forum already but that I don’t recognize
the problem due to terminology, to which I’m still to new.
The other problem is that don’t have the site online so
it’s not possible to show it live.
I’ve tried to make an index page (html) with an image
in the middle like a bar. On this bar a few buttons are placed.
When I preview this page in a browser it looks right at first but
when I use the ctrl button and scroll-wheel, (normally altering the
text size) it completely changes the size of the size except for
that bar image. The buttons appear somewhere else on the page. (not
a pretty picture)
Is there a way to prevent the use of ctrl combined with the
mouse scroll-wheel?
It was told me that using fonts measured as pixels this
wouldn’t be possible but that didn’t prevent this to
occur.
Thanks for any help.
Kind regards,
Lexz.

Enterprise DQ - hardware and sizing question

Hi, we are considering implementing Oracle Enterprise Data Quality (all components) and would like to know the hardware (memory, number of CPU's, etc.) sizing parameters/requirements for this software. Obviously, data volumes are a key factor. I'm hoping someone in this community can indicate the "hardware" size they have implemented DQ on and if there are any concerns/issues that, if not considered, can have an adverse impact on the performance and operation of this software stack.
Thank you.
Brian.

Hi Brian,
See my response to your separate mail.

CCM - Trex sizing question

Dear all,
I'm currenlty installing CCM and Trex on a development system. I was wondering whether someone of you had an indication on what the approximate required disk space is for Trex ?
The Trex will only be used by CCM and CCM (in our dev system) will have minimal (approx. 100-200) catalog items.
Thanks for your reply,
Best regards,
Kristof

Hi
<u>TREX is mandatory for CCM2.0. TREX is a required component of the SAP CCM 2.0, even in the scenario where the search functionality would not be used (i.e. in a scenario of just navigating the hierarchial structure and selecting items) the TREX is still a requirement for publishing and indexing of the published data.</u>

Tuxedo domain sizing question

Background:
This is a Peoplesoft app (PT 8.5, Tux 10gR3, Weblogic 11g)
We are moving from 4 app server virtual machines which each hosted a tuxedo domain (4 vcpu each, actually getting slices from 8 physical cpu each) to one physical server with 12 cores (2 6 core procs). We only need this horsepower for 7 30 minute events per year (course registration). Otherwise a single domain is fine.
We ran a test last event that showed a physical machine significantly outperformed the virtual when given similar resources, So we have decided to employ a large physical server.
We intended to configure 3 Tuxedo Domains, mostl;y as it helps us compare to where we came from (Webserver VM will still host one domain) so we are effectively throwing 4 cpu at each domain. This comes from an understanding that we shouldn't have too many appsrv processes in one domain. We currently run a a pre-spun 25 appsrv procs each domain, and we get ok performance. From the looks of our physical server test, our performance will improve.
During the peak of the registration event, we have around 500 sessions, we limited to 225 active http sessions on the webserver, which acts as the valve to the event. Note: all previous events were on PT8.48, OAS 10g.
So , on to my question.
Is there a way to make a single larger domain, with say 50 or more appsrv processes (mostly to avoid the config maint) or does anyone have any recommendations here?
Any and all input appreciated.

Hi,
Take these comments with a large grain of salt as they are generalizations and not necessarily applicable to PeopleSoft. I'd really suggest asking this question in their forums as there may be PeopleSoft specific configuration constraints that I'm about to violate.
In any case a Tuxedo domain can range from a single machine with a single 1 core processor, to many machines each with many cores. Once you move beyond a single machine, regardless of the number of cores, you are in a clustered environment, or what Tuxedo refers to an MP domain.

Database Sizing Question for 11i

I am looking to see if there is a spreadsheet or tool that would tell me the optimal database size, for 11i.
I understand there was one for 11 that would tell you the best size after you told it the number of suppliers you have, the number of inventory items available, number of accounts, etc...
Thanks
Sanjay

Stefan,
I guess both of us were writing at the same time and hence I missed your post edited part. Let me explain the user part. You can think about them in 3 different roles:
Named users - Number of users in the system which may or may not have "Guest" users. Not much useful for hardware sizing.
Logged On Users - Users currently logged on to the system not yet logged off and user logged on to the system but killed the browser. But they are still in the J2EE system holding memory with session info. They are useful for Memory sizing.
"Active Users" - They are doing sometime with some "think-time". They could be "high/medium/low" users based on the "think-time". They contribute to both CPU and Memory sizing.
Based on the above definitions (which may vary with different models) sizing will vary. Once you know your user profile (how many of them and how they use), you can use quicksizer to have some initial estimate. In case you have access to SAP fields and/or support, you can contact for some additional information. Those are useful for initial stage. If you have your system available, run some load tests to verify your initial estimate and refine them.
Thanks,
Swapan

Upgrade sizing question

Hello,
I am trying to estimate the database's monthly growth after upgrade from ERP 4.6 to ECC 6.0.
For example, currently, I see that the Database grows by 1 Gb per month.
Can I assume this is the same growth level per month after the upgrade?
I've read the notes on the full increase in database size, and I am ok with that. But that doesn't answer my question. I don't think I use the same percentages from the notes.
Also, I don't see the monthly growth listed in the quicksizer.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks
Doug

Hello Doug,
The increase of the database in a month is very difficult question. Because, this depends on the number of users, components that you use in ECC 6.0 and the type of business you run.
The initial database size for ECC 6.0 will be obvisouly more almost double when you compare to ERP 4.6. So, you can expect the same amount of growth with a little additional in ECC 6.0.
Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Satish.
