Storage requirements for production environment hosting SSAS multidimensional o tabular solutions

Hi,
I'm searching the good requirements about the storage in an prod environment to support efficiently a SSAS tabular or multidimensional solutions, in terms of capacity, rate, I/O, etc.
Any suggests to me, please?
Thanks

There a super nice video from Marco Russo and a pptx about it here:

  • License required for Production Environment

    Want to know what kind of license would be required to deploy Crystal Reports on a Production Environment  with a Java based Web Application.
    At present, we have been looking at Jasper Reports and we are trying to understand what kind of cost will be involved in using Crystal Reports in a Production Environment.

  • Skill set required for Hyperion environment patching

    Hi all,
    Could you please let me know what specific skill set is required for hyperion environment patching?
    Does it come under hyperion application administration? Could you please also help me understand the difference between Hyperion application administrator and Hyperion infrastructure administrator?

    Is there a reason for asking this question? It all depends on the company to how the role is defined, it is possbile application administrator or infrastructure administrator could be applying patches, usually falls more under an infra role though.
    You would usually need product knowledge, the technologies behind EPM and the architecture, OS skills.
    Cheers

  • Is vmware supported for production environment ?

    Hi All,
    Is vmware supported for production environment ?
    Thanks
    Sunny

    All,
    I'm glad someone has outlined the clear support statement that has existed for sometime between VMware - SAP.  For those of you still running on Oracle, here is some good news:
    Wording towards SAP Customers requesting support:
    "Oracle, VMware and SAP are working collaboratively to ensure support for SAP customers that use VMware virtualization for SAP solutions running Oracle DB. Functional tests are currently being performed to verify supportability of the SAP&Oracle stack.  Details will be made available in SAP note 1173954 u201CSupport of Oracle for VMwareu201D after tests have been completed. It is expected that in Q1 2010, ESX 3.5 and later releases including vSphere 4 will be supported by Oracle and SAP according to Oracleu2019s metalink note 249212."
    There is no reason why x86 platform today cannot run the most demanding workloads on VMware vSphere in a production environment.  But has noted earlier, don't get hung up on "production" - you have heaps of TestDev, SolMan TestDev, sandboxes, gateways, application servers etc that should immediately by put into a VM - once you are comfortable with your solution in-house, I'm sure you will move production instances into a VM as well.

  • Patching strategy for Production environment

    Hi all,
    Can anyone share their patch strategy specially for production environment?? We have production environment and we are planning to patch our databases using PSU pacthes with no downtime. Our production environment has standby. We have one option that we can make standby to primary. Is there any other options that we can use??? Also we are not using Grid control.
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    In 11gR2 onwards it is possible to patch without downtime using a physical standby database (converts to transient logical standby). Please look at the document below. There is a script on Metalink as well which makes this all much easier.

  • Oracle Installation for Production Environment.

    Hi All,
    We need to install Oracle in our production environment.
    But since there is no DBA in our project, we need to do it by ourself.
    I was just wondering what all steps and cautions I need to take to install it.
    I was told just double click on Setup.exe :-) and that would suffice.
    I am pretty sure its not that easy, atleast for a production environment.
    We might need to set some params, may be.
    We are at present using Oracle 10g Rel 1.
    Any help/suggestion would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Tanuja

    Well, it does more complicate than a double click of setup.exe, especially for a production database.
    It's not only about the installation, also think about how do you want to create your database, the storage configuration, database configuration, and backup/recover strategy etc.
    For installation, make sure you follow Oracle installation guide,
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B10130_02/toc.htm
    And there are many other document here

  • Topology for production environment

    this question is related to production environment deployment and clustering.
    we have 1 physical server where we have webcenter domain. this domain has 1 admin server and 1 managed server (custom web center portal managed server).
    our plan is to deploy our application on this managed server.
    this is no clustered environment and not recommended (no failover, no load balancing).
    what shall we do?
    shall we create another managed server (custom web center portal managed server) and deploy our application on these 2 managed servers? there will be a load balancer in front to take care of transferring request to both the servers...
    what's your suggestions?
    please note that i know specific answer will depend on NFR (user load, performance etc) but i am looking for general guidance and reference around same like -
    how many managed server recommended?
    what kind of topology recommended for web center application?
    etc
    thanks.

    I'd recommend you to start with this document: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11035_01/wls100/cluster/overview.html as a lot of this question is related to Weblogic clustering than WebCenter.
    Note that whilst clustering has many pros, it has also few cons; among those:
    - you might require additional hardware/software, or used components (like filesystem) will have to have features that you don't need in a non-clustered environment
    - though small, scaling does consume some resources (I've heard that WebCenter Content takes 1-2% of Solaris, but up-to 25% on Windows Servers!)
    - it's always at least a bit more expensive
    Therefore, you should not go for a cluster, because it's cool, but because you have damn good reasons for that (that you didn't mention!), stemming from SLAs, or requirements for Disaster Recovery.
    You write that you have just one physical server, so you already have one potential single point of failure.
    I think I've heard that Weblogic Server itself is capable of self-recovery; this means, that a server may go down (you will lose all the current sessions), but is capable of auto-recovery. If your users survive that from time to time they will lose uncommitted work, then maybe a need for clustering (HA) won't be that strong (you might also go just for tuning your Weblogic Server).
    On the other hand, where clustering might be necessary, if you need to scale, especially, if you need cloud-like increase/decrease of resources. I doubt it is possible to say up-front how many servers is recommended, but you may tune this later - whilst going from 1 node to 2 is relatively a big leap, going from 2 to 3, or 3 to 4 is then quite easy.
    Either way, I'd recommend you to be in sync with your app server admin.thanks jiri. this was helpful.
    while i agree that any architectural decision should be justifiable to requirements but as far as my experience goes clustering is basic thing in any production environment... in case 1 managed server goes down, other can still serve requests...
    i'll read link provided by you and ask specific questions if any...
    thanks.

  • (realistic) system requirements for development environment under Forms 11g

    Hello !
    How are the realistic system requirements for a complete development environment
    under Forms 11g (Forms11g/Reports11g/Weblogic-Server) ?
    From our experience there is a problem with the RAM-limitation of Windows 32 bit !
    Is there anybody to exchange his experiences ...
    Thanks in advance !

    The Oracle Solaris Studio 12.4 will officially support Oracle Linux 5,6 when it releases later this year.
    Since Oracle  Linux is based on RHEL, Oracle Solaris Studio should work on RHEL.
    Support customers may report issues against RHEL and the Oracle Solaris Studio team will do its  best to address these issues but fixes are not guaranteed.
    Oracle Solaris Studio components such as compilers and command line tools do not require Java.  If you install the product using the Oracle Solaris Studio Installer in non-interactive mode you can install the Solaris Studio product without having Java on your system though the installer will issue a warning message if Java is not found on the system.  Alternately you can install the product using the tar file distribution if Java is not installed. If you install via the tar file, it is not possible to install patches later.

  • Best Practice for Production environment

    Hello everyone,
    can someone share the best practice for a production environment? or is there a SAP standard best practice to follow in a Production landscape?
    i understand there are Best practices available for Implementation , Migration and upgrade. But, i was unable to find one for productive landscape
    thanks.

    Hi Siva,
    What best practise are you looking for ? If you can be specific on your question we could provide appropriate response.
    From my basis experience some of the best practices.
    1) Productive landscape should have high availability to business. For this you may setup DR or HA or both.
    2) It should have backup configured for which restore has been already tested
    3) It should have all the monitoring setup viz application, OS and DB
    4) Productive client should not be modifiable
    5) Users in Production landscape should have appropriate authorization based on SOD. There should not be any SOD conflicts
    6) Transport to Production should be highly controlled. Any transport to Production should be moved only with appropriate Change Board approvals.
    7) Relevant Database and OS security parameters should be tested before golive and enabled
    8) Pre-Golive , Post Golive should have been performed on Production system
    9) EWA should be configured atleast for Production system
    10) Production system availability using DR should have been tested
    Hope this helps.

  • Container classes generation for production environment

    You can run the WebLogic EJB compiler on the JAR file before you deploy the beans,
    or you can let WebLogic Server run the compiler for you at deployment time.
    I have to release :
    - an ear, containing 1 ejb and other stuff
    - a client-jar (delegate, remote, home), that will be included in another ear (client
    application of our ejb).
    Both the ear will be deployed on the same wl instance (6.1sp2) (production environment).
    For a production environment, which are the pros and contras ?
    (not considering deploy time differences on wlserver, of course).
    Which is the best practice ? Is it suggested to release the ear with the container
    classes already generated (run ejbc before) or delegate the generation to weblogic
    server ?
    Thanks in advance

  • OWB 10g R1 : Installation required in Production Environment?

    Hi All,
    We are using OWB 10g Release 1.
    We are planning to create a production environment, where we will only deploy the code generated by OWB. But, the mappings(packages) that are generated using OWB , use some audit tables. So , we are wondering if we have to install OWB in production environment also.
    Anybody who is having idea abt this , please reply
    Thanks in Advance

    No; you CAN have only one design repository and in this, as many runtime connections as you would like: (development, test, education,pre-production, production etc). This might go against good application development practice, but it is possible, and can be perfectly ok in smaller warehouse projects with few developers. And thenyou don't have to go through the hazzle of moving metadata between repositories, in the correct order. One advice though: Have different passwords for the runtime connections, so you don't connect to the wrong runtime environment by mistake ;-)
    best regards

  • What are the System Requirements for Web Server hosting Adobe Air application

    Working on a project that is using Adobe Air . The Adobe support site has system requirements for the client side application, but for the server side, what are the system requirements?
    Using a Windows server, would expect to have approx. 100 concurrent connections at any given time.

    Adobe AIR applications are installed on the end user's computer. They are not hosted on a web server. You can deploy an AIR file, which is the installer file for an AIR application, via your web server.

  • Consumptin Account Required for Production Order

    While i am creating production order in CO01, it is showing the following error.
    Consumption account cannot be determined
    Transaction                            :    GBB
    Valuation / acct modification  :     /AUF
    Material / valuation class        :     (Finished Product) /7920
    Why should we assign consumption account for valuation class 7920. Where i am doing mistake.

    I had faced similar error y'day.. message that say's 'consumption account'  is really misleading.. but, i think system is checking this account assignment upfront while creating the order. basically GBB/AUF assignment is required for 101 of FG/SFG material after production..
    so, just assign a p&l account to VC 7920 and create the order it would be good..

  • Is standalone OC4J scalable for production environment

    Hi,
    Can our team use an OC4J standalone (a cluster perhaps) to deliver Web applications on a production environment?
    The Web app comprises JSPs and Servlets only at the moment, in future we are considering EJBs and other J2EE components.
    Will standalone OC4J scale well and is performance good enough for real world applications?
    Thank you
    Llies Meridja

    OC4J standalone is the exact same code that is packaged inside of Oracle9iAS so will have the same characteristics of Oracle9iAS. The benchmarks that Oracle markets with the ECPerf and SpecJAppServer is same thing ... so you should have no issues with performance etc.
    You might have seen that we recently released a Java Edition of Oracle9iAS, which focuses primarily on the Java features rather than the extended features like Portal, Wireless etc. If you look at this URL, you will see the feature set comparison of this minimal Java version compared to the other versions:
    http://www.oracle.com/ip/deploy/ias/index.html?pkgsum.html
    Further, as I understand it, as long as you license one of the Java Edition, Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition, you will be supported running the corresponding instance stand-alone instance of OC4J if you want to work outside of the out-of-the-box framework which Oracle9iAS provides for OC4J instances to run in.

  • Recommended Requirements for Development Environment

    Hello,
    what are recomended requirements for development enviroment for WebCenter. We intend to have JDeveloper and WebLogic server with WebCenter on our developer machines and we are wondering wht would be appripriate hardwer to run all of this smoothly.
    For JDeveloper with the WebCenter extension, 2GB RAM should suffice and WL with WebCenter requires somewhere between 3-4GB. Do you think we really need 6-8GB RAM for developers? What processor power would you recomend?
    Thank you for your answers,
    Martin

    6-8 GB ram is overkill.
    I can do the development quiet easy on a 4GB machine.
    When i take a look at the memory usage of jdev and the integrated WLS they both sum up to 1.5 to 2GB.
    if you however are planning on running a standalone WLS instead of the integrated WLS than you need somewhat more memory. Are you going to develop for webcenter spaces? If so, does every developer need a WLS with webcenter spaces installed? If so, 8GB ram is not overkill!
    So conclusion:
    A modern processor. One of the latest core2duo or i5,i7 processors.
    4GB ram when you use jdev + webcenter extension and run integrated WLS
    6GB ram when you use jdev + webcenter extension + integrated WLS + standalone WLS
    8GB ram if developers need their own instance of webcenter spaces.
    I also think 64 bit OS realy helps a lot for this...
    Currently i am working on a following machine (laptop)
    core2duo P8600 @2.4 Ghz
    3GB ram (win xp 32 bit)
    on this machine i use jdev + webcenter extension and integrated WLS. I can develop quiet easy but i have to restart jdev and the IWLS quiet often.
    At my own laptop at home i have following setup:
    core2duo P9400 @2.53ghz
    4GB ram
    jdev + wc extension + IWLS runs very good. Deploying goes faster, testing goes faster,...
    I tried running webcenter spaces on that machine and i could wait ten minutes before a page loads. Realy not productive.
    I need to do some development on webcenter spaces and my new laptop is currently in order:
    i7 720q @ 1.7ghz
    8GB ram
    I hope i can run webcenter spaces on this...
