System sizing for BPC 7.0M MS version

Former Member

Hi, Sirs

In the Scalability Guidelines (Section 2.3) of the Master guide for BPC 7.0M

follwing 3 elements are described in the matrix as key factors for system sizing. 

For example, Medium BPC install

1. Concurrent users = More than 75 concurrent users

2. Cube size < 1.5GB

3. Largest Fact table < 50000 rows

We have plan to install BPC 7.0M SP05 and followings are our estimation for system sizing.

1. Concurrent users = 76 concurrent users

2. Cube size = 800MB

3. Largest Fact table =144000 rows

'Largest Fact table' exceeds the value of Medium BPC install,

but we'd like to use servers which is described for Medium BPC install.

Would you please inform me the impact of the excess on system sizing?

Thank you for your support in advance.

Best Regards

Hiro

I have been told that what you may have as guidance is an older system sizing guide. PLease check the newer 7 release for a new set of sizing guidance that was published in JUne or July for version 7. The fact table rows is too small in my opinion, and anything around 5-15 million records would be medium in my view.

Hope this helps.

It will be any problem if the sizing exceed the recommendation. Actually is a good practice because it allows you to increase the number of users without any changes into landscape later on.

From the performances point of view the system will have the some performances if you will use the sizing recommended by SAP.

On the other hand if you will not follow the sizing guide and you will use smaller server than recommended then it is possible to have bad performances into system.

I hope this it will help.

Hi, Sorin

Thank you for your reply.

I understand that it is possible to use smaller server but the performance will be bad.

Kind regards
