BPC V7.5 and V10 Thresholds

30 Views

Hello- I am in the midst of assessing our current version of BPC V7.5 in terms of stability, scalability, and performance. The business has significant expansion plans and need guidance as to whether or not V7.5 can handle their planned expansion. Further on that note, if V7.5 can't handle it, can V10? I have put together some specific questions relevant to our business platform and if these could get answered by a SAP BPC expert, it would help me out tremendously!

Thank you in advance for any input you might have to offer.

1) (In V7.5) There are currently 5 AppSets with up to 7 applications per each AppSet. The business plans to add up to 4 more AppSets in 2013. What does SAP recommend in regards to AppSet and Application development in V7.5? What about in V10?

2) Currently the business runs into extremely slow processing times upon execution of the Applications. Does V10 promise to improve processing time? If yes, how is this done exactly? Why is it slow in V7.5?

3) Currently the business runs into inconsistent and extremely slow data-loading processing times. Does V10 promise to improve this? If yes, how is this done exactly?

4) (In V7.5) Would processing time be improved by creating additional AppSets with fewer Applications (as opposed to fewer AppSets with more Applications per each AppSet)?


5) Does concurrent usage count across AppSets? For instance, if two different users are logged in and working in two different AppSets, is that considered concurrent usage?

6) SAP has guidelines around concurrent users (i.e. I believe 150 to 200 is the industry standard for V7.5). What are the guidelines for AppSet development and activity within V7.5?


7) What are SAPs guidelines around the number and size of dimensions in V7.5? What are they in V10?

8) What are SAPs guidelines around the number and size of the fact table in V7.5? What are they in V10?


9) Can the BW tier be scaled to accommodate a significant increase in demand of concurrent users and usage?
