Capacity Page in System Configuration Wizard
When you use the System Configuration Wizard from CMC to add new Adaptive Processing Servers (APSs), you have to use a predefined deployment template in the Capacity page.
- Reasons for Changing from the Default Deployment Size:
The following are considerations when deploying SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 2025:
The default small deployment is good only for a demo environment on limited hardware.
You can choose a preset deployment template to match your hardware and use cases.
Although the template helps with the initial configuration, it doesn't replace system sizing and configuration efforts.
The default installation of SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 2025 configures a small deployment that is good for a demo environment on limited system hardware. To match your hardware and wanted use case (for example, preparing a test system or production system), choose one of the preset deployment templates from the Capacity view in System Configuration Wizard. These templates are meant to help the SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 2025 system up and running quickly, and to shorten the initial deployment time.
- Considerations When Choosing a Template:
The request handling capacity of your system affects the size of the deployment template that you select.
Choosing a large deployment doesn't guarantee better performance.
The deployment template matches your business needs and your available hardware resources.
Larger deployment templates give a good grouping of services.
Choosing a proper deployment template is important for several reasons:
The request handling capacity of your system affects the deployment template that you select. A larger deployment gives capacity to handle more requests or more complex requests. However, a larger deployment needs more system resources.
Choosing a large deployment doesn't guarantee better performance, especially when you don't have enough hardware resources.
The deployment template matches your business needs and your available hardware resources. If you choose a deployment template that is too small for your business needs, or too large for the available hardware resources, the system will suffer reduced capacity and performance.
Larger deployment templates give a good grouping of services. Failures in one product are unlikely to affect other products. Choose a template that balances resource (RAM) usage and performance. For example, if a large amount of RAM is available, you want to pick the deployment template that your RAM allows. This template will result in a good system grouping of services.
Several types of predefined deployment templates are proposed in the Capacity page. These deployment templates are like a tee-shirt size and correspond to the size of your SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 2025 deployment in your SAP landscape (development, quality, production).
- Types of Deployment Template:
The following types of deployment templates are available:
XS: This extra small deployment is used as a demo system. The XS template is an extra small deployment. This deployment needs 6–8 GB of RAM, 8 GB of Host RAM, and uses 1 APS.
S: This small deployment is used as a development system. The S template is a small deployment template. This deployment needs 12–16 GB of RAM, 16 GB of Host RAM, and uses 4 APSs.
M: The medium deployment is used as a test or small production system. The M template is a medium deployment template. This deployment needs 15–25 GB of RAM, 16–32 GB of Host RAM, and uses 7 APSs.
L: This large deployment is used as a production system. The L template is a large deployment template. This deployment needs 30–45 GB of RAM, 32–48 GB of Host RAM, and uses 9 APSs.
XL: This extra large deployment is used as a large production system. The XL template is an extra large deployment template. This deployment needs 40–60 GB of RAM, 48–64+ GB of Host RAM, and uses 11 APSs.
