Hardware requirements to accommodate new modules/users.

[system]

Web Intelligence and Broadcast Agent on the same server or on different servers. And what is the best practice to follow?

Depends when the scheduled documents will run: during the day or mostly/only during off-hours?

2. What hardware configuration we need for 100 concurrent users in web intelligence?

Depends on what kind of documents they are going to refresh: Full Client documents versus WebI documents. Would you consider switching server OS from Windows server to Unix?

3. How to simulate load test in Business Objects?

Any load testing tool such as loadrunner etc. should do.

4. We have one supervisor license. Do we need more licenses? (We have one General Supervisor, planning to create Four Supervisor’s to manage their group)

Depends on your licensing agreement: Usually, every person who is using Supervisor will need his/her own supervisor license to be legal, even if all persons share the same Business Objects Supervisor ID (which would be bad pratice anyway). The same holds true for Designer.

The best person to ask is your company’s attorney/counsel and the Business Objects Sales representative.

Even though this is an old thread regarding hardware requirements, you could have just re-opened/revived this old thread
