New to BOBJ - help tweak my server setup

[system]

Hey guys,

My company is in “pre-production” mode with our BOBJ rollout. That is, we’re getting everything setup. We’re finding things to be a bit slow on a single server and we’re not even up and running yet. I was hoping I could layout our current setup and components as well as the components we plan to use and perhaps get some feedback on the optimal setup.

[list]
Users:
10 named users
10 concurrent users
Total 20 users max
[/list]
[list]
Software:
BOBJ Platform 4.0
BOBJ Data Services 4.0
BOBJ Explorer 4.0
Crystal Reports Enterprise (not yet installed)
Dashboard (not yet installed)
[/list]
[list]
Current System:
Quad Intel Xeon 2.33GHz processors
16 GB ram
Windows 2008 Server 64bit
[/list]

Any thoughts? How many servers should I spread this across and which components should be located on different servers?

Thanks!

Hi has anyone worked out the best way to split out the servers from the vanilla install AdaptiveJobServer and AdaptiveProcessingServer, between the Intelligence Tier and Processing Tier, on BO4. The admin, server sizing and server sizing companion guide get you 75% of the way there but I’m left feeling that I haven’t quite got it right. Thanks Jen jennypenny (BOB member since 2011-06-28)

Hi, We have a requirement of building 25 simple WEBI reports which should be presented to the end users using BO SDK with BO security authentication and also the report queries should be exposed as a web service using QAAWS. The main usage of reports is via BO SDK route and very less usage via QAAWS. The auditing need be enabled for all the reports. There is absolutely no requirements to use the infoview portal for viewing the reports. Considering all this we are planning to set up environment …

Hello All, We are working on a RFP for a client and will be conducting a sizing activity for hardware procurement. They already have BO XI 3.1 premium procured but nothing has been installed/deployed yet. Currently the only requirements we have is that they would have 200 concurrent users for BOBJ. The BOBJ will be sitting over SAB BI (BW) 7.0. We would setup Webi, Xcelsius, Dashboard Builder and maybe even Crystal or Voyager. Based on this we have to give them a high level estimate for hardwa…

hope this helps!

I would recommend to use the quick sizer to come up with proper numbers and hire a consultant who has experience in doing such activities.

The number of active concurrent sessions is only one of the factors to decide the sizing. There are other factors like the client tools (webi, crystal) to be used… How many reports, dashboards, analysis spaces, exploration views? Complexity of the reports? Data volume? Types of data sources? Future growth? Scheduling? Retention of instances?

And it is not limited to the above…

AED,

we have the same configuration. we’ve just gone live with BO 4.0

future configuaration considerations

1. breaking out APS for specific services. (wasn’t required for current usage)
2. session management: concurrent sessions stay open to long, and multiple session per user are consuming concurrent lic. (immediate requirement)

i don’t have answers yet, but we should discuss and learn from each other.

take care,
Fred
