BOXI Sizing Guidelines

It is difficult to estimate BOXI sizing requirements in advance. We strongly recommend that you run pilot tests to determine the likely levels of BOXI report usage before you make final sizing estimates. User take-up can vary greatly between customers, and not all iConsole users will run BOXI reports.

SAP use two methods to estimate BOXI sizing requirements:

• T-shirt Sizing gives a rough initial size based solely on the number of BusinessObjects users, not the workload.
• Expert Sizing is based on monitoring an existing workload or predicting a future workload (which is particularly difficult for ad-hoc reporting).
