Sizing for the Reporting Database Host Server

BusinessObjects Enterprise reports for CA Data Protection are generated from tables in the CA Data Protection data warehouse.

The BOXI server does not host the data warehouse. Sizing requirements for the data warehouse are separate and depend on query complexity, database size (the number of raw data rows), and the frequency of the reporting queries. Therefore, we do not consider the SAP T-shirt sizing estimates for the data warehouse to be reliable.

In the current CA Data Protection release, the data warehouse tables are installed in the CA Data Protection CMS database. As a general rule, the host server supporting the CA Data Protection CMS and the data warehouse must be significantly more powerful than the BOXI server. This is because the database queries are the heaviest part of the workload.
