Capacity Planning Checklist

Use the following list as a guide for capacity planning:

1. Estimate the number and type of models and subsets that will be used. Remember that system test subsets will be larger than design or unit test subsets. Also, if you choose to create development models from your production models, they may be smaller than the original production models. This impacts:
   • DMDL
   • DSUBDF
   • DSUBID
   • DSUBEX
2. Estimate the number of users and groups that will be accessing the models and subsets. Identify the functions they will perform. This impacts:
   • DUSR
   • DSUBUS
   • DGRPUS
3. Estimate the average number of subsets that will be checked out at one time. This impacts:
   • DSUBEX
   • DCKOID
   • DCKOHIST
4. Estimate how much descriptive information will be stored. This impacts DTXT.
5. Review the technical requirements for the CSE and obtain the minimum disk space and memory required.
6. If you plan to spread the CSE tables across multiple disks, see Split Files Across Multiple Physical Drives.
