Live Cache Sizing - Apo Quicksizer Questionnaire

APO QuickSizer Questionnaire

Demand Planning

Q1: The Total number of characteristic combinations is the number of values of each combination multiplied. For example, a company plans 800 Products across 12 plants to serve 20 customer locations. Then the number of characteristic combinations would be 800*12*20 = 19,200. If there are multiple cubes used in addition, the total is the sum of Characteristic combinations for each InfoCube.

Q2: Total number of key figures is the sum of the key figures identified in each InfoCube used in planning.

Q2a: Number of key figures stored in liveCache (in percent of question Q2) is the sum of the key figures kept in liveCache

Q3: Compression index Either a 'Compression index' can be specified or the number of compressed time series (in percent) and the number of periods can be specified in the compressed time series. A compression index of 0 means that all time series are not stored in compressed form and the maximum main memory requirement is calculated. A compression index of 10 means that 90% of the time series are stored in compressed form. A compression index of 5 is preset. This corresponds to a compression rate which we have observed with many customers.

Q3a: Number of compressed timeseries (in Percent)

Q3b: Number of timebuckets in compressed timeseries

If the number of compressed time series and the number of periods in the compressed time series is known, these values can be entered in the fields provided. This entry is optional. Either the compression index or values in the two fields. the number of compressed time series in percent and the number of periods in the compressed time series must be entered.

Q4: Total number of periods in planning horizon is
