This is a short guide that helps you to use Quick Sizer, if you are new to the tool

Note for Unicode:The Quick Sizer results include Unicode requirements. For more information onadditional requirements caused by Unicode, see http://service.sap.com/unicode ->Unicode Media Library -> Unicode information on specific topics: Unicode HardwareRequirements and Customer Experiences

Note for good response times:For good response times choose CPUs with a good single-thread performance, seealso KPI Single Computing Unit performance.

For more details on characteristics and scope of Quick Sizer check the document„Quick Sizer Best Practices“ on the Service Marketplace atwww.service.sap.com/quicksizing -> Using the Quick Sizer -> ExpertsNote that there are two types of upgrade: technical and functional.A technical upgrade is an upgrade from one release to the next higher release of aparticular SAP solution (e.g. SAP R/3 Enterprise SAP ECC 6.0). In this case,significant differences with regard to architecture and functionalities are not expected(performance will not change significantly).Since sizings using Quick Sizer are based on specific scenarios and contain manyassumptions, Quick Sizer is not the appropriate tool to size technical upgrades. It ismuch more accurate to measure the current resource requirements of the system andadding the requirements of the new release. SAP provides upgrade notes withinformation about additional resources for CPU, memory, and disk when upgrading fromone release to another.Functional upgrades are upgrades with significant changes in functionality and/orarchitecture (e.g. SAP CRM 2007 SAP CRM 7.0).Find more details in the document „Quick Sizer Best Practices“ which is located on theSAP Service Marketplace http://www.service.sap.com/sizing -> Quick Sizer Tool ->Using the Quick Sizer -> Experts(http://www.service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000108102008E )

NavigationFlag “Limit User Access“: If you set this flag, you create a „protected“ project, finddetails on one of the following slidesThe exit function takes you back to the start screen.Note: if you use the exit button, changes after the last explicit save (using the “Save”button) or implicit save (changing a questionnaire or calculating results) will not beconsidered.Search function is described on one of the following slidesTo navigate, click on the small arrow. The questionnaire you are currently working on ismarked bulb symbol.

First screen = Project informationOptional hardware infrastructure and contact informationChoose whether you want to see gross or net results on project, solutions, and softwarecomponent result level (“New System / System Extension”). This choice will be savedfor the project. Per default, gross results are displayed for 'New SAP BusinessSolution/Software Component' (with minimal offsets).Information only: input on this questionnaire has no influence on calculation

Sizing questionnairesSAP Business Suite: CRM, ERP, SCM, SRM, PLM, GTSSAP BusinessObjects Portfolio: Find links to all SAP BusinessObjects sizing guidelinesavailable on the SAP Service MarketplaceIndustry Solutions: For example, SAP for Banking, SAP for Insurance, SAP for UtilitiesSAP NetWeaver: For example, Portal & KMC, Business Warehouse, ProcessIntegration, Application Server, NetWeaver Standalone Engines, Solution Manager

The search function is version dependent, which means that it is available afteryou have opened a project. The search takes place within the version of theproject you have opened and within the current Quick Sizer version.Parts of the navigation tree which are not found in the project version but in thecurrent Quick Sizer version will be presented with a (New) at the beginning.You cannot access these elements directly by clicking on them. To access theseelements you have to open a project with the current Quick Sizer version.To access elements that are available in the project version click on them in thenavigation tree.

If you check the flag “Match whole word”, words which only consist of thesearched word are displayed. For example, if you enter “HR” without theflag, you also get “… synchronized …” in your search results. If you checkthe flag “Match whole word”, these kind of results will not be displayed.

You can also choose between “Phrase”, “Or” or “And”:If you choose “Phrase”, you only get the results which contain theexact search string. For example, if your search string is “Sales &Service”, you get results such as “Sales & Service”.If you choose “Or”, you get all results which contain one or more wordsof your search string. For example, if you search for “Sales Service”you get all results which contain either sales or service or both.If you choose “”And”, you only get the results which contain all yoursearch strings. For example, if you search for “Sales Service”, youonly get the results which contain both words.

MethodLimit entry screen to user sizing, throughput sizing only or both, if display mode ischosen, otherwise method is inactive

The basic layout of the questionnaires is the same:3a: Questionnaire-wide information

We distinguish between two types of sizing: user (3b) and throughput (3c)Most questionnaires contain both, some only one or the otherEach sizing method calculates a completely separate sizing result

Sizing elements can be business objects, scenarios, defined entities relevant for sizing.On mouse over will display the long text.

Choosing Calculate result at questionnaire level gets you to the result for the entiresizing projectOption for gross or net result display for the result levels project, solutions and softwarecomponents (“New System / System Extension”); for details see one of the followingslidesTwo independent sizing results: User sizing & Throughput sizingTwo result tabs are displayed: classic approach and combined approach; for details seeone of the following slidesOption “With charts” to show different graphics of results per timeOption „Details“ to show table of time slotsThere are different levels or views available, if you choose “Result level” you can selectfrom the list.CPU result for throughput-based sizings is calculated for an average target utilization of65 %.For more information about Single Computing Unit performance, check slide ‚SizingResults – Single Computing Unit Performance‘ and Quick Sizer tool documentation(Online help)

There are different levels or views available, if you choose “Result level” you canselect from the list.

Project: Overall sizing resultSAP solution: For each solution, for example: SAP ERP, SAP for UtilitiesSoftware component: Different solutions may use the same softwarecomponent, for example SAP for Insurance uses Enterprise Core Component(ECC) like SAP ERP does.Key capability: Helpful, if you want to distinguish results from Financials, HumanCapital Mgmt. etc. in SAP ERP.Sizing element: For each sizing element. Sometimes, one sizing element mayhave several input lines. Then this is the aggregated information.Line results + inputs: shows all inputs and results for each input line.Results, statistics, inputs: Shows all levels of results, additionally: statistics fortables

There are two different displays of the results, the classic and thecombined approach, find details on the following slide.

NoteThis is valid for all SAP solutions where the categories are not defined in another way.It is possible to ‚overrule‘ this categorization for certain SAP solutions. Currently, this isonly done for SAP NetWeaver BW; find details on next slide

Aggregation is done the following way: the categories are calculated with thesmallest numbers of all solutions. For example, if there are only sizings of SAPsolution SAP NetWeaver BW (4 TB disk space), on project level the category willbe calculated using BW logic: category L. If there is besides SAP solution SAPNetWeaver BW (4 TB disk space) also the SAP solution CRM (100 GB diskspace), aggregation is done using CRM logic, because there are the smallernumbers: category XXXL on project level.
