PBS Database Analyzer PLUS

Effective utility to evaluate and monitor important database parameters and support data archiving projects. Two different analysis options can be used:

Database Capacity Analysis Analyze table size and space occupation in the database, grouped by SAP

archiving objects. Various result evaluation options (overview, dedicated details, correlation to PBS add-on modules. Run periodically for growth rates. Supports: Oracle, MS-SQL, Informix, MaxDB, DB2, AS400.

Document Distribution Analysis

Analyze the document distribution for FI, SD, MM, CO, PP, PM, PR data for example by fiscal year, company code, document type, document numbers. Various result evaluation options.

PBS BW Database Analyzer

Effective utility to evaluate and monitor important BW database parameters and support nearline storage / archiving projects. All BW InfoProviders are evaluated.

BW Database Capacity Analysis

Analyze the data amount and space occupation in the database for BW InfoProviders and generate a hitlist (largest InfoProviders). Run

periodically for growth rates. Supports: Oracle,

MS-SQL, Informix, MaxDB, DB2, AS400.

Data Distribution Analysis

Analyze the data distribution for all BW InfoProviders in relation to a previous capacity analysis. Data listed by year/period. Limitation to largest Providers.

Capacity Analysis for SAP BW

Configure an analysis run according to the individual evaluation needs:

InfoProvider selection with limitation option for dedicated Providers and table spaces. Additional selection options for InfoCubes and PSA tables. Restriction to InfoProviders with active

data archiving process (DAP)

Periodic processing allows monitoring of data growth and detection of fastest growing InfoProviders

Capacity Analysis for SAP BW

Comparison analysis: Evaluate different runs to determine data growth and largest growing InfoProviders.
Negative values indicate less data amounts, e.g. due to nearline storage

12

Distribution Analysis for SAP BW

Evaluate data distribution for InfoProviders either reference to a previous capacity

analysis run, or by entering dedicated Info

Providers which are to be analyzed.

Prioritize time characteristics Additional user defined characteristics for

individual priority/sort criteria
