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,especially for SAP CRM and SAP SRM.

Note 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 systemand adding the requirements of the new release. SAP provides upgrade notes withinformation about additional resources for CPU, memory, and disk when upgradingfrom one 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 onthe SAP 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, find details 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 aquestionnaire or calculating results) will not be considered.Search function is described on one of the following slidesTo navigate, click on the small arrow. The questionnaire you are currently working on is marked bulb symbol.

First screen = Project informationOptional hardware infrastructure and contact informationChoose whether you want to see gross or net results on project, solutions, and software component result level (“New System/ System Extension”). This choice will be saved for 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

The search function is version dependent, which means that it is available after youhave opened a project. The search takes place within the version of the project youhave 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.

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 other

Each sizing method calculates a completely separate sizing result

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

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

Project: Overall sizing result

SAP solution: For each solution, for example: SAP ERP, SAP for Utilities

Software component: Different solutions may use the same software component, for example SAPfor Insurance uses Enterprise Core Component (ECC) like SAP ERP does.

Key capability: Helpful, if you want to distinguish results from Financials, Human Capital Mgmt.etc. in SAP ERP.

Sizing element: For each sizing element. Sometimes, one sizing element may have several inputlines. 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 for tables

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

25

Different charts displayed on result levels

Until Quick Sizer version 21 only throughput-based result charts were displayed.

From December 2010 (Quick Sizer version 22), the classic approach displays peakand average throughput-based charts on result level 'line results + inputs' also for oldQuick Sizer versions retroactively.

Starting with Quick Sizer version 22 there are the following new charts for the classicapproach: the user-based chart for result level 'Key capabilities' and thecorresponding throughput-based and user-based charts for result level 'Sizingelements‘. This is also retroactively valid for older Quick Sizer versions.

Aso starting with Quick Sizer version 22 there are the charts for several result levelsof the combined approach.

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