Resource Estimation

The Optim™ solutions can calculate the storage needed to process a load request. This information can be valuable in scheduling the process, or selecting options to use. The resource estimator provides a report with storage estimates for each object processed in a load request. The resource estimator must be run on the server or workstation where the source file is located. Generally, you might want to run the resource estimator offline or during nonproduction times to prevent possible resource contention issues.

To estimate resources needed to run a load request, open the Load Request Editor and click Tools > Estimate Resources. The solution calculates the amount of storage necessary for processing and creates a report:

Resource Estimation Report, described in the following text.
The first section of the report shows the type of request, source file, elapsed time, and other details as in the Load Process Report. For complete information, see Load Process Report. The Resource Estimation Analysis section includes:
Status
Status of storage estimated for this object in the Load request:
Passed
There is sufficient storage available to load this object.
Failed
There is not sufficient storage available to load this object. If the first object in the load fails, there is currently insufficient storage. If a succeeding object fails, there is insufficient storage to process the object after processing the preceding objects.
Estimated Storage (K)
Amount of storage needed to load this object.
Resource Name
Fully qualified name of the object to be loaded.
