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 . The solution calculates the amount of storage necessary
for processing and creates a report:
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.
