Infrastructure refresh planned

Defining “upgrading” and the upgrade process.

� From an ERP point of view, an upgrade is equivalent to a release

change. From a hardware vendor point of view, an upgrade may be

a release change or may be the need for additional system resources (capacity planning).

� The additional resources required are driven by either

– Application releases (new functionality,…)

– Capacity requirements (business volume growth,…)

� Based on SAPOSCOL

� No Transports are required in SAP

� IBM added value to customers through years of experience and infrastructure knowledge.

Overview

IBM Insight for mySAP ERP is a FREE service offering that provides

customers with a report detailing the workload and utilization

of their production SAP system.

Insight is a set of three Microsoft Windows programs:

�Insight Collector - captures R/3 workload and OS utilization statistics.

�Insight Reducer - gathers information, verifies and compresses data set.

�Insight Reporter - generates the Insight report (run by Techline specialist).

The Insight report can be used by Techline in the mySAP sizing

process for existing and potential IBM customers running IBM

or non-IBM hardware.

How Insight for mySAP ERP Works

Data Collector looks like a user

• Runs on Win (e.g., PC)

• Runs 1-3 days

• Minimally invasive

• Minimal Overhead

Collects from any SAP hardware platform e.g.

- System P

- System Z

- System I

- System X

-All Competitive Platforms (e.g. HP, Sun, etc.)

Insight Collector

Competitive Advantages

� Unique in the industry from platform providers

� Provides executive-level entry and discussion material

� Provides customer value (IT Operations Management)

� Runs against all competitive platforms supported by SAP

� Provides data on customer environments and usage

� Ideal starting point for Upgrade Sizings

� Basis for Performance Guarantees

Latest version of the tool is

14 MB in Size

Workflow (Continued)

� Customer installs the tool on a PC running Windows that is LAN attached to the SAP system.

� Tool is run for 1 to 3 days and data is collected.

� Tool is stopped and the data goes through a reduction and compression process. A single ZIPPED file is created.

� Customer sends the data for processing to IBM for processing.

How big is the collected data file ?

� Following variables determine the size of the ZIPPED Insight data file:

– Number of App Servers

– Number of days data is collected for (1-3 days)

– Number of Users on the SAP R/3 system

– Activity on the SAP R/3 system

ANSWER: Any where from 3 MB to few GB

Insight data delivery to IBM

� Email data to IBM (if less than 10MB)

� Burn the data on CD-Rom and use Express mail

� FTP the data to us

� Please contact an IBM rep or BP rep to assist on this
