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, ) INSIGHT ERP Release Infrastructure Capacity Analysis Extrapolation Baseline > > Growth Profile > Projected Capacity OTHER Business Volumes
What is Insight? The IBM Insight utility programs and their subsequent analysis process and reports are designed to provide a high level and convenient workload analysis for an inproduction system complex. Both tools are provided FREE of charge to IBM customers and potential customers worldwide

IBM Insight for mysap ERP How to Obtain the tool How to Install and Configure Overview of Insight for mysap ERP Report
Introduction Minimally invasive 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 Users Insight Collector Data Collector looks like a user Runs on Win (e.g., PC) Runs 1-3 days Minimally invasive Minimal Overhead App DB App Collects from any SAP hardware platform e.g. - System P - System Z - System I - System X -All Competitive Platforms (e.g. HP, Sun, etc.) Data
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
Insight or Early Watch? SAP EarlyWatch Available to everyone Slow sample rate statistically challenged Good at (SAP+OS) parameter analysis IBM Insight for mysap ERP IBM unique Good sample rate statistically better Good at server/workload analysis

Size of the Insight mysap ERP tool? 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
