Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Performance and Sizing
Third-party components, such as databases and operating systems, are supported at the minor level, unless a different minimum level is specified. Future maintenance and patch releases (including fix packs or service packs) on the same minor release are expected to be supported, unless a conflict specific to that release arises.
ITBA is made up of various components, such as Data Warehouse and BA. SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise is optional.
Before Sizing your ITBA Product
Consider the below factors for sizing your ITBA product:
- Number of concurrent users. The number of users currently logged in the system.
- Instances of data source. The number of instances of data source you are going to activate in the ITBA application.
-
Source Data Volume. The source data volume determines the free disk requirement of the Vertica database. It is the size of the data that needs to be analyzed, not the total data volume of the data source. You can roughly estimate the free disk space of each node with the below formula:
Free disk space = 5 * [data volume of all source data]Vertica recommendation is that the minimum free disk space is 1 TB each node. In most cases, 1 TB free disk in Vertica database is large enough for out-of-the-box data sources.
-
Number of Vertica Nodes. The ITBA application server does not support high availability, but Vertica does.
- To use the high availability of Vertica database, it is recommended to setup the Vertica cluster with at least 3 nodes and set Ksafe=1.
- If the data volume of all data sources is more than 200 GB, it is recommended to setup the Vertica cluster with 3 nodes.
Configurations and Sizing
You can install Business Analytics using one of the configurations explained below. Sizing information is available for each configuration.

Application Server Sizing
Server Item Minimum Requirements
(< 3 data source instances<= 50 concurrent users)
Recommended Requirements
(>= 3 data sourceinstances
50-300 concurrent users)
Business Analytics Server RAM 12 GB 16 GB Free disk space 80 GB 150 GB Processor 4 Cores 8 Cores Required Ports - ports: 10001 to 10010, 11020, 11021
- HTTP default port: 8080.
- HTPPS default port 8443.
You can select non-default HTTP and HTTPS ports during post install
Note
- The number of concurrent users is not limited to 300. If there are more than 300 concurrent users, the response time of some of the UI operations might be slower.

When you evaluate the source data volume, take into consideration the future data growth. For example, if the current source data volume is 20 GB, and the data growth each year is 5 GB, over the next 3 years, the total source data volume will be about 20 + 5*3= 35 GB.
- ITBA provides a Vertica license with 1 TB raw data size restriction. For details about raw data size, see Vertica Administration Guide.
BOE Server Sizing
You need one additional separate BOE server if you need to connect to BOE for reports. In such a case, setup the BOE server with the following settings:
| Application Server |
Item |
Minimum Requirements |
Recommended |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAP® BusinessObjects Enterprise server | RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| Free disk space | 80 GB | 80 GB | |
| Processor | 4 Cores | 4 Cores | |
| Required Ports |
