Upgrade sizing question

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am trying to estimate the database's monthly growth after upgrade from ERP 4.6 to ECC 6.0.

For example, currently, I see that the Database grows by 1 Gb per month.

Can I assume this is the same growth level per month after the upgrade?

I've read the notes on the full increase in database size, and I am ok with that. But that doesn't answer my question. I don't think I use the same percentages from the notes.

Also, I don't see the monthly growth listed in the quicksizer.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Doug

Hello Doug,

The increase of the database in a month is very difficult question. Because, this depends on the number of users, components that you use in ECC 6.0 and the type of business you run.

The initial database size for ECC 6.0 will be obvisouly more almost double when you compare to ERP 4.6. So, you can expect the same amount of growth with a little additional in ECC 6.0.

Hope it helps.

Cheers,

Satish.

Thanks Satish.

Does anyone have any experience with this? After an upgrade, was the monthly growth significantly different than before the upgrade?

After upgrading from a 4.6C (MDMP) system to a 6.0 (Unicode) system our database growth rate just about doubled. The database itself increased by about 60% with the upgrade. This is mostly due to the switch to Unicode.
