BI Accelerator has beensimple to install andoperate for establishedSAP BI teams

You use process chainsto maintain the HPAengine after each dataload

IBM, Sun, HP & Fujitsu have standard solutions ranging from $32K to $250K+that can be installed and tested in as little

as 2-4 weeks (+ SAP license fees)

BIA Currently reads data fromInfoCubes. DSOs & InfoObjects arestill read from base/physical tables(even when the InfoObject is

indexed as part of master data).

Performance - :is Near Linear Benchmarks

BIAs strength resides in itsnear-linear scalability

Performance is measured interms of:1.BI-A index creation time2.Multi-user throughput per hour 3.Average report response time4.Average number of records

touched by each report


5/41

The BIA should be sized for critical applications. Most companies use BIAonly for Production, while others have a complete landscape

A Real Customer Example from September 2008

Environment

6/41

SAP has integrated key sizing parameters for BIA in the new QuickSizer.You can give it a try at: http://service.sap.com/quicksizer

,Sizing is critical but good tools are available to help

Customer with existing BI systems and data loaded can get good sizing estimates by running the SAP program available in SAP Note: 917803


7/41

Currently, the BIA performs aggregation and data selection for thequery, all other processing is done by the OLAP analyticalengine. Not all query processing will be dramatically faster

In the next SAP NetWeaver release the BIA will handle more of the

analytics processing such as top-5 products sales which iscurrently done in the OLAP analytical engine.

SAP BIA is not used when the result set exceeds 3 million records (max.default). When the result set is less, the data is sent as onelarge data package to the application server (need fastnetwork).

How does it work in reality??

, - Many companies have spent 2 5 days in BIA ( - ) training total for 1 2 administrators and a

: work through a single interface RSDDBIAMON (Checks available at: RSRV)

Most customers have found BIA Admin to be minimal

&The training admin to run BI Accelerator

has proven to be.minimal Training is

included in the SAP: ,courses BW310 BW360

and in the online course BW361

9/41

Once you exceed a few hundred critical users and/or 3-4 TB of

data you should seriously consider SAP BIA

BIA is becoming mainstream

BIA is no longer something exotic.

Many of the large BI

systems have alreadyimplemented BIA andmany more projects areunder way in Europe and

in the Americas.
