DCM Disk Space Planning Worksheet | ||
---|---|---|
1. Source Objects | ||
|
||
average source size = __________________ KB | ||
|
||
average number of sources = __________________ objects | ||
|
||
history factor = __________________ (1 or 2) | ||
|
||
source size = average source size x average number of sources x history factor = __________________ KB |
||
|
||
total source size = source size x 1.10 = __________________ KB |
||
2. Product Objects | ||
|
||
average product size = __________________ KB | ||
|
||
average number of products = __________________ |
||
|
||
history factor = __________________ (1 or 2) | ||
|
||
product size = average product size x average number of products x history factor = __________________ KB |
||
|
||
total product size = product size x 1.10 = __________________ KB |
||
3. Tasks | ||
Multiply the number of tasks by
1 KB to estimate the space required for the average number of completed
tasks in a transfer. |
||
total task size = number of tasks x 1 KB = __________________ KB |
||
4. Folders | ||
If folders are being transferred,
assume that a folder with 50 tasks requires 1 KB of disk space. Divide
the number of tasks by 50 and multiply by 1 KB to estimate the space
required for the average number of folders in a transfer. Note: Query-based
folders increase in size over time. Consider this information in your
estimate.
|
||
total folder size = number of tasks / 50 x 1 KB = __________________ KB |
||
5. Projects and Dependencies | ||
|
||
|
||
export directory 1 size + export directory 2 size + ![]() __________________ KB |
||
6. Total size | ||
Compute the total disk space required. | ||
total size = total source size + total product size + total task size + total folder size + |
__________________ KB |
|
7. Total generate directory size | ||
For the generate_directory,
allocate at least 2.5 times the total size computed in Step 6. |
||
total generate_directory size
= |
total size (Step 6) x 2.5 __________________ KB |
|
If one transfer package is sent right after another (that is, if the transfers are queued), space must be allocated for each transfer package. Also, keep in mind that a failed transfer operation requires more disk space than a successful one. | ||
8. Total receive directory size | ||
For the receive_directory,
allocate at least 2.0 times the total size computed in Step 6. |
||
total receive_directory size
= |
total size (Step 6) x 2.0 __________________ KB |
|
If one transfer package is received
right after another (that is, if the receives are queued), disk space
must be allocated for each transfer package. Also, keep in mind that
a failed receive operation requires more disk space than a successful
one. |
