Resource Estimation

Optim™ is able to calculate the storage needed to process a Load Request. This information can be valuable in determining when to run the load, or what options to use. The Resource Estimator creates a report with storage estimates for each object in a Load Request. The Resource Estimator must be run on the same machine where the input file for the Load Request is located.

To estimate resources for a Load Request, open the Load Request Editor and click Tools to display these options:
Load request editor tools menu, described below
When you click Estimate Resources Optim calculates the amount of storage necessary for this Load process and creates a Resource Estimation Report:
resource estimation report, described below
The first section of the Resource Estimation Report shows the type of request, source file, elapsed time, and other details as in the Load Process Report. For complete information, see Load Process Report. The Resource Estimation Analysis section includes the following:
Status
Status of storage estimated for this object in the Load request:
Passed
There is sufficient storage available to load this object.
Failed
There is not sufficient storage available to load this object. If this is the first object in the load request, there is currently insufficient storage. If this is not the first object in the load request, there is insufficient storage to load this object after loading the objects that precede this object in the load request.
Estimated Storage (K)
Amount of storage needed to load this object.
Resource Name
Fully-qualified name of the object to be loaded.
