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:

When
you click
Estimate Resources Optim calculates the amount of storage necessary
for this Load process and creates a Resource Estimation Report:

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.
