HEC: BO BI and DS on SAP ASE

[Former Member]

Hi all,

we are going to install BO BI and DS on SAP ASE for a HEC customer.

TIpical SAP ASE installation on HEC is using sapinst. It install ASE with a 16KB page.

We have just seen on BO BI documentation that the recommended ASE page should be 8KB for BI (Extra requirements for
Sybase ASE http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sbo41/en/smp/sbo41sp3_bip_inst_unix_en.pdf)

Is there anyone that can help us to understand whether we can maintain 16KB or change it to 8KB? Is the same requirement needed for DS?

Thank you and regards

Maurizio

Hi,

more is always good. I cannot speak for ASE but i had the same situation once upon a time with DB2. Here we require a 4 KB page size and the customer configured a 8 KB page size. Everything went smooth here.

So i think you can go with this setting for both repositories, BI and DS.

Thanks Sebastian.

Could I ask you whether I need to install the Information Steward on the DS platform even though the customer is planning to work with flat file, downloading them using DS?

AFAIK Information Steward is usually used for Data Quality and so on..

Hello,

when i understand your scenario correct you "only" want to load flatfiles with DS for your ETL. In this case, you dont need Information Steward.
