Software Requirements for Jedox Mobile Touch -6- Further notes: Supervision Server and Jedox SAP Connector don't have additional hardware requirements. Our hardware recommendations are limited to the basic use of our software products. For larger applications, we recommend the splitting of the processes (OLAP, ETL, Web) on several machines (see Jedox web configuration in our setup guide). For more than 500 CC, we ask for prior consultation of one of our experienced consultants. Please refer also to our Jedox OLAP Accelerator Factsheet, which can be downloaded from our website. The Jedox OLAP Accelerator can utilize CUDA-capable NVIDIA graphics cards as massively parallel co-processors for speeding up OLAP aggregations. Thus Jedox applications may achieve significant performance improvements. Jedox products also support virtual platforms, however, compared with a real hardware constellation, performance degradation can occur. The difference in performance must be checked in each individual case, since this depends on the application and on the given virtual platform. 3 Software Requirements for Jedox Mobile Touch Jedox Mobile Touch is supported on iphones and ipads with ios 6 or higher and on stock android and Nexus devices with Android 4.3 or higher. 4 Software and Hardware Requirements for Jedox Mobile Ad-Hoc Jedox Mobile Ad-Hoc ios version is supported on all iphones and ipads with ios 6 or higher. Jedox Mobile Ad-Hoc Android version is supported with Android 4.0 or higher and requires a display with at least 10 inches. OpenBI Server is necessary for access to Jedox OLAP Server. OpenBI Server has the following requirements: Hardware Software CPU Dual Core CPU MS Windows Server 2003, 2003 R2, 2008, 2008 R2 RAM 4 GB MS.NET Framework 4.0 Full HD 200 GB

6 Technical Reference 6.1 Information about software programming Jedox Web is written in C++, Java, PHP and JavaScript. Jedox OLAP is written in C++. Jedox ETL (server and client) is written in Java. Jedox Excel Add-In is written in C++ and C#(.NET). Technical Reference -11-6.2 Limits of the Jedox OLAP Server 5.0 The number of objects with ID is limited by a 4 byte long unsigned integer. (This corresponds to 2 ^ 32 = 4,294,967,296 objects). The number of numeric values in a cube is limited to 4.294.967.296. The length of all string values together in a cube is limited to 4.294.967.296 characters (including terminating zeros). The length of all element names together in a dimension is limited to 4.294.967.296 characters (including terminating zeros). Users Number of user groups Number of users Number of users per group Number of groups per user Number of characters in a user name/description Number of characters in a user password Number of characters in a group name/description Number of concurrent connected users Server / database Parameter max value 1) Memory usage for one database (32 bit Windows OS) 2 or 3 GB 2) Memory usage for one database (64 bit Windows OS) >> 64 GB 2) Memory usage for one database (32 bit Linux OS) 4 GB 2) Memory usage for one database (64 bit Linux OS) >> 64 GB 2) Number of databases on one server Number of dimensions in one database Number of cubes in one database 64 K (32 bit) 3) 2^64 (64 bit) 3) 1) The maximum level applies to the sum of individual values as specified at the beginning of this chapter. 2) The data storage needs approximately 10-15 bytes for a numeric value. A sample database with a realistic dimension with 1.3 million elements needs about 305 MB. 3) We recommend a number in the hundreds range.
Technical Reference -12- Parameter max value 1) Cube Number of dimensions in a cube 250 / 27 2) How often can a dimension be used in a cube 1 Number of characters in cube name/description Number of characters in text cells Number of rules in a cube Number of markers in a cube Length of a rule Length of a marker Length of a rule description Number of characters in cell notes Number of values in a cube Dimension Number of elements in one dimension 3) Number of children for one parent Number of parents for one child Number of consolidations in one dimension Number of consolidation levels Number of factors in a consolidation Number of factors in a dimension Number of dimensions Number of characters in dimension name/description Number of characters in element name Sum of the length of element names for a cell address * Subsets Number of elements in a subset Number of stored subsets (public and private) Number of characters in a subset name Attributes Number of attribute tables per database Number of attribute tables per dimension 1 Number of characters in an attribute field Number of characters in a text field of an attribute table Number of fields within an attribute table 1) The maximum level applies to the sum of individual values as specified at the beginning of this chapter. 2) The number is limited by the processing limitations of the PALO.DATA functions. In Excel 2003 there are 27 dimensions possible, in Excel 2007 and later versions are 250 dimensions possible. 3) Tested with 13 million elements. 2^31
