BW Database Analyzer

Due to the huge data growth especially in SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse it is essential to archive on a regular basis. The BW Database Analyzer assists you with the planning and realization of your SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse System archiving project.
The BW Database Analyzer determines the memory usage for InfoCubes, DataStore objects and PSA tables in your BW database. You can use all measuring values also for comparison analyses and thus estimate the database growth to be expected for specific InfoProviders. The BW Database Analyzer determines the size of the InfoProviders, consisting of InfoCubes, DataStore objects and PSA tables.
