20.000 Students currently enrolled. About 5.000 graduations/deregistrations/ year. After 2 years student records will be partly archived: 20.000 + 2* 5.000 records.

40.000 applicants / year. Applicant records are deleted or archived 1 year after the academic year so that applicant records for 2 admission cycles would be in the system.

Total number of partly archived student records

2 years after graduation/deregistration the student record is partly archived. After 10 years the remaining record will be archived: 10 years * 5.000 records / year

Average amount of admission applications created in peak time

During the module booking peak time, 100 admission applications are entered. This number is related to the length of the peak time below.

The interval between 2pm and 3 pm is considered as the peak time. The length is 1 hour.

A student is a person who is currently enrolled at the university. Total number of student records which are stored in the system. This is the sum of the total number of students enrolled at a given point in time and the number of students that have graduated or deregistered, but none of their data has been archived yet. (The usual practice is to partly archive student records about 2 years after graduation or deregistration.)

A person who is applying for admission at a university. Enter the total number applicants records which are stored in the system. If you delete /archive all application data after each period so the total number of applicants is the number of applicants for each session.

A person who had study at the university and the student data are partly archived.Enter the total number of alumni whose data are held in the system before they are completely achived or deleted.

A person who is applying for admission at a university. Enter the total number applicants records which are stored in the system. If you delete /archive all application data after each period so the total number of applicants is the number of applicants for each session.

A module booking is a registration at a module (course).

A module booking is a registration to a module (course).

A module is normally a course at a university. A module is a combination of business event types and the associated rules, which can be used in several programs.You use modules to create generic, reusable templates for complex or similar academic events. You can use these templates in study plans and adapt them to individual student requirements.

This includes also academic work transferred from other universities.

Individual work represents a student s academic work such as a thesis or ‟project works that can contribute to her/ his academic work.

Business events are classes or online learning sessions , practicles that can be scheduled and offered so that students can book them and attend them. Each of these events would belong to a event type .

The CPU Sizing is based on peak time. The peak time is time period with the highest system load. When you fill out you must take in mind that the module booking and the creation of application will executed at the same time parallel.

Usually the peak of the module booking process leads to the highest system load and is therefore taken as the basis for CPU sizing. Peak time here is the time interval when most students book their study modules. The experience from one of our pilot customers is that 30% of students book their modules between 2pm and 3pm. Another value is that 5% of the students enrolled for a session do this at peak time on the first day of registration.

This is the amount of study modules which a student takes per session. In Student life cyccle management the module booking of all study modules is done in one step.

Usually the peak of the Attendance tracking for the colleagues and school contributes to the highest system load and is therefore taken as the basis for CPU sizing.Peak time here is the time interval when most of the Instructor sit and do the attendance recording for the student . This becomes a critical entry when the application is running in Schools and universities where there is big number of Instructors and they have to record the attendace daily .

Usually the peak of the online grading for the colleagues and school contributes to the highest system load and is therefore taken as the basis for CPU sizing.Peak time here is the time interval when most of the Instructor sit and do the grade / appraisal recording for the student . This becomes a critical entry when the application is running in Schools and universities where there is big number of Instructors and they have to record the students grading , afetr internal or final exams . If the apprisal template also holds the assignment marks or the lab marks into account then this becomes a frequent activity .

Beside the module booking also the admission application service needs to be considered. Please enter here the number of admission applications that are entered during the peak time for module booking.

Length of peak time. The experience up to now shows that around 30% of module booking of a day is done between 2pm and 3pm. At this time comes the highest load to the system. Enter the length of the peak time.

Notes

Unicode:

The sizing takes only the Student Lifecycle managment module in account. For a complete sizing you must add the sizing for SAP Basis and any other used Software Components.

Campus Management (without SAP-Basis and other Application Components)

SAPS for Campus Management (without SAP-Basis and other Application Components)

The sizing takes only the application component Student lifecycle management in account. To get the sizing values of the other component you can use the quicksizer.You must add the disk sizing value. Add Student lifecycle management SAPS to the value from the quicksizer when the peak times overlap otherwise use the higher value.

->>Quicksizer

When you use Unicode Systems you must increase this value. Information can be found under http://service.sap.com/sizing -> Media Library
