Summary :
In SAP NetWeaver Release 2004s, creating a BI Accelerator (BIA) index for InfoCubes in the BI 7.0 component enhances query performance. Additional hardware with installed BIA software, connected to the BI system, is required. Pre-upgrade sizing for BI 7.0 can be done in SAP BW Releases 3.0 to 3.5 using programs ZZ_BIAMEMCONSUMPTION_BW3X and ZZ_BIAMEMCONSUMPTION_BW3X_SUB. These programs assess potential memory consumption by the BIA index, offering various analysis options, including detailed, sample, and quick estimations. Such preemptive sizing guides efficient hardware provisioning by estimating BIA index memory needs compared to InfoCube data on the database.
