Determining the file Size.

[Srinivasa Raghavan]

Hi friends,

We have developed some web based application that uses 10g DB as well as OAS 10g. I need to tell the System admin & the operations guys about the size required by the database & the OAS like size of file systems & disk space ..
How can i estimate it ?
Tell me any possible way .....

Srini,
For the database side, you need to figure out how much data you will have. Also, add to that for indexes and caching.

For the application server side, you need to figure out how big an ear file will be and how many you want to keep around. If you use files or deployments scripts add those in. You will also want extra memory there.

For both, add to whatever you think you'll need. This kind of thing always uses more memory than expected.

Thanks Jeanne
For the DB side Is it enough to calculate the data files size , redo logs , index files & archive file system's size .

Srini,
That's a good list. You have a few that I left out.

I would add to that space for storing execution plans and general space for processing (everything takes memory.)
