The minimum memory requirement for running Essbase is 64 MB. On UNIX systems, the minimum requirement is 128 MB. Based on the number of applications and databases and the database operations on the server, the memory you require may be greater.
To calculate the memory required for a database:
Calculate the factors identified in Factors to Be Used in Sizing Memory Requirements.
Calculate application memory requirements.
See Estimating Startup Memory Requirements for Applications.
Calculate the memory required for a single database.
See Estimating Startup Memory Requirements for Databases.
If Essbase Server contains multiple databases, perform these calculations for each database.
Calculate the total memory requirement for Essbase Server.
See Estimating the Total Essbase Server Disk Space Requirement.
