Hi.

I need help to define the requirements of a computer (processor, memory, HD, etc…) and database sizes I’ll need to process a Natural application with about 6,000,000 LOC.

I also need to know if the repository increases after impacts and measures executions.

I’ll execute lots of impact analyses under this huge application and at least one Extract & Load with Resync per day.

I’m using the version 5.4.1 for Windows.

Thanks a lot.

Please refer to the Installation manual page 62. It will provide you with guidelines regarding space requirements.

As for CPU and RAM, bigger is always better. My suggestion would be 1 GB of RAM, and 30GB of free disk space. For some of the work that I have done, my ASSO is set to 1GB and DATA is set to 2 GB.
