QlikView Memory Utilisation

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

We recently embarked on a project to MOVE our BI Application to a new Data Centre. Internally within our company there are some discussions going on about how much memory must be allocated to the new platform. Any ideas on the best Memory Allocation based on below, would be very helpful.

Old Platform

In the old platform we were using QlikView 10.0

There was no QlikView Publisher

Only one server was used

This was a physical blade server

Collective QVD size is ~150GB

Collective QVW size is 3GB

Memory utilization is average 80GB (Total allocated is 132GB)

New Platform

In the new platform we use QlikView 11.20

We are also using QlikView Publisher

Two servers. One to host QVS and QVWS and the other to host Publisher.

We are using Virtual Machines

If any more information is needed I'm happy to provide.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Arish, Document Timeout is when untouched applications is flushed out of memory. As soon as someone uses the app the count will restart. Maximum Session timeout is time when an non-active session is shut down, after last session of an app times out the Document timeout starts ticking. The maximum session timeout is intertwined with session timeout in the web server. If the web server has a short timeout the user will be disconnected even with a long maximum session timeout in QlikServer.

Read more under documentation on the different timeout settings:

Hope that this helps
