You can create a PPM client using PPM Customizing Toolkit version 10.4.
Prerequisite
The PPM infrastructure is started.
Procedure
Small - Optimized configuration for server systems with at least 1 GB available main memory for import programs.
Medium - Optimized configuration for server systems with at least 4 GB available main memory for import programs.
Large - Optimized configuration for server systems with at least 8 GB available main memory for import programs.
Select an import scenario to set the memory settings of the programs. Depending on your selection, the programs runxmlimport, runppmimport, runpikidata, and runppmcompress automatically take the appropriate memory settings from the _vmparam.bat file and the corresponding import settings from the EpkImport_settings.properties file.
If you have adapted the values in a previous version or if you want to set other settings, you can edit the _vmparam.bat file in the directory <PPM_CURRENT_DATA>/config/<client>/bin and the EPKImport_settings.properties file in the directory <PPM_CURRENT_DATA>/config/<client>.
If you want to specify additional VM options, please edit the following parameters in the _vmparam.bat file:
LOCAL_PPM5_VM_OTHERS_RT_XMLIMPORT
LOCAL_PPM5_VM_OTHERS_RT_PPMIMPORT
LOCAL_PPM5_VM_OTHERS_RT_PIKIDATA
LOCAL_PPM5_VM_OTHERS_RT_PPMCOMPRESS
Further details about import scenarios can be found in the PPM Data Import.pdf.
If the old value is larger, transfer it to the settings of the new client.
If the old value is smaller, remember the difference between the old and the new value and close the Additional settings dialog. Increase the main memory for the analysis server by this difference multiplied by 1.1. Enter the rounded value, that is with no decimal places.
A new client is created with the name you specified (<client>).
The following directories are created in the data directory of the PPM 10.4 installation.
<PPM_CURRENT_DATA>/config/<client> contains the configuration files for the new client.
<PPM_CURRENT_DATA>/custom/<client> contains the customizing for the new client.
