66 J.D. Edwards’ OneWorld B73.3 and Windows Terminal Server
You can specify different packages by users when necessary while taking
advantage of the reduced setup effort offered by group preferences.
This section describes the different ways to use the User Profile applications.
When setting up profiles perform the following:
Create all group profiles for the enterprise.
Create a user profile for every user, and (optional) assign a group profile and
display preference to each user.
Assign to each group or user the following preferences:
Packages available to each group or user
Environments available to each group or user
Note: During User Deployment, sign on to the deployment environment
(DEPB732) on your deployment server.
5.6 Requests for Sizing
The purpose of this section is to describe the current approach for doing
pre-sales sizing for the J.D. Edwards’ OneWorld application suite running on IBM
server platforms. We will start by discussing the performance characterization
testing that has been done to date, describe how this data is being used to do
pre-sales sizing, and then discuss configuration issues for the IBM Netfinity
Platform.
We will then discuss how a sizing request is created and then discuss a typical
sizing response from IBM.
This information is taken from the

Sizing and Configuration Guidelines for J.D.

Edwards OneWorld Software on IBM Platforms - Version 5.3.

This document was
developed by the IBM-JDE Competency Center.

5.6.1 The Sizing Process

In the event you or your customer need assistance in sizing an IBM Netfinity
server for J.D. Edwards’ OneWorld, the IBM/ERP Presales group is available to
provide worldwide sales and sizing support. The IBM/ERP Presales group only
size systems (for example, Netfinity, RS/6000, and AS/400) to run OneWorld or
OneWorld coexistence with WorldSoftware. The IBM/ERP Presales group can be
contacted at 1-800-IBM-0222 or via e-mail: ibmerp@us.ibm.com.
