Planning for capacity

About this task

To plan the capacity requirements for storing documents in your environment, you must consider the following factors:
  • Temporary spaces for loading reports and printing documents
  • Cache (short-term) storage for documents
  • Archive (long-term) storage for documents
  • Application group data tables
  • Backup and recovery procedures

For details, examples, and worksheets to help you estimate the amount of storage needed to support your environment, see the IBM® Content Manager OnDemand for z/OS®: Introduction and Planning Guide.

Physically separating program directories, staging areas, temporary spaces, cache storage, and archive storage on to different disk drives and controllers will improve performance and the time that it takes to recover from problems.
