What’s happening?
The customer inquired about the estimation of specifications for the production environment, specifically whether the number of licenses and transaction volume are both considered in the sizing process. There were conflicting reports indicating that only the contracted number of licenses is taken into account.
 

Reason:
The sizing of the production environment is determined based on the number of purchased licenses (user count) and the transaction volume. However, there are indications that the specifics of how user types are factored into this calculation may not be publicly disclosed.
 

Resolution:

  • It was confirmed that the specifications for the production environment are determined based on the number of purchased licenses (user count) and the transaction volume.
  • For further details regarding the sizing process and considerations, refer to the following documentation:
