What Contributes to the Data Size in an Environment?

Data size in a service environment is the sum of the following:

  • Application data stored in Essbase.
  • Artifact snapshot created by the daily maintenance process
  • Snapshots that you created using Migration and EPM Automate.
  • Snapshots that you uploaded using Migration and EPM Automate.
  • Data and metadata files that you uploaded using Migration and EPM Automate.

Note:

Because OCI (Gen 2) environments report the noncompressed size of the maintenance snapshots while Classic environments report the compressed size, a Classic snapshot copied to an OCI (Gen 2) environment will show a larger size.

Daily maintenance snapshots archived in Oracle Object Storage (for OCI) or tape media (for Classic) do not contribute to the total reported application size. These have no size limits.

The Activity Report lists application size information including data size (includes the size of snapshots, and files available in the inbox and outbox), size of Essbase data, and the size of the maintenance snapshot. See Application Design and Runtime Information.
