You can use various methods to estimate and
control the performance of your IBM® Cognos® Mobile environment.
Estimate the bandwidth required by IBM Cognos Mobile
IBM Cognos Mobile sends compressed
versions of reports from the server to the mobile device. The size
of a compressed report might range from 2 KB for a single-page report
that contains text and a crosstab, up to possibly 500 KB for a 10-page
report that contains multiple detailed charts on every page.
Estimate the required number of servers
The load generated by one user using IBM Cognos Mobile
on a server (dispatcher) is similar to the load generated by the same
user using the IBM Cognos desktop products.
Estimating the size of a report
You can use typical reports to determine the
size of the content that is transferred over the wireless carrier's
network to the mobile device.
