We have a very new Enterprise XI 3.1 setup on a Windows Server 2003 system with SQL Server 2005 repository and databases. We do not run Performance Management or Predictive Analysis modules, and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to shut off the BOBJ servers which seem to be specific to those modules:
PMMetricsServer
PMRepositoryServer
PMRulesServer
PredictiveAnalysisServer
We're looking to see if we can get a few extra bits of performance by shutting these down. What we don't want, however, is anything else to be affected by these. We use
Web Intelligence serving up inline WebI and Crystal reports (Crystal output distributed as Excel docs)
Desktop Intelligence
Xcelsius 2008-produced dashboards (some accessible through WebI/InfoView)
Widgets
QaaWS
MobI
We have had a few issues lately, and things are really sensitive right now--any downtime is extremely frowned upon. We'd test on our dev environment, but it is down at the moment due to other issues.
Any thoughts on this? Would we be OK shutting down the above-named servers?
Thanks!
