Estimating RAM Usage for WebFOCUS Visual Discovery Server AE

WebFOCUS Visual Discovery Server AE generally requires the same amount of RAM to open the first session of a project as WebFOCUS Visual Discovery Workbench AE. Additional concurrent sessions share the data pool and typically increase the RAM required by 15-30% (depending on the type and number of charts in the published project). Therefore the example project cited above might require 2 GB to support 10 concurrent sessions (550 MB + 9 * 150 MB).
