BEx performance issu

Hi all,
We are working currently on a BI project and I would like to ask a high level performance question.
When the function
- Public Function BexSetData(iValue As Double, iDataProv As String, ParamArray iParam() As Variant)
Is executed, it takes longer then 8 min until the update has been written back to the BW provider. Is the following correct
The performance problem is related to cell references caused by own developed VBA code. The calculated cells are referencing to a lot of different cells and TAB's with different formulas
BW is actually not only saving the data it self, it is saving the references/formatting as well
Do you know any "Best Practice" how to avoid those kind of performance problems
I would appreciate if somebody could give us an idea.
Thank you very much.
Regards Michael

Hi Shanthi,
do you know exactly how the function
Public Function BexSetData(iValue As Double, iDataProv As String, ParamArray iParam() As Variant)
is saving the data to the provider? only the value from the cell or as well references?
Thx a million
Kind regrads

  • Performance Issue Executing a BEx Query in Crystal Report E 4.0

    Dear Forum
    I'm working for a customer with big performance issue Executing a BEx Query in Crystal via transient universe.
    When query is executed directly against BW via RSRT query returns results in under 2 seconds.
    When executed in crystal, without the use of subreports multiple executions (calls to BICS_GET_RESULTS) are seen. Runtimes are as long as 60 seconds.
    The Bex query is based on a multiprovider without ODS.
    The RFC trace shows BICS connection problems, CS as BICS_PROV_GET_INITIAL_STATE takes a lot of time.
    I checked the note 1399816 - Task name - prefix - RSDRP_EXECUTE_AT_QUERY_DISP, and itu2019s not applicable because the customer has the BI 7.01 SP 8 and it has already
                domain RSDR0_TASKNAME_LONG in package RSDRC with the
                description: 'BW Data Manager: Task name - 32 characters', data
                type: CHAR; No. Characters: 32, decimal digits: 0
                data element RSDR0_TASKNAME_LONG in package RSDRC with the
                description 'BW Data Manager: Task name - 32 characters' and the
                previously created domain.
    as described on the message
    Could you suggest me something to check, please?
    Thanks en advance

    Hi,
    It would be great if you would quote the ADAPT and tell the audience when it is targetted for a fix.
    Generally speaking, CR for Enteprise  isn't as performant as WebI,  because uptake was rather slow .. so i'm of the opinion that there is improvements to be gained.   So please work with Support via OSS.
    My onlt recommendations can be :
    - Patch up to P2.12 in bi 4.0
    -  Define more default values on the Bex query variables.
    - Implement this note in the BW 1593802    Performance optimization when loading query views

  • Strange performance issue in bex report

    Hello Experts,
    I have a performance issue on my bex report.
    I'm running the report with below selection criteria and getting 'too much data' error.
    Country :  equals EMEA
    Category: not equlas 13
    Date : 02/2010 to 12/2010.
    But when I ran the report for smaller date ranges the number of records are not exceeding 13000.
    02.2010 - 06.2010 - 6,555 rows
    07.2010 - 09.2010 - 3,671 rows
    10.2010 - 12.2010 - 2,780 rows
    I know excel can't fit more than 65000 records, but I'm expecting 13000 records for my wide date range which excel can easily fit.
    Any ideas on this one will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    For Question 1:
    In query designer Go to the Query properties and select the tab "Variable Sequence", here you can set the order of variables as per you requirement.
    For Question 2:
    There will be a option "Hide Repeated Key values", if you uncheck this option then you will have the values for each row even though the material values are same.
    Note; if you are viewing the report in web or WAD report you need to make the same changes in the Web template also because the settings in the query designer will be overridden when you run the query in web.
    Hope this helps.

  • BEx Analyzer: User ID based performance issue

    Hello Ladies and Gents,
    <b>The issue:</b>
    My BW team just upgraded our system to 2004s and we are experiencing an odd userid based performance issue.  If we run a query from the BEx Analyzer with user ID 'A' it takes about 3min for the variable selection screen to appear. If I log into the same machine user ID 'A' was using on my user ID B the query variable selection screen appears within seconds. What could possibly cause this?
    <b>What we know so far:</b>
    1. Investigated the security roles, seems like that is not the issue.
    2. It is PC client independent.  Two different user IDs(A and B) on the same machine running the same query in the same way (clicking through the BEx browser) produces different response times for the appearance of the variable selection screen. 
    Points will be rewarded and help will be greatly appreciated!

    User specific personalization is retrieved before displaying the input variables. That might be a possibility, but hard to see it making such a difference.  Do you always try the sequence of User A, then User B, or have you confirmed that when you start with User B, it is quick, and tehn slow whne trying User A?
    Probably the best approach is to activate Trace and then logon with User A, turn trace off and print or save, then do the same thing for User B and compare.  The trace will show you all the various SQL stmts and such that run as part of your trying to launch the query.
    Please post back anything you learn.

  • BW BCS cube(0bcs_vc10 ) Report huge performance issue

    Hi Masters,
    I am working out for a solution for BW report developed in 0bcs_vc10 virtual cube.

  • Performance Issue in Dashboard using SAP BW NetWeaver Connection

    HI Experts ,
    We developed Dashboard which is based on BW Queries, However it is taking considerable amount time while executing.
    We are  using BO Dashboard SP2 version ,BO 4.1 and BI system 7.01 .
    We are  looking for few clarifications on SAP BO Xcelsius Dashboards.
    Though we know limitations on component number and data volumes which could badly affect performance of the dashboard, We do have a requirement to handle huge data volumes and multiple components. Our source data lies in SAP BI system and we are using BICS connectivity/ Webi with QAAWS for updating data in BO dashboard .
    Our requirement is too complex where we should be in a position to meet user expectations for complete view 75 KPI’s in a single Dashboard.
    We have scenarios like YTD ,QTD and MTD other complex calculations in Bex Query.
    Here are my questions,
    Is there any way to provide complete functionality using large data sets to the users with the current architecture without any performance issues?
    Are there any third party tools which can be used with BO Dashboard for the performance improvement and handling huge volumes?
    Do you suggest any alternate solution for complete functionality?
    Many thanks for your inputs in advance!
    Regards
    Venkat

    Hi Rajesh,
    Thank you so much for your response.
    I have tried the way you suggested. But here my issue is , I have a prompt in my webi report based on months selection and it is a single valued prompt.
    so I was able to schedule my report only for one month;whereas my dashboard needs to show values for one year data based on the months the user will select in the dashboard.
    Though i use the WebI instance data in the dashboard , i getting only one month value, also I am not able to associate the selected month for the WebI instance in dashboard.
    Is there any option to schedule webI report for different months and the dashboard has to pick the 12 months instance and the combo box selection in the dashboard must associate with it??
    Please help me with your thoughts.

  • Performance issue of BI reports in SAP Enterprise portal

    Dear Friends,
    We have  integrated BI reports with SAP Enterprise portal 7.0.Reports are running properly But the issue is reports are taking more time to dispsaly its content and leading it to  performance effect.
    In Bex ( BI side) reports  performance is little better than  SAP EP platform. BI Team also looking for ways to improve performance  at BI side.
    Could you please share your valuable ideas to improve  the performance at SAP EP side also ..
    Thanks and Regards
    Ratnakar Reddy

    Hi ratnakar,
    The first step is to identify which component is causing the performance problem. Run your report in the portal but try appending the string &PROFILING=X in the end of the URL. This will generate BI statistics which you can use to see which component (Java stack, ABAP stack, Database) is causing the performance issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • SAP BW OLAP Universe performance issue

    Hi,
    Based on BO recommendation, I created a universe on top of a big BEX query which included all characteristics and key figures from a cube. I then created a webi report with 5 characteristics and 1 key figure from this universe. I also create the same report in BEX query designer(same number of objects). I ran both. The Bex query completed under a minute and the webi report took more than 12 minutes to run. I did a bunch of other test with different number of objects combination and saw similar differential in query performance.
    I did a trace using 'sm50' and saw the open SQL submitted to BW from BEx was very different from what got submitted from the webi report. Here is what I saw in pseudo code.
    Bex:
    select dimension1.blah, dimension2.blah, dimension3.blah, dimension..... sum(measure)
    from dimension1, dimension2, dimension3, dimension..... factTable
    where dimension1.SID = factTable.d1SID
    and dimension2.SID = factTable.d2SID
    and ......
    and (query filters)
    OLAP Universe
    select dimension1,blah, dimension1.SID
    from dimension1, factTable
    where dimension1.SID = factTable.d1SID
    select dimension2,blah, dimension2.SID
    from dimension2, factTable
    where dimension2.SID = factTable.d2SID
    select dimension3,blah, dimension3.SID
    from dimension3, factTable
    where dimension3.SID = factTable.d3SID
    It seems the OLAP universe was querying the BW cube one dimension at a time and then somehow piece the result sets together to form the final result set. Dimension tables join to the fact table without any filter definitely causes performance issue. Beside, I have no idea why the query requests are submitted to the BW system like that.
    I looked in varies forums and found no similar issues posted by others. Has anyone had any performance problem with there OLAP universe? Is this a matter of configurations?
    My envrionment:
    SAP BW 3.5
    BOXI 3.0
    ORACLE DB (version ??)

    Hi,
    You cannot compare a BEx query and a universe query by just comparing the trace.
    BEx query makes ABAP calls and universe query makes MDX calls;
    Moreover there is only one MDX call sent to SAP, what you have noticed is that there is one MDX call to retrieve member for a given characteristic whereas a prompt has been set on.
    Last, Web Intelligence consume only flattened data (row sets) wheras BEx consume data sets.
    That means that there is a flattening operation between SAP OLAP engine and the data sent to the Web Intelligence document.
    A fix have been developed for a customer to improve performance on Web Intelligence queries, this fix will be available for all customers in SP2 planned in June 09.
    Here is a a brief summary of what the fix provide:
      -  Provide data directly from SAP server to Web Intelligence document. Avoid unnecessary conversion steps: row set --> data set --> row set
      -  Eliminate redundant sort operations
      -  Other optimization operations

  • Query Performance Issue based on the same Multiprovider

    Hi All,
    I am facing a performance issue with one of the BEx Query 1 based on a particular Multiprovider.
    I have done all the kind of testing and came o a conclusion that the OLAP: Data Transfer time for the query is the max at around 820 Secs.
    The surprising part is another Query 2 based on the same multiprovider runs absolutely fine without any hassles with OLAP : Data Transfer time with merely 3 Sec.
    Another, surprise is that Query 2 has even more Restricted Key Figures and Calculated Key Figures but it runs smoothly.
    Both the queries use cache memory.
    Please suggest a solution to this.
    Thanks.

    Hi Rupesh,
    There is no much difference between the 2 queries.
    Query 1 - which has performance issue has the same filters as that of Query 2 - which is working fine.
    The only difference is that the selection of Fiscal Week is in the Default Values Pane for Query 2 whereas its in Characteristics Restrictions in Query 1. I doubt whether this setting will have any effect on the performance.
    Both restriction i.e Fiscal Week restriction is based on Customer exit and the rows include Hierarchy for both the queries.
    I assume creating aggregates on hierarchy for the Cube can be a solution.

  • Performance issue at Webi/Universe

    Hi BO Experts,
    I am new to Business objects.
    I have developed a new universe and webi reports, but I am facing some performance issues at webi side. Below I am furnishing my development details; please let me know how I can overcome with the performance issues.
    1. Created a Query on Multiprovider (query is having nearly 125 objects (Info objects (restricted with hierarchies), navigational attributes & restricted key figures).
    2. Developed a new universe on the query.
    3. As part of performance- restricted the some fields at query filters and also applied conditions at universe level.
    4. Created a webi report and it is generating the results for 8 fields (4 characteristics (hierarchy levels) + 4 restricted key figures) and also I used 5 conditions at webi report filters.
    Finally, my Webi results are matching with BW query results, but Webi report is taking more time ( approximately 15 min. ) when I compare with BW query results( approximately 1min. ) and MDX query(approximately 2 min.) results. Requesting t you to please let me know, if I need to do any changes at universe or webi or bw query level  to overcome with this performance issue.
    Awaiting for your response.
    Regards,
    PRK

    Hi,
    Here are few steps to improve the performance:
    Try to build the aggrregrates at Cube leve for those Characterstics which u are using frequenlty in WEBI Reports.
    As you are using Hierarchy, the report performance will be always not good.
    I suggest this can be best handled in BI Modelling Level only instead of handling the same at WEBI Report Level as at WEBI Reports we dont have much options to improve the performance
    Also, I suggest you to look into the Query performance at BEX Level and then use the Query for further connections
    Regards

  • Report Performance Issue - Activity

    Hi gurus,
    I'm developing an Activity report using Transactional database (Online real time object).
    the purpose of the report is to list down all contacts related activities and activities NOT related to Contact by activity owner (user id).
    In order to fullfill that requirment I've created 2 report
    1) All Activities related to Contact -- Report A
    pull in Acitivity ID , Activity Type, Status, Contact ID
    2) All Activities not related to Contact UNION All Activities related to Contact (Base report) -- Report B
    to get the list of activities not related to contact i'm using Advanced filter based on result of another request which is I think is the part that slow down the query.
    <Activity ID not equal to any Activity ID in Report B>
    Anyone encountered performance issue due to the advanced filter in analytic before?
    any input is really appriciated
    Thanks in advanced,
    Fina

    Fina,
    Union is always the last option. If you can get all record in one report, do not use union.
    since all records, which you are targeting, are in the activity subject area, it is not nessecery to combine reports. add a column with the following logic
    if contact id is null (or = 'Unspecified') then owner name else contact name
    Hopefully, this is helping.

  • Report performance Issue in BI Answers

    Hi All,
    We have a performance issues with reports. Report is running more than 10 mins. we took query from the session log and ran it in database, at that time it took not more than 2 mins. We have verified proper indexes on the where clause columns.
    Could any once suggest to improve the performance in BI answers?
    Thanks in advance,

    I hope you dont have many case statements and complex calculations that you do in the Answers.
    Next thing you need to monitor is how many rows of data that you are trying to retrieve from the query. If the volume is huge then it takes time to do the formatting on the Answers as you are going to dump huge volumes of data. Database(like teradata) returns initially like 1-2000 records if you hit show all records then even db is gonna fair amount of time if you are dumping many records
    hope it helps
    thanks

    After many days of tests, I wanna share my results with community and comment them.
    CPU Introduction
    I tested my cpu and pushed it at maximum speed to understand where is the limit, can I reach this limit and I've logged precisely all result in graph (See pictures 1).
    Intro : I tested my E5-XEON 2687W (8 Cores Hyperthread - 16 threads) to know if programs can use the maximum of it.  I used Prime 95 to get the result.  // I know this seem to be ordinary, but you will understand soon...
    The result : Yes, I can get 100% of my CPU with 1 program using 20 threads in parallel.  The CPU gives everything it can !
    Comment : I put 3 IO (cpu, disk, ram) on the graph of my computer during the test...

    I tested my disk and pushed it at maximum speed to understand where is the limit and I've logged precisely all result in graph (See pictures 2).
    Intro : I tested my RAID 0 556GB (LSI MegaRAID 9260-8i SATA3 6GB/s 5 disks with Fastpath Chip Installed) to know if I can reach the maximum % disk usage (0% idle Time)
    The result : As you can see in picture 2, yes, I can get the max of my drive at ~ 1.2 Gb/sec read/write steady !
    Comment : I put 3 IO (cpu, disk, ram) on the graph of my computer during the test to see the impact of transfering many Go of data during ~10 sec...
    (picture 2)
    Now, I know my limits !  It's time to enter deeper in the subject !
    PPBM5 (H.264) Result
    I rendered the sequence (H.264) using Adobe Media Encoder.
    The result :
    My CPU is not used at 100%, the turn around 50%
    My Disk is totally idle !
    All the process usage are idle except process of (Adobe Media Encoder)
    The transfert rate seem to be a wave (up and down).  Probably caused by (Encrypt time....  write.... Encrypt time.... write...)  // It's ok, ~5Mb/sec during transfert rate !
    CPU Power management give 100% of clock to CPU during the encoding process (it's ok, the clock is stable during process).
    RAM, more than enough !  39 Go RAM free after the test !  // Excellent
    ~65 thread opened by Adobe Media Encoder (Good, thread is the sign that program try to using many cores !)
    GPU Load on card seem to be a wave also ! (up and down)  ~40% usage of GPU during the process of encoding.
    GPU Ram get 1.2Go of RAM (But with GTX 680, no problem and Quadro 6000 with 6 GB RAM, no problem !)
    Comment/Question : CPU is free (50%), disks are free (99%), GPU is free (60%), RAM is free (62%), my computer is not pushed at limit during the encoding process.  Why ????  Is there some time delay in the encoding process ?
    Other : Quadro 6000 & GTX 680 gives the same result !
    (picture 3)
    PPBM5 (Disk Test) Result (RAID LSI)
    I rendered the sequence (Disk Test) using Adobe Media Encoder on my RAID 0 LSI disk.
    The result :
    My CPU is not used at 100%
    My Disk wave and wave again, but far far from the limit !
    All the process usage are idle except process of (Adobe Media Encoder)
    The transfert rate wave and wave again (up and down).  Probably caused by (Buffering time....  write.... Buffering time.... write...)  // It's ok, ~375Mb/sec peak during transfert rate !  Easy !
    CPU Power management give 100% of clock to CPU during the encoding process (it's ok, the clock is stable during process).
    RAM, more than enough !  40.5 Go RAM free after the test !  // Excellent
    ~48 thread opened by Adobe Media Encoder (Good, thread is the sign that program try to using many cores !)
    GPU Load on card = 0 (This kind of encoding is GPU irrelevant)
    GPU Ram get 400Mb of RAM (No usage for encoding)
    Comment/Question : CPU is free (65%), disks are free (60%), GPU is free (100%), RAM is free (63%), my computer is not pushed at limit during the encoding process.  Why ????  Is there some time delay in the encoding process ?
    (picture 4)
    PPBM5 (Disk Test) Result (Direct in RAMDrive)
    I rendered the same sequence (Disk Test) using Adobe Media Encoder directly in my RamDrive
    Comment/Question : Look at the transfert rate under (picture 5).  It's exactly the same speed than with my RAID 0 LSI controller.  Impossible !  Look in the same picture the transfert rate I can reach with the ramdrive (> 3.0 Gb/sec steady) and I don't go under 30% of disk usage.  CPU is idle (70%), Disk is idle (100%), GPU is idle (100%) and RAM is free (63%).  // This kind of results let me REALLY confused.  It's smell bug and big problem with hardware and IO usage in CS6 !
    (picture 5)
    PPBM5 (MPEG-DVD) Result
    I rendered the sequence (MPEG-DVD) using Adobe Media Encoder.
    The result :
    My CPU is not used at 100%
    My Disk is totally idle !
    All the process usage are idle except process of (Adobe Media Encoder)
    The transfert rate wave and wave again (up and down).  Probably caused by (Encoding time....  write.... Encoding time.... write...)  // It's ok, ~2Mb/sec during transfert rate !  Real Joke !
    CPU Power management give 100% of clock to CPU during the encoding process (it's ok, the clock is stable during process).
    RAM, more than enough !  40 Go RAM free after the test !  // Excellent
    ~80 thread opened by Adobe Media Encoder (Lot of thread, but it's ok in multi-thread apps!)
    GPU Load on card = 100 (This use the maximum of my GPU)
    GPU Ram get 1Gb of RAM
    Comment/Question : CPU is free (70%), disks are free (98%), GPU is loaded (MAX), RAM is free (63%), my computer is pushed at limit during the encoding process for GPU only.  Now, for this kind of encoding, the speed limit is affected by the slower IO (Video Card GPU)
    Other : Quadro 6000 is slower than GTX 680 for this kind of encoding (~20 s slower than GTX).

    You can look the result in the picture.
    Comment/Question : CPU is free (55%), disks are free (99%), GPU is free (90%), RAM is free (65%), my computer is not pushed at limit during the encoding process.  Why ????   Adobe Premiere seem to have some bug with thread management.  My hardware is idle !  I understand AVCHD can be very difficult to decode, but where is the waste ?  My computer want, but the software not !

    Render composition using 3D Raytracer in After Effects CS6
    You can look the result in the picture.
    Comment : GPU seems to be the bottle neck when using After Effects.  CPU is free (99%), Disks are free (98%), Memory is free (60%) and it depend of the setting and type of project.
    Other : Quadro 6000 & GTX 680 gives the same result in time for rendering the composition.
    (picture 8)
    Conclusion
    There is nothing you can do (I thing) with CS6 to get better performance actually.  GTX 680 is the best (Consumer grade card) and the Quadro 6000 is the best (Profressional card).  Both of card give really similar result (I will probably return my GTX 680 since I not really get any better performance).  I not used Tesla card with my Quadro, but actually, both, Premiere Pro & After Effects doesn't use multi GPU.  I tried to used both card together (GTX & Quadro), but After Effects gives priority to the slower card (In this case, the GTX 680)
    Premiere Pro, I'm speechless !  Premiere Pro is not able to get max performance of my computer.  Not just 10% or 20%, but average 60%.  I'm a programmor, multi-threadling apps are difficult to manage and I can understand Adobe's programmor.  But actually, if anybody have comment about this post, tricks or any kind of solution, you can comment this post.  It's seem to be a bug...
    Thank you.

    Patrick,
    I can't explain everything, but let me give you some background as I understand it.
    The first issue is that CS6 has a far less efficient internal buffering or caching system than CS5/5.5. That is why the MPEG encoding in CS6 is roughly 2-3 times slower than the same test with CS5. There is some 'under-the-hood' processing going on that causes this significant performance loss.
    The second issue is that AME does not handle regular memory and inter-process memory very well. I have described this here: Latest News
    As to your test results, there are some other noteworthy things to mention. 3D Ray tracing in AE is not very good in using all CUDA cores. In fact it is lousy, it only uses very few cores and the threading is pretty bad and does not use the video card's capabilities effectively. Whether that is a driver issue with nVidia or an Adobe issue, I don't know, but whichever way you turn it, the end result is disappointing.
    The overhead AME carries in our tests is something we are looking into and the next test will only use direct export and no longer the AME queue, to avoid some of the problems you saw. That entails other problems for us, since we lose the capability to check encoding logs, but a solution is in the works.
    You see very low GPU usage during the H.264 test, since there are only very few accelerated parts in the timeline, in contrast to the MPEG2-DVD test, where there is rescaling going on and that is CUDA accelerated. The disk I/O test suffers from the problems mentioned above and is the reason that my own Disk I/O results are only 33 seconds with the current test, but when I extend the duration of that timeline to 3 hours, the direct export method gives me 22 seconds, although the amount of data to be written, 37,092 MB has increased threefold. An effective write speed of 1,686 MB/s.
    There are a number of performance issues with CS6 that Adobe is aware of, but whether they can be solved and in what time, I haven't the faintest idea.

  • Performance Issue for BI system

    Hello,
    We are facing performance issues for BI System. Its a preproductive system and its performance is degrading badly everyday. I was checking system came to know program buffer hit ratio is increaasing everyday due to high Swaps. So asked to change the parameter abap/buffersize which was 300Mb to 500Mb. But still no major improvement is found in the system.
    There is 16GB Ram available and Server is HP-UX and with Netweaver2004s with Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 installed in it.
    The Main problem is while running a report or creating a query is taking way too long time.
    Kindly help me.

    Hello SIva,
    Thanks for your reply but i have checked ST02 and ST03 and also SM50 and its normal
    we are having 9 dialog processes, 3 Background , 2 Update and 1 spool.
    No one is using the system currently but in ST02 i can see the swaps are in red.
