  • Dashboard Performance Issue

    HI Ingo,
    Thanks a lot for the wonderful postings in SDN and for your blogs on SAP BI/BO Solution architecture.
    I  am looking for few clarifications on SAP BO Xcelsius Dashboards. 
    Though I 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. For drilling down and complete analysis for the users. Our source data lies in SAP BI system and we are using BICS connectivity/ Webi with Live office for updating data in Xcelsius.
    Our requirement is too complex where we should be in a position to meet user expectations for complete multidimensional analysis by different criterion.
    We have scenarios like, Delivery performance where we need to get Case fill rate, Line fill rate, OTIF (On Time In Full),  etc .along with that alerts and based on that we should be providing short term, long term and medium term analysis.  (also we have scenarios from Sales, Inventory , Supply chain which are interlinked to each other).
    Here are my questions,
    1.     Is there any way to provide complete functionality using large data sets to the users with the current architecture without any performance issues?
    2.     Are there any third party tools which can be used with Xcelsius for the performance improvement and handling huge volumes?
    3.     Do you suggest any alternate solution for complete functionality?
    Awaiting your response.
    Thanks & Regards,

    hi,
    Generally, it would be better to display summarized information in Xcelsius.
    So at database/Source level, maintain aggregated information which will serve as input to Xcelsius.
    You can use Crystal Reports and Xcelsius together.
    Because Crystal reports has the capability of embedding Xcelsius components within the report.
    So Charts can be built using Xcelsius and embed in Crystal. whereas Table related content can be developed within Crystal report directly. Also, try to provide URLs(Open Document concept) from Xcelsius to Crystal reports to drill-down from  Summary data to detailed data.

  • Dashboard Performance - Very Very Very Slow

    Hi everyone, I would like to take some suggestions regarding the performance of Dashboard Pages.
    This is our first OBI project and were running into several performance issues. So far everyone in the team focused mostly on the functionality of the dashboard pages and we were happy to see it work as expected.
    But the biggest problem right now is the performance.
    When we log into the OBI, it takes at least 10 minutes to log in. We see this message... "Logging in please wait"
    Once we log in and click on the Dashboard, it takes another 5 to 10 minutes to show the first page.
    The pages we have in Dashboard have more than 60 answers requests (Guided Navigation) and about half a dozen Prompts (Constrained). Call it as a poor architecture or design plan, but this is what we wanted from a functionality and business stand point.
    Are there any specific areas on the Physical Server that we can focus to upgrate stuff like RAM, CPU usage, etc........ to improve the overall performance of the Dashboard?
    Everytime we report the poor performance to our Windows Team, we get the same answer that the CPU usage from their eyes is very normal by the OBI stuff. They inturn asking us what are the log files or areas they need to check to grant more CPU usage for OBI.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi David,
    Here are my answers for your questions earlier:
    1. How many users are running this dashboard at the same time?
    3-5 right now. But once this stuff is completly done, it will be accessed by at least 1000 external clients.
    2. What is the database?
    Oracle 10.2.0.4.0
    3. Have you changed any config parameters?
    All defaults except turned on “Execute queries asynchronously” yesterday
    4. The defaults are rarely okay for some of them. You need to look at the connection pool(s) settings. How many max connections?
    10
    5. Is pool sharing on?
    “Connection pooling enabled”
    6. Is multithreaded on?
    Yes
    Also, David regarding
    "Users having to wait at login often means that connections or threads are gated on the OBI server. You may need to bump up SERVER_THREAD_RANGE (try 500_500) and DB_SERVER_THREAD"
    Where do we do this. I mean, where can i find this attributes ????
    Thanks

  • Dashboard Performance slow.

    Hi All,
    We have created a Dashboard, with adding a tab which is based on simple infoview report.
    One dashboard contains such 6-7 infoview reports. While clicking on any one of the tab, the infoview reports almost takes more
    then 10-15mins to just open the report.
    The same report when we try to open it from Public Folder, the same report hardly takes a minute to open.
    How should I trace where is the problem in dashboard. The Performance of the Dashboard is crashed.
    Can anybody have any idea, how should this issue be analysed.
    Apprecaite quick response
    Thanks

    No I am not using Live Office. Whenever I create a Corporate Dasboard I select one infoview report from Corporate Analytics.
    This is report is a infoview report available in Public folders also as well as scheduled also.
    The same report i linked it up in the Corporate Dashboard. The size of the report is not too big. its small, few month the same
    dashboard used to take 20-30 sec to open a sub-tab i.e. the infoview report from the dashboard, now it is taking 10-15 mins...
    Whats going wrong from backend? The Performance has crashed.
    Thanks.

  • Improve dashboard performance when using QAAWS

    Initially we created an Xcelsius dashboard with 3 tabs, but the response time was so slow the dashboard was split into 3. Each dashboard uses QAAWS to retrieve data from the Business Objects Universe and there are 15, 21 and 28 queries for the respective dashboards. Consequently the initialisation time is quite significant and the refreshing of graphs when a parameter is changed is longer than we would like.
    Other than the obvious solution of removing some of the graphs or dividing the dashboards once again, is there something else we can try to improve the response times on the dashboards?
    Regards
    Jason

    Jason,
    This may not apply to your dashboard, depending on the nature of the data you're bringing back, but I try to minimize the number of separate queries by combining all the ones with the same 'shape' into one query.  For example, if you have several queries bringing back 12 rows - one for each of the past 12 months, you can combine them into a single query with multiple columns.  You can then make use of Excel functions such as VLookup to pick out the particular columns needed for displaying each chart.  You can also click on the 'row' line in the data manager to outline the entire area being brought back, rather than having to do each column individually.
    Again, this may not be applicable for your needs, but I've also found that I could eliminate using query parameters by bringing back a larger amount of data into the spreadsheet in the initial load and then using the Excel functions to pick up the data being requested in the user controls for displaying in the charts.  Using that monthly example above, for instance, you could bring back several years worth of data (at a cost of only 12 rows / year in the spreadsheet), and then use the lookup functions to bring up the year requested in a user control.
    Hope those ideas help,
    Peter

  • Missing performance counters when creating custom dashboard?

     I've run into an issue when trying to create custom dashboards with performance views. 
    For example I have 2 servers with the same OS 2008 R2 one does not show the problem the other does. 
    The issue is that when I go in to create a custom dashboard and add a performance view the only counters listed for the problem server are network adapters. If I go to performance view on the server in scom it shows all the counters. The only place the counters
    are missing is in the selection area for the dashboard performance view widget. 
      Do the performance views pull counter data from a different place then the dashboard performance widgets?

  • Dashboard Query about Database

    Hello, I have a query regarding dashboard performance. Can I use the filter button on the dashboard in combo boxes so when user selects something in the combo box, the dashboard does not render the result set all at once but make trips back to Database? this way i think performance can be made better.
    Please let me know,
    Thanks.

    I have passed the combo box values start date & end date in C6 & C7 cell then using the push button I am passing the values from F10 to H6.
    Finally used a query refresh button initially it will trigger the dashboard from F10, once you change any values I have used the when value changes trigger option and trigger from H6.
    To know more about that when value changes, please check this link.

  • DCNM Performance issues ( postgres ? )

    Hello, we are evaluating DCNM-SAN to get an idea of our SAN Switches performances, ( mostly 9513).
    Environment :
    Physical server ( not under VMW), with 2 x Intel Xeon 5110 processor @1.6 Ghz
    12 GB RAM
    Local disk.
    Windows Server 2008R2  64bit.
    We are using a DCNM demo license and discovered 24 MDS ( 20 licensed by the demo lic, 2 already fully licensed and 2 not licensed).
    In the same SAN ( 6 fabrics) we do have also 36 Nexus switches connected to the MDS for the FCoE connections to/from the servers; those Nexus are not licensed so we do not collect performances for them.
    For all the licensed MDS ( 22) we are collecting performances.
    We started with DCNM 6.1.2, and everything was running smooth, then 5 days ago we decided to upgrade to 6.2.1.
    From the very first moment after the upgrade, we have noticed an increased load in the CPU, that normally was about 6 to 10 %;  now, after 5 days the CPU load is above 80% most of the times, and when opening a page ( i.e. dashboard, performance or inventory section) it takes about 2 minutes to have the page completed with 100% of cpu load, while before the upgrade it took about 5 secs.
    I also noticed that when  cpu is 100%, it is due to 4-5 "postgres.exe *32" processes chocking it.
    I took a peek at the troubleshooting section of the docs, and the only reason for a postgres slowlyness could be the DB > 3 GB, but our is only 185 MB !!
    I really don't get it, tryied even a server reboot but with no luck....to my understanding, collecting performances for 24 MDS with this server HW should be ok, not  to mention that until we performed the upgrade, everything seemed to run smoothly..
    Any help, please ? We are willing to evaluate the acquisition of such licenses, but we're start to having some doubt....
    Tnx in advance

    Hi,
    you should analyze the db after you have loaded the tables.
    Do you use sequences to generate PKs? Do you have a lot of indexex and/or triggers on the tables?
    If yes:
    make sure your sequence caches (alter sequence s cache 10000)
    Drop all unneeded indexes while loading and disable trigger if possible.
    How big is your Redo Log Buffer? When loading a large amount of data it may be an option to enlarge this buffer.
    Do you have more then one DBWR Process? Writing parallel can speed up things when a checkpoint is needed.
    Is it possible using a direct load? Or do you already direct load?

  • Dashboard problem

    I've noticed this just recently. I keep my machine on 24/7. I have 4 accounts on my machine. Before bed, my wife reads her email and leaves the machine on her account. In the morning, I switch over to my account. I then click on the center mouse button to check the weather (using a dashboard widget). My dashboard widgets appear like they do when you first start up (empty, un-initialized). After the normal few seconds, the widgets show the normal state. As a test, after they started up, I switched users to my wife's account and back. Widgets are still there. What is going on? Could it be the screen saver is resetting the state of the widgets? This is never worked this way in the past. Not sure if this is since the last Tiger update or security patch.
    Thanks,
    Alfredo

    Upgrading the RAM from 256 MB to at least 512 MB has been reported to improve Dashboard performance on this board before. The fact that it was slow the first time, and not afterwards suggests that it hadn't had the chance to load what would be loaded several times into cache during that first load.

  • Issues with SharePoint 2013 after upgrading from windows 2012 to 2012 r2

    We have a Sharepoint with Sp1 environment on windows 2012. Recently we upgraded the windows 2012 to 2012 r2. After the upgrade sharepoint environment is completely unstable.
    At first all the sites returned 401 errors. After resolving by resetting the object cache accounts the sites are back.
    Then i see that none of the performance point dashboards work. I figured that claims to windows token service is defaulted to local system account. I previously configured with a domain account. I reconfigured to work with domain account. 
    All the dashboard pages throw error.
           Some Error logs:Failed to get document content data. System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Cannot complete this function     at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSqlClient.GetDocumentContentRow 
    Application error when access /Dashboards/Performance Dashboard/Main.aspx, Error=The EnableScriptGlobalization property cannot be changed during async postbacks or after the Init event.   at System.Web.UI.ScriptManager.set_EnableScriptGlobalization(Boolean
    value)    
      4.  I tried to create a new dashboard and this time the performancepoint designer wont launch. After some troubleshooting i see that c2w host file didnot have the caller  C:\Program Files\Windows Identity Foundation\v3.5. 
           I added <add value="WSS_WPG" /> and now it launches
      5.  Now the Dashboard launches and peruser identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS. I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at the IIS level
    yet.
    It looks like lot of things got messed up and reset. Can we upgrade to windows 2012 r2 with a sharepoint application inplace. what is the recommended approach and Whats happening with Performancepoint dashboards. IS there a known issue with sharepoint 2013
    sp1.
    Raj-Shpt

    Thanks for the above article. Few issues are solved . One of the main issue is with Performancepoint Dashboard.
     I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at
    the IIS level yet. Still per user identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS.

  • Cache server metrics-Current Open connections

    hello all,
    I have a query regarding the dashboard cache server metrics in CMC.
    When I run the dashboards, data is getting cached in the cache memory, but dashboards are using that cached data only when the "Current Open connections" in the "Dashboard cache server metric" is non-zero.
    i.e., example when I run the dashboards for the first time, "Current Open connections" under Cache server metrics is 10. When I run the dashboards immediately with in 20 minutes, results would come very fast. But after 20 minutes , the "Current Open connections" are becoming 0(connections seems to be expiring) and after I run the dashboards, they are performing slowly though the data is present in the cache memory.
    I have tried changing the "Idle Connection timeout" to 240 minutes from the existing 60 minutes, still "Current Open connections" under Cache server metrics is becoming 0 after 20 minutes.
    Kindly help me as this is affecting the dashboards performance.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Appreciate any help on this. Attached is the screenshot of what I was referring to. "Currently Open Connections" becoming 0 in 20 minutes(even after the idle time connection timeout is increased to 240 minutes) , while the number of open connections shows the number.

  • Custom Analytics

    Post Author: bucanero8
    CA Forum: Performance Management and Dashboards
    We are on Business Objects XI R2 SP2 we deployed custom analytics like pies, control, ... templates.zip and data_exploratoin_templates.zip with the utility XCTemplateUploader. All was Ok. Then we install Fix pack 2.3 to solve a problem with metric refresh (ADAPT00758058) After instaling Fix pack 2.3 IMT analytic didn't work so we decided to uninstall Fix pack. we deploy manually war on tomcat because the uninstall wizard don't do it automatically. Now we have the problem when you click to create new analytic you can see Dashboard, Performance and Tool Analytics but is impossible to visualice custom analytics appears this message $MSG_ANANKE_DATA_ANA_CAT_NAME$ We have tried XCTemplateUploader with -overwrite  -fmkdir but nothing!!!! Any ideas please!  It would be possible to uninstall DashBoard and Performance without affect to Business Objects Enterprise, this is our last chance! Regards! Thanks!

  • Best practices for using Query Browser

    Hi,
    I started getting along with "Query Browser" option to embed data directly from Bex queries to the dashboard.
    I am looking for the Best practices which are recommended and needs to be followed from performance point of view and from reporting point of view.
    I went through some of documents but was not convincingly sure about the measures which they suggested.
    So, would be thankful for any help points or documents received in relation with it.

    Hi JK,
    All above links are given general rules and tips & tricks to boost your dashboard performance.
    Keep the dashboard simple and clean, dashboards are for summarized level not to the detailed level.
    try to understand the KPI for the client based on the write your model in paper first and go through the dashboards.
    Maximum of number of rows allowed by the dashboard is 512, you can increase the rows but that too hampers your dashboard, if the result set of the query is too big.
    Connections i have seen people using more than 10 - 15 connections into the dashboards, but these many connections. really your dashboard will take time to retrieve the data.
    Things you need to consider:
    - Reduce the components in your DD.
    - Make the font name similar across the dashboard.
    - Enable the option show loading status in document properties, this will increase your loading time.
    - Use refresh type as "Refresh after components loaded".
    - Use simple formula as if-else & sum,indexes.
    - Remove formatting in your query's.
    These are the few things you can consider while designing the dashboard. Do search in scn and blog there lot many tips and tricks are available.

    Suman
