Crystal Report Performance for dbf files.

We have a report which was designed 5 -6 years ago. This report has 4 linked word doc and dbf file as datasource. This report also as 3 subreports. The size of field in dbf is 80 chars and couple of field are memo field. The report performance was excellent before we migrated the crystall report to 2008. After CR2008 the system changed and it is suddenly really slow. We have not change our reports so much it should have an influence on performance. When the user presses the preview button on printing tool window the control is transferred to Crystal. Something has happened inside black box of Crystal ( IMO ). the dll we have are crdb_p2bxbse.dll 12.00.0000.0549 . The issues seems to be of xbase driver (not possible to use latest version of crdb_p2bxbse.dll and dbase files with memo fields).

Hi Kamlesh,
Odd that the word doc is opened before the RPT, I would think that the RPT would need to be opened first so it sees that the doc also needs to be opened. Once it's been loaded then the connection can be closed, CR embeds the DOC in the RPT so the original is no longer required.
Also, you should upgrade to Service Pack 3, it appears you are still using the original release. SP1 is required first but then you should be able to skip SP2 and install SP3.
You did not say what earlier version of Cr you were using? After CR 8.5 we went to full UNICODE support at which time they completely re-built the report designer and removed the database engines from the EXE and made them separate dll's now. OLE objecting also changed, you can use a formula and database field to point to linked objects now so they can be refreshed any time. Previously they were only refreshed when the report was opened.
You may want to see if linking them using a database field would speed up the process. Other than that I can't suggest anything else as a work around.
Thank you

Hyperion Interactive reporting performance issue.

Hi,
We created a report in Hyperion Interactive reporting using Hyperion Essbase as database connection file .
Report performance was good in Interactive reporting Studio we don't have any problem in studio.
when we open the the report in Hyperion Workspace We are facing performance issue of the report and also when i hit refresh button to refresh data in the Workspace,i am getting the following error message
*"An Interactive Reporting Service error has occurred - Failed to acquire requested service. Error Code : 2001"*
Any suggestions to resolve this will be really helpful.
Thanks in advance
Thanks

Hi
i also faced such an issue and then i found the answer on metalink
Error: "An Interactive Reporting Service Error has Occurred. Failed to Acquire Requested Service. Error Code: 2001" when Processing a bqy Report in Workspace. [ID 1117395.1]
Applies to:
Hyperion BI+ - Version: 11.1.1.2.00 and later [Release: 11.1 and later ]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
Obtaining the following error when trying to process a BQY that uses an Essbase data source in Workspace:
"An Interactive Reporting Service error has occurred. Failed to acquire requested service. Error Code: 2001".
Cause
The name of the data source in the CMC contained the machine name in fully qualified name format whereas the OCE contained the machine name only. This mismatch in machine names caused the problem. Making the machine name identical in both cases resolved the problem.
Solution
Ensure that the name of the data source as specified in the OCE in Interactive Reporting Studio matches the name specified in the CMC tool in the field "Enter the name of the data source".
In fact, all fields need to match between the OCE and the CMC Data Source.

Will BW indexing help Webi reports performance

Hi Experts,
Environment
BO Version:4.1 SP3
Reporting Database:BW 7.4 sp3
Recently we have applied the OSS note :. 0001898395 so that we enabled index on the master data.
We have applied the note and had the index on the 0profit_ctr in the Infoobject: 0mat_plant.
Reports are fast in BEX side but there is no difference in webi reports performance.
Our opinion is if BEx performance is increased obviously WEbi performance also should increase.
Please post your experiences..
Thank you,,

Several things will affect the report speed. Note that there are two halves to it - the data source fetch time and the report render time.
Data source fetch time is the time that it takes for all the data to be returned. BO will always look slower than the native tool because the native tool starts spooling out results as soon as it retrieves the first one - the more data returned, the slower BO will look by comparison.
Report render time will depend upon the number and complexity of variables as well as the number of rows returned.
Reducing the volume of data with correct aggregations and filters rather than summing and filtering at report level are the two best ways to improve performance without database/universe access.

Report Performance - timeout short dump

Hello Experts,
i am trying to improve the performace of a report that was developed long time ago.
Issues i found:
1. The report has many select...Endselect combinations, and selects inside the loop statements.
2. Most of the selects have the addition 'into corresponding fields of' for selecting a few fields, without the table addition.
3. Also few selects have the 'select * from' syntax.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
          f1,
          f2
          f3.....
          fn,
        end of itab.
Ex: loop at itab.
         select f1 f2 f3 from table1
               into corresponding fields of itab1.
           collect itab1.
         endselect.
          select f4 f5 from table2
              into corresponding fields of itab2.
           endselect.
      endloop.
All this leeds to performace issues.
i have checked ST05, and i have got the details of the error.
My question is which one of the reasons i mentioned above are a major factor in delaying the report performance?
Which one of the above should i conetrate first to get the long runtime down? My goal is to keep my changes to the minimum and improve the performance. Please advise.

Don't ask people for guesses, if you can see the facts!
Run the SQL Trace several times, and use go to 'Trace List' -> 'Summarize Trace by SQL Statement'
=> Shows you total DB time and time per statement (all executions), the problems are on top of the list.
Check ABAP, detail, and explain!

Report Performance degradation

hi,
We are using around 16 entities in crm on demand R 16which includes both default as well as custom entites.
Since custom entities are not visible in the historical subject area , we decided to stick to the real time reporting.
Now the issue is , we have total 45 lakh record in these entites as a whole.We have reports where we need to retrieve the data across all the enties in one report.Intially we tested the reports with lesser no of records...the report performance was not that bad....but gradually it has degraded as we loaded more n more data over a period of time.The reports now takes approx 5-10 min and then finally diaplays an error msg.Infact after creating a report structure in Step 1 - Define Criteria......n moving to Step 2 - Create Layout it takes abnormal amount of time to display.As far as reports are concerned, we have built them using the best practice except the "Historical Subject Area Issue".
Ideally for best performance how many records should be there one entity?
What cud be the other reasons for such a performance?
We are working in a multi tenant enviroment
Edited by: Rita Negi on Dec 13, 2009 5:50 AM

Rita,
Any report built over the real-time subject areas will timeout after a period of 10 minutes. Real-time subject areas are really not suited for large reports and you'll find running them also degrades the application performance.
Things that will degrade performance are:
* Joins to other dimensions
* Custom calculations
* Number of records
* Number of fields returned
There are some things that just can't be done in real-time. I would look to remove joins from other dimensions e.g. Accounts/Contacts/Opportunities all in the same report. Apply more restrictive filters, e.g. current week/month to reduce the number of records required. Alternatively have very simple report, extract to excel and modify from there. Hopefully in R17 this will be added as a feature but it seems like you're stuck till then
Thanks

Report performance while creating report on BEx

All all!
I am creating a report on BOE 4.0 on top of BEx connection as a source. I have developed reports on top of universe in the past and i know that if we keep calculations on reporting end it hampers the report performance. Is this the same case with BEx? if we are following the best practices is it ok to say that we should keep all heavy calculations/ aggregation on BEx or backend for better report performance.
Can you guys please provide your opinion based on your experiance and knowledge. Any feedbacks will help! Thanks.

Hi,
Definitely best-practice to delegate a maximum of CKF to the Cube where possilble, put RKF in the BEx query, and Filters too.
also, add Default Values to your Variables (this will speed up generation of the bics transient universe)
also, since Patch2.10, we are seeing some significant performance improvements reducing 'document initialization' and 'time to prompts' by up to 50% (step such as these often took 1.5 minutes, even on sized systems)
Also, make sure you have BW corrections like this implemented: 1593802 Performance optimization when loading query views
In the BusinessObjects landscape - especially with BI 4.0 - it's all about Sizing and Tuning . Here is your bible the 'sizing companion' guide : http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000738725&_OBJECT=011000358700000307202011E
Pay particular attention to BICSChunkSize registry settings
Also, the -Xmx JVM Heap Size for the Adaptive Processing Server that is running the DSL_Bridge service.

Report Performance for GL item level report.

Hi All,
I have a requirements to get GL line items
report based on GL Line items so have created data model like 0FI_GL_4->DSO-> cube and tested everything is fine but when execute in production the report performance is very bad.
Report contains document number, GL act, comp.code, posting date objects.
I have decided to do as follows to improve reporting performance
· Create Aggregate on Document, GL characteristic
· Compression.
Can I do aggregates 1st then do the compression.
Please let me know if I missing out anything.
Regards,
Naani.

Hi Naani,
First fill the Aggrigates then do Compression,run SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGN Check the size of Dimension maintain Line item, High cordinality to the dimension, Set Cahe for query in RSRT,
Try to reduce Novigational Attr in report. Below document may help you.

Problem when execute report Conversion Tool XI 3.0 on a client

Hi everyone,
When I use Report Conversion Tool on a client (not on Webi Server Windows 2003) I have an error (a red cross appears) before the conversion.
I believe that RCT can not open the document to migrate.
All it's OK when I use RCT since the Webi Server.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for your prompt response.
I have install all the client tool (even SDK, Query Web Service) except Assitant migration source de données, Gestionnaires Vues d'entreprise et Gestionnaire de traduction.
I think I have a problem of rights on my Windows 2003 Server because in the log of conversion (C:Documents and SettingsUtilisateurLocal SettingsTempconversionUSER146731693logsD30860242.xml)
the following lines are written :
Note that I do the conversion with the Administrator login.

Bad reporting performance after compressing infocubes

Hi,
as I learned, we should compress requests in our infocubes. And since we're using Oracle 9.2.0.7 as database, we can use partitioning on the E-facttable to still increase reporting performance. So far all theory...
After getting complaints about worse reporting performance we tested this theory. I created four InfoCubes (same datamodel):
A - no compression
B - compression, but no partitioning
C - compression, one partition for each year
D - compression, one partition for each month
After loading 135 requests and compressing the cubes, we get this amount of data:
15.6 million records in each cube
Cube A: 135 partitions (one per request)
Cube B: 1 partition
Cube C: 8 partitions
Cube D: 62 partitions
Now I copied one query on each cube and with this I tested the performance (transaction rsrt, without aggregates and cache, comparing the database time QTIMEDB and DMTDBBASIC). In the query I selected always one month, some hierarchy nodes and one branch.
With this selection on each cube, I expected that cube D would be fastest, since we only have one (small) partition with relevant data. But reality shows some different picture:
Cube A is fastest with an avg. time of 8.15, followed by cube B (8.75, +8%), cube C (10.14, +24%) and finally cube D (26.75, +228%).
Does anyone have an idea what's going wrong? Are there same db-parameters to "activate" the partitioning for the optimizer? Or do we have to do some other customizing?
Thanks for your replies,
Knut

Hi Björn,
thanks for your hints.
1. after compressing the cubes I refreshed the statistics in the infocube administration.
2. cube C ist partitioned using 0CALMONTH, cube D ist partitioned using 0FISCPER.
3. here we are: alle queries are filtered using 0FISCPER. Therefor I could increase the performance on cube C, but still not on D. I will change the query on cube C and do a retest at the end of this week.
4. loaded data is joined from 10 months. The records are nearly equally distributed over this 10 months.
5. partitioning was done for the period 01.2005 - 14.2009 (01.2005 - 12.2009 on cube C). So I have 5 years - 8 partitions on cube C are the result of a slight miscalculation on my side: 5 years + 1 partion before + 1 partition after => I set max. no. of partitions on 7, not thinking of BI, which always adds one partition for the data after the requested period... So each partition on cube C does not contain one full year but something about 8 months.
6. since I tested the cubes one after another without much time between, the system load should be nearly the same (on top: it was a friday afternoon...). Our BI is clustered with several other SAP installations on a big unix server, so I cannot see the overall system load. But I did several runs with each query and the mentioned times are average times over all runs - and the average shows the same picture as the single runs (cube A is always fastest, cube D always the worst).
Any further ideas?
Greets,
Knut

Report Conversion Tool - problem with logging in table OBJ_G_MIGRATION

Hello Community-Members,
since several days I am searching different BO-Communities for a solution, but I didn't find any threats about my problem.
I am new to BO XI R3.1 and I want to convert deski-reports with the report conversion tool.
I tried it directly on the server-machine and all is ok (report is converted inclusive the logging in the audit-table OBJ_G_MIGRATION).
When I try it on my client-machine, the conversion is made successfully, but there is no result in the audit-table.
On the client-machine, I use the same connection like on the server machine and on both machines, I am logged on (in the report conversion tool) with the "Administrator"-user.
Has anyone an idea? Could it be a problem of user-rights in the Oracle-DB?
kind regards
Guenny

Hello Denis,
thank you for your reply.
From my client machine I can successfully test the connection to the Audit-DB. With non BO-Tools like "SQL Tools1.4.1" I can also connect to that DB.
After your reply I have tested once again and I have found something else strange.
If I convert a deski-report, and the conversion-status is "not converted", the Audit-DB is written (for example: error-text = "document cannot be read" / workaround = "remove protection password if set").
But when I convert the same report together with an other report, which will result in "partially converted", nothing is written to the Audit-DB (same effect as when I convert only reports with status "partially convertet").
regards
Guenny

Report Conversion Tool error

Hi exports
iam using software 3.1
Iam facing below issue ,while converting deski to webi reports
Note : All my servers are up ..
Is i need to enable any options in servers
Thanks,

Hi Raghu,
Try this idea: run it on server. Other user suggest the Windows version as the reason. if does not run, reinstall the Tool, maybe something is corrupted.
Report Conversion Tool gives Error: Failed on Webintelligence Server

Item/Drill Report Performance hinderance

I am having a problem with report performance. I have a report that I have to have 5 drop down menus on top of the report. It seems the more drop down menus I add, the slower the response time when the report is actually navigated. One of the drop downs has over 1,000 options, but the other 4 drop down menus have 4-5 options. Is there a way to improve performance?

And this is different from yesterday how?
Please help, Discoverer Performance.
Russ provided a few possible reasons, and asked for a bit of detail. Instead of asking the same question again, respond to Russ and others, and provide a bit more information to how things are set up.

2004s Web report performance is not good ,though that of 3x web is OK.

Hi,
I feel 2004s Web report performance is bad, though that of 3x web is no problem (the same query is used.) it is worse than BEx analyzer.
This query has more than 1,000 records and those queries that have many records result in the same bad performance.
Of course there are many reason for this bad performance, please tell me your solution by which you solve the same problem like this.
the SIDs of EP and BI is difference here.
CPU is not consumed when 2004s web report is executed.
And I have cancelled virus scan to this web report...
Kind regards,
Masaaki

It is bad, am sure it's down to the new .net and java based technology. Aggregates are a way forwards though from what i've heard of the BI Accelerator this is the real way forwards.

Bex Report Performance

Dear Friends,
I would like to know is the complex authorizations can also cause the Bex report performance.
One of my scenerio is like there are two users A & B
A is having relevant authorizations for reporting, Drill down etc which are required.
B is having SAP All authorization.
When the same report has been executed by both users on the same system.
the data retrieved by user B(SAP_ALL authorization) is quite faster than User A.
Its like ther diffference of about 10 minutes.
There are some exsclude selections in report.
So my conclusion is like the complex authorizations do also hampers the query performance.
Please confirm & share your views.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Vivek Tripathi

Hi Vivek
     Can you help us understand what was the exact problem and how you resolved it / solution at Extraction / Modeling / Reporting end.
     I have a quite similiar issue with my report i have Header + Item report on Infoset
u2022     Header report takes seconds and item report takes minutes
u2022     The same report executed with exact parameter has inconsistent performance results meaning one time it takes 1 minutes next time same report same user and same authorization takes 5 minutes.
    Any help on this would be really greatfull. Suspecting is not an issue with the report at all , as no changes happened between the pre and post check.
_Additional Information : _
We Create Secondary -Bitmap index every week end i do not see that is one of the route cause.
Except that we have our regular daily loads that are running for master data loads and transaction data loads in series.
   Thanks in Advance.
Much Regards
