BI Services and Xcelsius Caching

Does BI Services use Xcelsius Caching??
Is BI Services faster than Live office??
Thanks In Advance

Hello Ragav,
Well to answer your question is it really improves the performace to be very honest you have to test it.
If you may have a look to the section
1. Why add new Xcelsius servers ?
Prior to XI 3.1 SP3
the request is sent to BOE and query sent again to the datasource (SQL or MDX execution in the case of a database).
With XI 3.1 SP3
the request is sent to BOE, the data set is retrieved from the Xcelsius cache server and sent back to the user.
This will sure address plenty of performace and avoid un-necessary hits to DB.
Only thing is to check the performace you have to try that in your environment and see if that works as an option for you.
because the dataset I might be having will be different than yours.
I would recommend use these two SAP Notes together and give it a try on your test machine: -
1482395     How to activate Xcelsius cache / process servers on BOE after the SP3 installation?
1547084     QAAWS from Xcelsius to Oracle fails with "Failed to run Query" error message
Happy Testing.

  • Content delivery service VS. network cache

    hi,
    Ps clarify what's differences between content delviery service and network cache?
    difei

    Hi,
    I gather you are talking about the ACNS software that has both the ecdn and caching application on it? He is an explanation of both applications.
    ECDN
    The ECDN is an application that pre-positions content at the network edge. This is done using a management GUI. The content is managed from a device called a CDM (Content Delievery Manager). The content is first loaded onto the CDM and then scheduled for distrubution to the edge nodes (CE Content Engines).
    When the content is requested, a http request is sent to the CDM and the CDM decides which edge node to send the client to to serve the content. This is done on source IP of the http request. When the CDM works out the closest node the CDM issues a http 302 redirect to the client with the address and a special url to the CE that is closest to the client that has the content.
    The CDM is configured with coverage zones for each CE (IP address ranges each CE can serve) and uses this to make a choice to which CE is going to serve the content.
    Please see this url for more in-depth information
    http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/webscale/uce/acns41/ecdn41/chap1.htm
    CACHING
    Caching is different in that we do not manage it centrally, we do not pre-position content (althought this can be done with pre-loading), we do not use a central point to determine which cache to use.
    Caching is done in one of 2 ways. Transparent or Proxy.
    For an explanation of these please see the following URL.
    http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/webscale/uce/acns41/cnfg41/index.htm
    With caching we take the users request to the internet and proxy it. When the request come back when then cache it (if it is cachable) and send the request back to the client. Depending on if we are running transparent or proxy depends on the protocols that we can proxy/cache.
    This url will explain it in more detail.

  • Query as a Web Service and In List

    Hi,
    Here is my scenario (Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise SP2):
    - List builder object which returns multiple values
    I want to use those values to filter a Query as a Web Service data connection (to BW based universe). How is that possible?
    My web service contains a Filter defined as <Dimension> In List <Prompt>
    I have tried the following:
    1) Selected multiple rows in the Input Values/Read From section of the connection
    2) Tried to concatenate the individual values using ; and , and then passing the concatenated values to the Read From section of the connection (as one cell)
    1) works fine as long as I just select one value, but when I select multiple values, only the first one is used to filter the QaaWS
    2) Does not work
    Any ideas/suggestion on how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jacob

    Hello David,
    I tried this feature of BI Services through WebI Rich Client. But I am having problem with sending values for Prompts using Xceslius. Below is the procedure I followed in developing a report and using BI web service to connect to Xcelsius.
    1) Build a report in Web Intelligence rich client along with Query filters (Inlist, Optional Prompts).
    2) Activate BI Service and publish the block after exporting the file.
    3) Use the WSDL URL to connect to Xcelsius from Data Connection (Add as Query As Web Service and Import it).
    4) Method: Get_ReportBlock_<Block name>,
        set input values <Enter_value_s_for_prompt>
            i) Valueofprompt (bind to single values, hard coded)
           ii) Index (leave blank, not binded)
    5) set <refresh> as 1 (or true) and <getfromlatestdocumentinstance> as 0 (false)
    6) Bind the output values to excel and pull a scorecard component to view the data.
    7) Preview the dashboard and now I get this error
                    Cannot Access external Data: String index out of range: -1
    When I remove both the values inserted in step 5, I get complete data (prompt is not applied). I also have a doubt whether I can pass multiple values for the prompt without using + sign to duplicate the Prompt.
    From some of the previous posts I came to know about Value formatting compatibility issue between BI Services and Xcelsius. Which is addressed with two fix packs
    1) XI 3.1 SP2.5 (available since last March) for WebIntelligence Rich Client & BI Services, and
    2) Xcelsius 2008 SP3.1 (available since last April).
    Are these the up to date Fix packs available and will they solve my problem?
    Where can I download them from (SAP Market place)? or from our SAP service consultant?

  • Does Weblogic Portal Server provides caching services and multilingual support

    I wanted to know whether Weblogic Portal Server 8.1 has got the facility for caching
    services and multilingual support?

    is this JSF-portlet.jar bridge file used to create .portlet file from the JSF file so that the portlet file may be added in the portal?
    And if you were able to solve the issue by removing the bridge jar file itself, how does that help? if that is the one that would help in creating portlets.
    If anyone have been able to create a .portlet file from JSF and deploy in Weblogic 8.1, let me know.
    Thanks,
    -RAJIV.

  • BI services and xcelisus

    Hi,
    I am creating a dashboard using live office ( i need crosstab reports, so using live office connecting to a webi report). but my webi reports are taking long time to run, so dahboards are also. so i thought to create cache the reports data and use it in dashboards. but i am new to BI serives, can anyone expalin me how to use BI services and cross tabs reports in xcelsius.
    Do i need any addin in xcelisus components?
    Thanks
    Krishna

    Hi Krishna,
    BI Services can be consumed without restriction I know by Xcelsius 2008 SP3 and above. You simply need to define a new QaaWS connection from the Xcelsius data manager and map it to the BI Service call you want (QaaWS connections will enable to use serialized sessions if you want to consume the dashboard from Infoview).
    You can improve dashboard interactivity and scalability as BI Services enable to leverage scheduled documents as well as pass report filters.
    BI Services can be designed from WebI report parts with a specific designer available with XI 3.1 SP2 (and above) WebI Rich Client. FYI, this designer is also available from Webi applet in Infoview since release 4.0
    Hope that helps,
    David.

    I just noticed the exact same thing. It turns out that the httpd-ssl.conf file on my system is still the old v2.2 syntax, which means that the SSLMutex directive is still in there. This is an invalid directive after 2.2.
    This is where things get interesting. At first, I simply thought I had forgotten to merge httpd-ssl.conf.pacnew after apache had been upgraded to 2.4. However, when I check my pacman.log, it appears that httpd-ssl.conf was never upgraded when apache went to 2.4 - (2.2.26-1 -> 2.4.7-1). There was never a pacnew file generated to be merged.
    I took a look at the apache package via the abs and the "proper" httpd-ssl.conf is certainly in there, so why pacman never created a pacnew file is a mystery.
    Anyway, to fix this: pull the httpd-ssl.conf from the apache package, either from your cache, using the abs and building it, or (I think) pacman may re-install it if you move the file to a backup location (not sure about this). Then merge your original httpd-ssl-conf with the new one.

  • Sharepoint 2013 search error - The search application 'Search Service Application 1' on server is not provisioned.Confirm that the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Timer service and Central Administration service are running on the server.

    Hi All,
    I'm getting the below error in My SHarepoint 2013 search Administration page.
    Crawler background activity - The search application 'Search Service Application 1' on server ""  is not provisioned. Confirm that the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Timer service and Central Administration service are running

    and when i click on Crawl Log and content source
    it throws the below error
    The search service is currently offline. Visit the Services on Server page in SharePoint Central Administration to verify whether
    the service is enabled. This might also be because an indexer move is in progress
    When i check the search status
    Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance, it shows all the components are online.
    As of now search service application is online and search is working.But not sure why it throws the above error.
    I have restarted timer service,search service in services.msc and cleared the sharepoint cache as well.
    But no luck,This is happening in my prodcution environment.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    There are the logs i have found

  • Foundation 2013 Farm and Distributed Cache settings

    We are on a 3 tier farm - 1 WFE + 1APP + 1SQL - have had many issues with AppFab and Dist Cache; and an additional issue with noderunner/Search Services.  Memory and CPU running very high.  Read that we shouldn't be running Search
    and Dist Cache in the same server, nor using a WFE as a cache host.  I don't have the budget to add another server in my environment. 
    I found an article (IderaWP_CachingFormSharePointPerformance.pdf) saying "To make use of SharePoint's caching capabilities requires a Server version of the platform." because it requires the publishing feature, which Foundation doesn't have. 
    So, I removed Distributed Cache (using Powershell) from my deployment and disabled the AppFab.  This resolved 90% of server errors but performance didn't improve. Now, not only I'm getting errors now on Central Admin. - expects Dist Cache
    - but I'm getting disk operations reading of 4000 ms.
    Questions:
    1) Should I enable AppFab and disable cache?
    2) Does Foundation support Dist Cache?  Do I need to run Distributed Cache?
    3) If so, can I run with just 1 cache host?  If I shouldn't run it on a WFE or an App server with Search, do I have to stop Search all together?  What happens with 2 tier farms out there? 
    4) Reading through the labyrinth of links on TechNet and MSDN on the subject, most of them says "Applies to SharePoint Server".
    5) Anyone out there on a Foundation 2013 production environment that could share your experience?
    Thanks in advance for any help with this!

    That article is referring to BlobCache, not Distributed Cache. BlobCache requires Publishing, hence Server, but DistributedCache is required on all SharePoint 2013 farms, regardless of edition.
    I would leave your DistCache on the WFE, given the App Server likely runs Search. Make sure you install
    AppFabric CU5 and make sure you make the changes as noted in the KB for
    AppFabric CU3.
    You'll need to separately investigate your disk performance issues. Could be poor disk layout, under spec'ed disks, and so on. A detail into the disks that support SharePoint would be valuable (type, kind, RPM if applicable, LUNs in place, etc.).

  • Read-Through Caching with expiry-delay and near cache (front scheme)

    We are experiencing a problem with our custom CacheLoader and near cache together with expiry-delay on the backing map scheme.
    I was under the assumption that it was possible to have an expiry-delay configured on the backing-scheme and that the near cache object was evicted when backing object was evicted. But according to our tests we have to put an expiry-delay on the front scheme too.
    Is my assumption correct that there will not be automatic eviction on the near cache (front scheme)?
    With this config, near cache is never cleared:

    Hi Jakkke,
    The Near Cache scheme allows to have configurable levels of cache coherency from the most basic expiry based cache to invalidation based cache to data versioning cache depending on the coherency requirements. The Near Cache is commonly used to achieve the performance of replicated cache without losing the scalability aspects of replicated cache and this is achieved by having a subset of data (based on MRU or MFU) in the <front-scheme> of the near cache and the complete set of data in the <back-scheme> of near cache. The <back-scheme> updates can automatically trigger events to invalidate the entries in the <front-scheme> based on the invalidation strategy (present, all, none, auto) configured for the near cache.
    If you want to expire the entries in the <front-scheme> and <back-scheme>, you need to specify an expiry-delay on both the schemes as mentioned by you in the last example. Now if you are expiring the items in the <back-scheme> for the reason that they get loaded again from the cache-store but the <front-scheme> keys remain same (only the values should be refreshed from the cache store) then you need not set the expiry-delay on the <front-scheme> rather mention the invalidation-strategy as present. But if you want to have a different set of entries in <front-scheme> after a specified expiry delay then you need to mention it in the <front-scheme> configuration.
    The near cache has the capability to keep front scheme and back scheme data in sync but the expiry of entries is not synced. Always, front-scheme is a subset of back-scheme.
    Hope this helps!

  • Error 1920. Service 'Windows Font Cache Service' (FontCache) failed to start

    Hi,
    I've been trying for weeks now to try to get Office Professional Plus 2013 to install on Windows 8 Pro. My system has been running perfectly otherwise.
    When I try to install Office 2013, I get the following message (excerpt from log file):

    I have tried everything I can think of, and everything on every thread I've found on related topics. No luck. If I try to start the service myself via services.msc I get the following message:
    The Windows Font Cache Service service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some Services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs. Any assistance anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi micrey! It works! 
    1. Type “services.msc” into the Start Search
    bar and hit Enter.
    2. Find the Windows Font Cache Service, select
    it and hit “Stop”.
    3. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to “C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local”
    requires admin privileges
    4. Delete the FontCache dat files. (They will
    be regenerated over time.)
    5. Restart the Windows Font Cache Service.
    Thank you!

  • Difference between Crystal Report and Xcelsius ?

    Hi,
    I am newbie to CR and Xcelsius. In most of the articles I read about CR and Xcelsius, I could not understand the difference between these two. Can anyone tell me in simple technical language whats the difference ?
    Also, does Xcelsius works only with Excel sheet ? Whats about pulling data frm Mysql to show data ?
    Thanks,
    Prashant

    Hi Prashant,
    Xcelsius is a dashboarding tool. In its simplest format it takes data from an Excel sheet and displays it graphically. It is possible to import live data into Xcelisus, primarily through Web service connections and Excel XML maps. It produces swf files (flash).
    Crsytal Reports is a toll for building reports. These are reports typically laid out in a header, detail footer format, though there is a high level of control over the display. Crystal Reports will connect to almost anything, Relational DBs, Excel, XML data. Business Objects Universes. You can imbedd Xcelsius swf files into Crystal Reports.
    In summary, CR is for reporting and Xcelsius is for dashboarding
    Try help.sap.com and business objects for the product overview documents.
    Regards

  • Authentication to CR and Xcelsius

    Hi All,
    What authentication mechanisms are supported by Crystal reports and Xcelsius when connected to Web Serves, i.e. WSE3.0/WCF etc
    In what scenarions Win AD will work for Crystal reports and Xcelsius.
    Is it possible to setup WinAD SSO for custom .net Web services from Crystal Reports and for Xcelsius.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    web services can be set up with vintela SSO (look up key words liveoffice SSO on SAP notes). This will work for live office and qaaws (3.1).
    Crystal and Xcelsius can consume WSDL's made in qaaws but this will not enable SSO for the client. Currently SSO to Crystal and Xcelsius clients is not supported.
    Regards,
    Tim

  • Forms/Reports: Role of the Database cache and Web cache

    Hello oracle experts,
    I am running a purely Forms and Reports based environment (9iAS).
    My question are:
    a. Is it possible to use features from the Web Cache and
    Database Cache to boost the performance of my applications?
    b. Are all components monitorable from the OEM?
    Please guide me so that i can configure my OEM to monitor my
    forms and reports services.
    thanks in advance for your reply
    Kind regards
    Yogeeraj

    Hi BradW,
    The way this is supposed to be done in Web Cache is by keeping separate copies of a cached page for different types of browsers distinguished by User-Agent header.
    In case of cache miss, Web Cache expects origin servers to return appropriate version of the page based on browser type, and the page from the origin server is just forwarded back to browser.
    Here, if the page is cacheable, Web Cache retains a separate copy for each type of User-Agent header value.
    And when there is a hit on this cached page, Web Cache returns the version of page with the User-Agent header that matches the request.
    Check out the config screen titled "Header Association" for this feature.
    About forwarding requests to different origin servers based on User-Agent header value, Web Cache does not have such capability.

  • Issue bringing up Shared Services and Planning

    Hi guys,
    We have added 3 new MSAD to our Shared Services for user authentication, previously we already had 2 setup and working fine.
    Now that we added the 3 new ones, we restarted Planning and Shared services and now it doesn't come back up.
    We see the following error message on the logs:
    2009-11-27 17:05:09,702 [Thread-23] WARN com.hyperion.css.spi.impl.msad.MSADCacheUpdater.updateUserCache(Unknown Source) - Ignoring User. Error getting User for User Cache:[LDAP: error code 32 - 0000208D: NameErr: DSID-031001CD, problem 2001 (NO_OBJECT), data 0, best match of:

         'DC=IL,DC=xx,DC=Corp'
    These "xx" we are just using because of the company name but it has the right name
    That's the security log for Shared Services.
    Do you have an idea of what I can do either to bring it up with the new MSAD or delete the newly created and bring it back up?
    Thanks in advance

    Usually your MSAD admins will have a master domain setup that has access to all geographic specific domains. You would have a user setup in this higher level domain
    Let's say you have the following setup:
    na.ad.co.com
    sa.ad.co.com
    eme.ad.co.com
    jp.ad.co.com
    cn.ad.co.com
    You would just need one domain setup at ad.co.com with a user who has read access to that directory. The way Shared Services security is setup you may need to re-provision some users with that new global provider and I highly recommend using a group filter -- your group filter can be in any of the domains just all users would need to be added to it in that domain.
