BIA Server Overload, Report terminates

Dear Experts,
We are getting reading data error when execute a report, cause of bia has not enough memory,
"amount of data to be read from the bia server is too large"
How can i check how much memory used from this report via trexadmin tool,
Best Regards,

Hi,
When you run the report, go to TCODE RSDDBIAMON2 and click on 'BIA LOAD MONITOR ACTIVATE' to have look at how the memory parameters change on execution of this report.
You might get this error in below cases :
1. Too much data is extracted
2. Exception aggregation used in the query.
If yes, please redesign your query.
Another option is to implement OSS notes mentioned in thread below:

BIA Server is Overloaded - part2

Good Day,
I know that there is already a thread about this problem, but it seems not to be resolved.
I understand that it could be a problem that the memory is out, but in my case it isn't
My example:
"The problem began when i execute the generation to a InfoCube with 7 billions of records.
In other case, after the overload problem, when i execute the generation of indexes for example 800 Millions records, it executes normal, but if i execute one smaller InfoCube, like 1 million records, then it writes in the log that the server is overloaded and can't continue and so on. Besides the help procedure that it gives, that have to delete all the indexes and restart the BIA server, it doesn't fix the problem."
My question: Is there a way for edit the .ini configuration files from BIA that it could eliminate this error notice or maybe something else?
I have the latest revision BIA v53, 3 Blades with enough memory =))
Thanks in advanced.

Hi, message is misleading.
Step one is and remains to verify the current utilisation through rsddbiamon2 -> trexadmin -> summary tab.
If this shows a value below 50%, have an extra look on the servers tab to check if one or more rfc-server have a high memory utilisation (normal 6 to 9%, in my last troubleshooting I had an rfc server running away with 48% of the memory ...).
When both are checked and no issues, then you can be pretty sure that you're looking into a faulty message, generated by memwatch-program. This program checks the response from all blades. When a blade doesn't return within xx mSec's you will get the message : BIA overloaded.
There can be quite some reasons why the response on memwatch layer is not within the limits : merge operations, intense reporting, reorg operation AND the issue mentioned above with the rfc server (and a loft more ..).
I didn't see the issue yet on version 53 will keep an eye on the customers where I have installed version 53 in the meantime.

Causes for main memory to be unloaded - BIA Server is overloaded

The check on our BIA server is showing "BIA Server is overloaded".
The details indicate that the main memory was unloaded >900 times in the last 24 hours.
I am not aware of any special activities taking place - what would be the cause of the main memory being unloaded so frequently?
The indices only take up 25% of main memory, which is well below the 50% threshold recommended by SAP.
What else might be the cause?
Thanks

Hi Experts,
We are also getting the same Alert / Error in the SAP Net weaver BIA Monitor and we are not able to understand, how to go ahead with the same.
1. The alert we're getting is "BIA server is overloaded". If we click on details it's showing the alert message as "Number of Times Main Memory Was Unloaded in Last 24 Hours: '1064'".
2. We even tried doing a BIA Reorg and Restart activity, but in vain.
Note: I. Before we did the BIA Reorg, the details message was showing as "Number of Times Main Memory Was Unloaded in Last 24 Hours: '2184'".
II. We did a recent SP 22 upgrade and I'm not sure on where to check for the BIA revision?
Any suggestions on this would be really helpful?
Thank You,

BIA server is overloaded

Hi
BIA Server is overloaded with an error ...Returns the number of index attributes per host which was unloaded from memory within a given period of time
thanks
Shail

Well, first you need to check if BWA was sized for all the cubes you have indexed. Then there are only two simple techniques for overload: either increase hardware capacity (by buying additional blades) OR removing some of the least important cubes from BWA. More expensive approach would be to analyze the indexed cube to see if they can be redesigned to decrease their memory footprint, but this is excercise going beyond forum abilities.
Good luck,

BIA Server problem

Hi All,
In the monitor screen,under the details tab i see 'BIA server is overloaded ' but the requests are rolled up and available for reporting.
will it have an impact on the data in the reporting??
Thanks,
V.Singh.

Hi,
You have an elevated risk according to BWA best practices. You are receiving this alert because you are using more than 50% of the allocated memory in a given check point ( even if you pay 100% license you are supposed to leave 50% of the memory idle for temp indexes, query joins etc ) . This warning usually comes with many "number of memory unloads in the past 24 hours etc" warnings. But there is practically no impact to your reporting - this claim can be challenged by theoreticians.
You either take a risk and just keep monitoring it so that it won't get worse, or remove a cube or two from BWA. But definitely consider planning "logically partition" your cubes . This will allow you to control the growth of BWA. Say you have a revenue cube; every physical/fiscal year copy the cube to a new cube and start loading to new cube and add the new cube under multiproviders. The next year you remove the oldest cube from BWA and introduce the new one..
Besides this, look at the standalone Python tool to see the peek times. You may be just getting this warning in certain time window e.g while loading data to BWA and running information broadcasting queries at the same time..Or you may be running APD queries that used to cause a lot of issues - i am not sure if it's still the case.
Cheers

Oracle Reports Server CGI - Report Job was cancelled upon user request.

I am running reports on the web through Forms using Run_Report_Object built in. I am using Oracle 9iAS Enterprise Edition Release 1(1.2.2.2.2), Forms 6i Patch 9 (6.0.8.18.3) and Reports 6i Patch 9 (6.0.8.18) using CGI implementation. Most reports are running fine, but I have one that produces 125 pages and we are getting the following messages in the browser:
Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time.
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Report Job was cancelled upon user request.
However if you look at the Reports Server Queue Status thru the browser it shows that the report did finish, but it took 16 minutes. But the user gets the above message in their browser window.
Is there a way to get the first page of the report to display, while the rest of the report finishes, so the browser window doesn't timeout and display the above error?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi ,
There is no limit on the report run time. The most probable reason why you are getting the 'Report cancelled upon user request' message is the users might have hit the "cancel Report" button which is displayed when it is running in 'SYNCHRONOUS MODE'. do not hit that button as it will terminate the report. to increase the speed of returning the results by the report, try improving the sql that you use in the report, or if you have DBA rights try adding in INDEXES on the columns of the tables used by the report.
Hope this helps

BIA Server problem - Data package not consistent

Dear All,
I have a strange issue with my BIA server. When I run the report by selecting top most nodes of the hierarchy.
Report ends up with message: No applicable data, and below error messages
Aggregates of ZFICSC22 were compressed. Data package is not consistent
Error while reading data, navigation is possible
The report works fine when I select the subsequent nodes (immediate lower nodes) of a hierarchy.
The report also works when I execute bypassing the BIA
I have cleaned up all the hierarchy buffer but the problem persists
As of now I am left out with last option which is rebuilding the indexes unless any one of you comes up with a better solution.
Thanks & Regards
Ziya

Hi,
Have you implemented OSS Note 1163991?
There is nothing like data package compression in BIA.

Enqueue replication server does not terminate after failover

Hi,
We are trying to setup high availability of enqueue server where in we have running enqueue server on node-A and ERS on node-B all the time.
Whenever enqueue is stopped on node-A, it automatically failovers on node-B but after replication of lock table, enqueue does not terminate the ERS running on node-B and as a result our enqueue and ERS both keeps running on the same host (Failover node-B) which should not be the case.
We havenu2019t configured polling in that scenario SAP note-1018968 depicts the same however this is applicable only for version-640 and 700.
Ideally when enqueue server switches to node-B, it should terminate the ERS on the same node after replication and then HA software would take care of its restart on node -A.
We have ERS running of version 701; could anyone please let me know if the same behaviour is common for 701 version as well?
Or there is any additional configuration to be done to make it working.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers !!!
Ashish

Hi Naveed,
Stopping ERS is suppose to be taken care by SAP only and not the HA software.
Once ERS stops on node -B there would be a fault reported and as a result HA software will restart the ERS on node A.
Please refer to a section of SAP Note 1018968 - 'Enqueue replication server does not terminate after failover'
"Therefore, the cluster software must only organise the restart of the replication server and does not need to do anything for the shutdown."
Another blog about the same:
http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/veritas-cluster-server-sap
- After the successful lock table takeover, the Enqueue Replication Server will fault on this node (initiated by SAP). Veritas Cluster Server recognizes this failure and initiates a failover to a remaining node to create SAP Enqueue redundancy again. The Enqueue Replication Server will receive the complete Enqueue table from the Enqueue Server (SCS) and later Enqueue lock updates in a synchronous fashion.
So it is nothing about HA software, it is the SAP which should control ERS on node-B.
Cheers !!!

BIA server over load problem

Hi Experts,
I have a problem wih our BIA sever overloaded and hence queries are getting terminated.
I had a check in the BIA monitor we have status red
Check for indexes loaded from the memory
Check size of trace files
BIA server is overloaded
all the above status are red
I am new BIA, can you guys please advise me on this how would I approach this and find a resolution.
Thank you.
Tati

It's difficult to advise on the forum, without seeing the system. And as well permanent fix may not be a one click task.
First thing to do: restart BWA system if possible. This would clean temporary indexes and unused indexes from the RAM. If your sizing was done correctly and you are running into overload issues - open a customer message to SAP Support - this never hurts.
Next thing: to analyze the memory consumption on particular blades, analyze the indexes, put procedures and place and so on.
If you are new to BWA and in charge of supporting it - get on BWA course. There are no shortcuts.

Sql server 2005 reports with sql server 2014

Can i upload SSRS 2005 reports as it is on SSRS 2014 and use it without doing anything extra or without changing anything ??
I can use SSRS 2005 reports as it is with SSRS 2012. But for SSRS 2014 not sure.
h2007

You can upgrade the the RDL schema will be upgraded.
Report definition (.rdl) files are automatically upgraded in the following ways:
When you open a report in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), the report definition is upgraded to the currently supported RDL schema. When you specify a SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2 report server in the project properties, the report
definition is saved in a schema that is compatible with the target server.
When you upgrade a Reporting Services installation to a SQL Server 2014 Reporting Services (SSRS) installation, existing reports and snapshots that have been published to a report server are compiled and automatically upgraded to the new schema the first
time they are processed. If a report cannot be automatically upgraded, the report is processed using the backward-compatibility mode. The report definition remains in the original schema.
Reports are not upgraded when you upload a report definition file directly to the report server or SharePoint site. Upgrading a report definition in SQL Server Data Tools is the only way to upgrade the .rdl file.
After a report is upgraded locally or on the report server, you might notice additional errors, warnings, and messages. This is the result of changes to the internal report object model and processing components, which cause messages to appear when underlying
problems in the report are detected. For more information, see Reporting Services Backward Compatibility.
For more information about new features for SQL Server 2014 Reporting Services (SSRS), see
What's New (Reporting Services).

Export to Excel Error in SQL Server 2014 Report Builder/Viewer

Hi,
I am using the 2014 version of ReportViewer in a WinForm to display an RDL report.
The report was originally created in Report Builder 2.0 (SQL 2008 R2), but has since been edited in Report Builder 3.0 (SQL 2014).
The report loads and displays OK, and even exports to Word and PDF. But when exporting to Excel and then opening the Excel document, the following error occurs:
"We found a problem with some content in <filename>. Do you want us to try and recover as much as we can? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes."
If you click Yes, then a second message appears:
"Removed Part: /xl/styles.xml part. (Styles)
Repaired Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml part"
The Excel document then opens, and the data is there, but there is no formatting (no border columns, colours, bolds etc.)
The three interesting things are:
- When exported from SQL 2008 R2 Report Builder 3.0, which exports to .xsl instead of .xslx, it works
- A brand new report created in 2014 Report Builder 3.0 exports to .xslx great
- In Report Builder 2014, I stripped everything back and removed all rows and columns so the original table in the report only has one empty row and column it the export still errors - it is only by removing the original table and creating a brand new table
that export works OK
It appears to be a problem with the tablix, but ideally we don't want to have to recreate our reports from scratch to fix this issue.
Has anyone come across an issue like this before, and know of any potential resolutions to it?
Thank you.

Hello,
Based on your description, you render a report originally created in Report Builder 2.0 (SQL 2008 R2) and export the report to excel with format of Excel 2007-2010.
Edit the report in Report Builder will not upgrader the report. In that case the report still with SSRS 2008 R2 RDL schema. Please try to upgrade the report by open the report in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) and then try again.
If you don’t want to upgrade the report, please try to export the report
with Excel 2003 rendering extension and check if the issue persists.
The SQL Server 2014 and SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Excel rendering extension renders a report to the native format of Microsoft Excel 2007-2010 with .xlsx as file extension. Only the Excel rendering extension is available by default.
You must update the Reporting Services configuration files to make the Excel 2003 rendering extension available.
For example, changing the value of Visible to
true in the following line in the RSReportServer.config:
<Extension Name="EXCEL" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ExcelRenderer.ExcelRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ExcelRendering"
Visible="true"/>

Is there a way to convert Crystal Reports to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 reporting services?

Post Author: Lourdes Hernandez
CA Forum: General
Our department has always worked with and we love Crystal Reports. Unfortunately, certain reports now need to be converted to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 reporting services which from what I read I think they are *.rdl reports. Does Crystal reports have any way around this? I would have to learn this other tool when I'm already so happy with Crystal. I was thinking If I could just code the report in crystal and export it in a specific format that would be compatible Microsoft, the problem would be solved.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Post Author: bettername
CA Forum: General
Ditto!
There are some software packages to convert from CR to RS, but none work 100% AFAIK, and will require manual tuning.
Seems like a big hassle and learning curve just to get reports published via another method - I know I'd put up huge resistance if they tried to take my CR away from me!

Will the reports developed in sql server 2008 r2 BIDS work when deployed on sql server 2012 reporting manager

Will the reports developed in sql server 2008 r2 BIDS work when deployed on sql server 2012 reporting manager?
when I check on Microsoft site it says
Reports are not upgraded when you upload a report definition file directly to the report server
or SharePoint site. Upgrading a report definition in SQL Server Data Tools is the only way to upgrade the .rdl file.
When you open an .rdl file in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), if the report was
created for a previous namespace, Report Designer automatically creates a backup file and upgrades the report to the current namespace.
This is the only way you can upgrade a report definition file.
Now here is another confusing statement which says
You can upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services to a SQL Server
2012 report server and it is automatically upgraded on first use. The report server stores the report definition file in the original format. The report is automatically upgraded the first time it is viewed, but the stored report definition file remains
unchanged.
All I want to know is if I deploy a rdl made in 2008 r2 to 2012 will it work on the report manager of
2012?
<o:p>
</o:p>
Mudassar

I have tested this fucntionality and can confirm that ssrs 2008 r2 reports work when you deploy them on new ssrs 2012 report manager .
No Migration is required .
I didnt even moved report server dbs .All I did is just deployed reports on the report manager and it worked .
"You
can upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services to a SQL Server 2012 report server and it is automatically upgraded on first use. "
Microsoft needs to correct this the documentation is misleading
