BPM performance question

Guys,
I do understand that ccPBM is very resource hungry but what I was wondering is this:
Once you use BPM, does an extra step decreases the performance significantly? Or does it just need slightly more resources?
More specifically we have quite complex mapping in 2 BPM steps. Combining them would make the mapping less clear but would it worth doing so from the performance point of view?
Your opinion is appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Viktor Varga

Hi,
In SXMB_ADM you can set the time out higher for the sync processing.
Go to Integration Processing in SXMB_ADM and add parameter SA_COMM CHECK_FOR_ASYNC_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT to 120 (seconds). You can also increase the number of parallel processes if you have more waiting now. SA_COMM CHECK_FOR_MAX_SYNC_CALLS from 20 to XX. All depends on your hardware but this helped me from the standard 60 seconds to go to may be 70 in some cases.
Make sure that your calling system does not have a timeout below that you set in XI otherwise yours will go on and finish and your partner may end up sending it twice
when you go for BPM the whole workflow
has to come into action so for example
when your mapping last < 1 sec without bpm
if you do it in a BPM the transformation step
can last 2 seconds + one second mapping...
(that's just an example)
so the workflow gives you many design possibilities
(brigde, error handling) but it can
slow down the process and if you have
thousands of messages the preformance
can be much worse than having the same without BPM

Simple performance question

Simple performance question. the simplest way possible, assume
I have a int[][][][][] matrix, and a boolean add. The array is several dimensions long.
When add is true, I must add a constant value to each element in the array.
When add is false, I must subtract a constant value to each element in the array.
Assume this is very hot code, i.e. it is called very often. How expensive is the condition checking? I present the two scenarios.
private void process(){
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         if (add)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
         else
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
private void process(){
if (add)
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
else
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
       matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
}Is the second scenario worth a significant performance boost? Without understanding how the compilers generates executable code, it seems that in the first case, n^d conditions are checked, whereas in the second, only 1. It is however, less elegant, but I am willing to do it for a significant improvement.

erjoalgo wrote:
I guess my real question is, will the compiler optimize the condition check out when it realizes the boolean value will not change through these iterations, and if it does not, is it worth doing that micro optimization?Almost certainly not; the main reason being that
matrix[i][ii][iii][...] +/-= constantis liable to take many times longer than the condition check, and you can't avoid it. That said, Mel's suggestion is probably the best.
but I will follow amickr advice and not worry about it.Good idea. Saves you getting flamed with all the quotes about premature optimization.

BPM performance improving

Hi everyone
Do someone know if there is a way to improve a BPM performance?
Or how to speed it up?
´
I don´t know, maybe applying a note, setting a parameter, etc...
Thanks in advanced.
Emmanuel

This may sound a bit off-topic but if you guess you have done the apt steps for BPM and still need a performance boost chuck the BPM and go for PROXY
being directly on the ABAP stack it gives a significant performance boost...and going forward I see proxies being used for almost any interface which has a complex logic...
high time to get a hold on ABAP fundamentals
Cheers!!!

Swing performance question: CPU-bound

Hi,
I've posted a Swing performance question to the java.net performance forum. Since it is a Swing performance question, I thought readers of this forum might also be interested.
Swing CPU-bound in sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.eventLoop
http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=1636&tstart=0
Thanks,

You obviously don't understand the results, and the first reply to your posting on java.net clearly explains what you missed.
The event queue is using Thread.wait to sleep until it gets some more events to dispatch. You have incorrectly diagnosed the sleep waiting as your performance bottleneck.

Xcontrol: performance question (again)

Hello,
I've got a little performance question regarding xcontrols. I observed rather high cpu-load when using xcontrols. To investigate it further, I built a minimal xcontrol (boolean type) which only writes the received boolean-value to a display-element in it's facade (see attached example). When I use this xcontrol in a test-vi and write to it with a rate of 1000 booleans / second, I get a cpu-load of about 10%. When I write directly to a boolean display element instead of the xcontrol,I have a load of 0 to 1 %. The funny thing is, when I emulate the xcontrol functionality with a subvi, a subpanel and a queue (see example), I only have 0 to 1% cpu-load, too.
Is there a way to reduce the cpu-load when using xcontrols?
If there isn't and if this is not a problem with my installation but a known issue, I think this would be a potential point for NI to fix in a future update of LV.

soranito

Okay, I think I understand question now. You want to know why an equivalent xcontrol boolean consumes 10x more CPU resource than the LV base package boolean?
Okay, try opening the project I replied yesterday. I don't have access to LV at my desk so let's try this. Open up your xcontrol facade.vi. Notice how I separated up your data event into two events? Go the data change vi event, when looping back the action, set the isDataChanged (part of the data change cluster) to FALSE. While the data input (the one displayed on your facade.vi front panel), set that isDataChanged to TRUE. This is will limit the number of times facade will be looping. It will not drop your CPU down from 10% to 0% but it should drop a little, just enough to give you a short term solution. If that doesn't work, just play around with the loopback statement. I can't remember the exact method.
Yeah, I agree xcontrol shouldn't be overconsuming system resource. I think xcontrol is still in its primitive form and I'm not sure if NI is planning on investing more times to bug fix or even enhance it. Imo, I don't think xcontrol is quite ready for primetime yet. Just too many issues that need improvement.

Question on BPM performance

Hi all
We have two source systems and data will be correlated based on filenames. Scenario is working fine when I test with small amount of file. But as per my interface specification, there might be quite big file (around 25mb) file come in a day. This instance BPM is showing as processing ( clock) symbol even though two files have been received. I noticed that, message is being processed at transformation step for long time. Can any one suggest me how do I handle this case. Can we increase queue size in BPE. All settings are fine in IE admin.
Thanks

Hi Yadagiri,
Your BPM is stuking in the transformation step in it, so increasing the queue size in BPE engine will not help.
Since you have to process large data through your scenario and you are using transformation step in your BPM, so in your mapping,that you are using in transformation step, you need to take care of mappping performance. Your java code in UDF, if any, must be efficient enough. There should not any statement in it that has impact on performance.

MBP with 27" Display performance question

I'm looking for advice regarding improving the performance, if possible, of my Macbook Pro and new 27'' Apple display combination. I'm using a 13" Macbook Pro 2.53Ghz with 4GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics card and I have 114GB of the 250GB of HD space available. What I'm really wondering is is this enough spec to run the 27" display easily. Apple says it is… and it does work, but I suspect that I'm working at the limit of what my MCB is capable of. My main applications are Photoshop CS5 with Camera RAW and Bridge. Everything works but I sometimes get lock ups and things are basically a bit jerky. Is the bottle neck my 2.53Ghz processor or the graphics card? I have experimented with the Open GL settings in Photoshop and tried closing all unused applications. Does anyone have any suggestions for tuning things and is there a feasible upgrade for the graphics card if such a thing would make a difference? I have recently started working with 21mb RAW files which I realise isn't helping. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Matt.

I just added a gorgeous LCD 24" to my MBP setup (the G5 is not Happy) The answer to your question is yes. Just go into Display Preferences and drag the menu bar over to the the 24 this will make the 24 the Primary Display and the MBP the secondary when connected.

Performance question about 11.1.2 forms at runtime

hi all,
Currently we are investigating a forms/reports migration from 10 to 11.
Initialy we were using v. 11.1.1.4 as the baseline for the migration. Now we are looking at 11.1.2.
We have the impression that the performance has decreased significantly between these two releases.
To give an example:
A wizard screen contains an image alongside a number of items to enter details. In 11.1.1.4 this screen shows up immediately. In 11.1.2 you see the image rolling out on the canvas whilst the properties of the items seem to be set during this event.
I saw that a number of features were added to be able to tune performance which ... need processing too.
I get the impression that a big number of events are communicating over the network during the 'built' of the client side view of the screen. If I recall well during the migration of 6 to 9, events were bundled to be transmitted over the network so that delays couldn't come from network roundtrips. I have the impression that this has been reversed and things are communicated between the client and server when they arrive and are not bundled.
My questions are:
- is anyone out there experiencing the same kind of behaviour?
- if so, is there some kind of property(ies) that exist to control the behaviour and improve performance?
- are there properties for performance monitoring that are set but which cause the slowness as a kind of sideeffect and maybe can be unset.
Your feedback will be dearly appreciated,
Greetigns,
Jan.

The profile can't be changed although I suspect if there was an issue then banding the line would be something they could utilise if you were happy to do so.
It's all theoretical right now until you get the service installed. Don't forget there's over 600000 customers now on FTTC and only a very small percentage of them have faults. It might seem like lots looking on this forum but that's only because forums are where people tend to come to complain.

Controlfile on ASM performance question

Seeing Controlfile Enqueue performance spikes, consideration are to move control file to separater diskgroup(need outage) ? or add some disk(from different luns,( i prefer this approach) in the same disk group , seems like slow disk is casing this issue...
2nd question :can snapshot controlfile be placed on ASM storage?

Following points may help:
- Separating the control file to another diskgroup may make things even worse in case that the total number of disks are insufficient in the new disk group.
- Those control file contention issues are usually nothing to do with the storage throughput you have but the number of operations requiring different levels of exclusion on the control files.
- Since multiple copies of controlfiles are updated concurrently a possible, sometimes, problem is that the secondary copy of controlfile is slower than the other. Please check that this is not the issue (different tiers of storage may cause such problems)

Editing stills with motion effects, performance questions.

I am editing a video in FCE that consists solely of still photos.
I am creating motion effects (pans and pullbacks, etc) and dissolve
transitions, and overlaying titles. It will be played back on dvd
on a 16:9 monitor (standard dvd,not blueray hi-def). Some questions:
What is the FCE best setup to use for best image quality: DV-NTSC?
DV-NTSC Anamorphic? or is it HDV-1080i or 720p30 even though it
won't be played back as hi-def?
How do best avoid squiggly line problem with pan moves etc?
On my G-5, 2gb RAM, single processor machine I seem to be having
performance problems with playback: slow to render, dropping frames, etc
Thanks for any help!

Excellent summary MacDLS, thanks for the contribution.
A lot of the photos I've taken on my camera are 3072 X 2304 (resolution 314) .jpegs.
I've heard it said that jpegs aren't the best format for Motion, since they're a compressed format.
If you're happy with the jpegs, Motion will be, too.
My typical project could either be 1280 X 720 or SD. I like the photo to be a lot bigger than the
canvas size, so I have room to do crops and grows, and the like. Is there a maximum dimension
that I should be working with?
Yes and no. Your originals are 7,000,000 pixels. Your video working space only displays about 950,000 pixels at any single instant.
At that project size, your stills are almost 700% larger than the frame. This will tax any system as you add more stills. 150% is more realistic in terms of processing overhead and I try to only import HUGE images that I know are going to be tightly cropped by zooming in. You need to understand that an 1300x800 section of your original is as far as you can zoom in , the pixels will be 100% in size. If you zoom in further, all you get are bigger pixels. The trade off you make is that if you zoom way out on your source image, you've thrown away 75% of its content to scale it to fit the video format; you lose much much more if you go to SD.
Finally, the manual says that d.p.i doesn't matter in Motion, so does this mean that it's worth
actually exporting my 300 dpi photos to 72 dpi before working with them in Motion?
Don't confuse DPI with resolution. Your video screen will only show about 900,000 pixels in HD and about 350,000 pixels in SD totally regardless of how many pixels there are in your original.

File-XI-File BPM Split Question

Iam using BPM to split the 1 file into 2 files. I have to use BPM due to requirement.
Iam sending file to BPM
In BPM:
receive step
transform Step - Here message split is performed
Fork Start
Send Message 1
Send Message 2
Fork End ( end condition is 1=1 )
Stop.
Only 1 file is written and 2nd file no information
When I looked at SXMB_MONI_BPE
Send1 Workflow system logically deleted
Send2 Workflow system completed
I dont know whats happening for Send 1
Where can I look for potential errors ?
In the request message mapping of SXMB_MONI ( 2 payloads are as follows )
1st Payload ( Maindocument ( Application/xml))
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <ns1:MT_State xmlns:ns1="http://www.test.com">

Anyone have any suggestion for me how to fix this issue?
Thanks a lot.

Ram,
Since Iam going to add more process steps ( such as synchronous calls) i really wanted to finsih the sending of both SEND steps in the FORK. If I dont give end condition, am I sure that those SENDS are processed before next process step following fork ?
BPM will come out of FORK only when all steps in all branches are executed succesfully.
If you give an END condition to the fork, then this is used when you are not sure for how long the steps in the fork should run, and so on.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/24/e2283f2bbad036e10000000a114084/content.htm
+You use a fork () when you want to continue a process in branches that are independent of each other, for example, to communicate with two systems that are independent of each other. The branches of the fork join in a union operator.
You can specify the required number of branches and then define whether the process must run through all branches, or just a particular number of branches. Furthermore, you can define an end condition for the fork (see also: Condition Editor).
As soon as a branch reaches the union operator at runtime, the system checks the following conditions in the specified order:
· The process has run through the required number of branches
· The specified end condition has returned true
The step is complete as soon as one of the conditions returns true.+
Earlier when you gave condition as 1=1 one of the steps was executed and it came out of the fork. So, do no give any condition and it will execute all steps in the FORK and come out as you want.

Bhavesh

BPM design question

Hello folks,
I have this requirement and I have designed a BPM for the same, I would appreciate if you could give me any improvements/suggestions:
Req: Receive a message from Sender A the message has a transaction ID associated to it, Send the message to Receiver B and from then on wait an Hour to receive an acknowledge from Receiver B for that transaction. if no ack is received then shoot a mail to the users saying that the transaction didn't make it through. If success don't do anything, Just end the process.
Design:
1. Recv step (to receive the message/ start the BPM)
2. Send Step (to reciever B to send the message )
3. Block --- Block has the following a. Receive step (to receive the ACK from Receiver B) b. Deadline Branch (with a wait time of 1 hour) Inside the Deadline branch there is a Send Step to send Email followed by a Control step to end the process.
Thank you! I would appreciate a betterment in design

In my opinion, this is not a very good design. Keeping open a BPM instance for 1 hour is not recommended. In case you have hundreds or thousands of such messages coming in, it would badly hit the performance.
You haven't mentioned which kind of system is your receiver system. You may think about the following parameters:
1. What is taking so much time to send the ack?
2. Could this ack be sent later as an async interface?

Prateek

File Adapter Acknowledgement in BPM - NEW Question

This is in cntinuation of my earlier question:
File Adapter Acknowledgement in BPM
Now I understand that the send step should wait to get the acknowledgement from file adapter.
As I understand This ack may be +ve or -ve.
<b>So my question is how do we test for + ve acknowledgement in the next step / switch?</b>
Thanks,
HImadri

hi,
in condition editor of this switch step you need to choose technical objects
and check it they = true
for sender apps
you can also use Main/MessageClass field
have a look at the bottom of this page to
check their values:

BPM Performance monitoring

Hi experts,
I would like to monitorize the performance of my BPMs. I want to know how much each BPM last. This information it's available in SXMB_MONI -> PE, there I can know that by watching to begining and end of each singular process. 1.-How can I achieve to watch this information for many processes? (RTWB??) I'm sending tests of 10, 100 and 1000 process so its not nice going to SXMB_MONI -> PE for each one.
By the way I'm having performance problems when sending a lot of them. 2.-Do you know if theres is any way of improve the performance? (like having a Queue of processes or similar)
Regards
Gonzalo

Goncalo,
This is what i did when i had to do a BPM perf analysis..just pasting my notes here...
1) go to moni, set your filters to find your complete roundtrip for the message..go to your outbound column, click on PE, Calculate the time difference between the first and the last entry..
Repeat this for several of the msgs to get a mean time..once you have a time..then you can start breaking down this into why and where its taking time...then analyze the bpm.
Check if any one particular step ..has the time it takes ..going up, check specifically the transformations..are they taking too much time..
Log into your xi server..run transactin ST03N, there switch to expert mode..filter in your time for the msgs...remember the user doing all this is always wf-batch..., Here you can analyze the load created by the bpe engine..
let me know if you need more info..

SAP XI BPM Performance and statistics

Hello all,
I am currently working on an integration using the BPM process within XI. During our initial testing, we noticed that, when it comes to the BPM process, XI takes too long to process a message. The actual size of the payload is really small and there is not much to the BPM process.
For example, I create one BPM process that takes a message and splits the message into separate documents for each target application and pass it on to another BPM process. The second process takes the message and changes its format to what is expected by the receiving application. It calls the target system and waits for a response.
Sender     Recv'r     Begin       End        End - Begin
SAPPRG     Split     11:29:46 11:31:01 74.810089

     Total                0:06:14 1.907142533
We also noticed some gaps b/w a message been send and receive steps within XI. I would like to know if there is any statistics on XI performance when it comes to processing messages within the BPM process and/or some documentation on how to improve performance using BPM.
Please, advise
Thanks..

Hi,
Checklist to use BPM-

https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000592892005E.PDF
If you are using Correlation etc, then try to use Local Correlation. SO that you can avoid the scope of the correlation to the entire process. By default it will be for entire process. Even you can make use Block step and try to group related steps and give the scope of the steps for the block.
Hope this helps,
