Bug running Report 'Top SQL by Waits'

When I open Report 'Top SQL by Waits' in 'All Reports', 'Database Administration', 'Top SQL' I get an error message:
*'No query found for version of the selected database'*
After clicking OK and entering e.g. '30' for the bind variable 'minutes' I get
'ORA-00904': "SQL_ID": invalid identifier ....
It seems that there is no such report defined for Oracle 9.
I tried to start the report using versions 1.5.5 and 2.1.0.63 getting the same error message

Getting zero-sized reply error when running report from SQL query

Hi,
I have a Report from SQL Query in Portal. When I select Excel in Output Format and then run the report, it works properly, but when I select HTML in Output Format, the report works if the rows returned are not so many (I've been able to display the report for up to 701 rows), but when I try selecting a value from the LOV that selects many rows, I get the following error:
ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL: <data suppressed>
The following error was encountered:
Zero Sized Reply
Squid did not receive any data for this request.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Why does the number of rows returned affect the report this way?
Thanks,
Lorena

Problem comes when any of the filter is applied in any one of the cases selected from the GUI.Do you mean that the problems only shows when you run the report in your browser via 9iAS?
Which version are you using?
Can you post the before report trigger?

Identifying long running reports via SQL

I need to generate a list of reports which took longer than a specified duration threshold to run, and I am trying to build a Query Builder select statement which compares the start and execution end time of report instances.
I see from CMC Instance Manager Instance Details Start Time, End Time, and Expiry; comparing to the SQL accessed object properties SI_SCHEDULEINFO.SI_STARTTIME and SI_SCHEDULEINFO.SI_ENDTIME the end time maps to the CMC viewed 'Expiry' which doesn't help me, where can I select the value displayed in the CMC viewed Instance Details End Time from?
To state it another way: In Central Management Console - Instance Manager it is possible to filter on "Completion Time". I am looking for the DB object and attribute where this value is stored.

You can get this data from instance Manager also.
Open Instance manager through Chrome, filter it based on your requirement.
Select the Data and copy it.
Paste it in Excel .
You will get the exact data in the same format in excel

Run Report from PL/SQL with branch to different page

I have an application in which, at various points, I run a PL/SQL procedure to perform an action, and then need to run a report while also navigating away from the current page. The actions are executed on a button click.
I have tried various method, but for the life of me cannot get the system to do both things (ie. run the report and branch to another page). I have tried putting in a branch to page 0 (to execute after processing on the button click), with a request line to print the report, followed by a branch to the other page (also to execute after processing on the button click) - and only the branch to page 0 actually executes. Also tried putting a branch to the other page only, with the print request in the Request parameter - but only runs the report, does not branch to the other page.
I have also tried to put the call to run the report into the PL/SQL code, using utl_http.start_request(url), but that came up with a "Bad Request" error. Also tried using the owa_util.redirect_url call, but also no luck.
I am pulling my hair out at the moment, mainly because I am under pressure to deliver the system in very short time.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can run Report queries from their URL ( f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=<REPORT NAME>)
So an approach would be to
On Button click, call a JS function that
<li>1. uses Ondemand/Callback process to do the workflow processing(check box selection records)
<li>2. opens the Report as a popup window(from your IR page)
<li>3. Redirect away from the IR page to another page?
Another approach:
<li>1. IR report submits the page
<li>2. In the PLSQL block you do the processing
<li>3. The branch redirects to a URL which would point to the Report URL.
OR
<li>3. Have an onload JS which runs only when the request was the BUTTON request and that opens up a page which points to the report.
Yet another way would be to use htp.p within the PLSQL block that does the workflow processing
So your PLSQL code would be
BEGIN
--Do the workflow processing here
--End workflow processing
htp.p('<script>');
htp.p(' window.open("f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=<REPORT NAME>"'); --opens up the PDF report
htp.p(' window.location.href= "f?p=&APP_ID.:<page number>:&SESSION."'); --to redirect to new page
htp.p('</script>');
END;

Run report from PL/sql procedure

Please any one tell how to I run a report from pl/sql procedure.

I am not sure, but depending on your environment you can create a script to run your PL/SQL code and then generate the report. As is customary in an UNIX environment utilizing shell scripts.

Emailing Top SQL report metrics

I have performance monitoring configured on a database using 10g Em grid control. Is there a mechanism through which I could email the 'Top SQL' page that we get to see using EM? Ideally I would like to come up with the sql that EM uses to get the top SQL for a particular 24 hour period. Based on what I found, most of the information is in perfstat.stats$sql_summary. Has anyone done this before, and if so, could you share the sql script.?
Thanks,
Sunil.

Hello Alan,
Thank you very much for your answer. I implemented you solution as follows: I programmed a job exactly as you said and then I created a custom report which diplayed the 'output' column from mgmt$job_step_history. Unfortunately, although the 'output' column is CLOB and displays very nicely in any sql developing tool, when included in a report it seems that Information Publisher takes all the end-of-line out of it and thus it is displayed horribly, with no "enters"... Maybe if i used some pl/sql i would somehow manage to trick Information Publisher into displaying end-of-line characters...
In the end, i will use one of the two workarounds:
- program a job just like you said and set Grid control to notify me by email when succeded; this also includes the job's output, and so I can get the Top SQL reports via email. If more than one people would have to be notified by this, an email group would have to be set up by the email administrators in the company, and also a new user in grid control (a simple administrator with view privileges on the target, no super-user is necesary) with a notification rule that would send emails on succeed for the programmed job(s).
- send the output of the ADDM report per email from the target db - the grid control is no longer involved; the steps are:
select task_name tname from dba_advisor_tasks where created = (select max(created) from dba_advisor_tasks);
SELECT dbms_advisor.get_task_report('&addm_task_name', 'TEXT', 'TYPICAL') FROM dual;
Send the result by email. See Note 730746.1.
Thanks a lot,
Ana.

Long Running Reports

I'm now writing some reports that are slow running. I've tuned the sql, however because the volume of data being returned and the complexity of the report queries the reports will likely never run faster then ~30 seconds.
I'm using the ApEx advanced reporting (BIP) and ApEx version 3.0.1.
What are some thoughts on how to best implement long running reports?
Thanks,
Todd

Hi Dimitri,
You asked...
What happens when you run the report directly from BI
Publisher?There are several reports from one application. I've run the report queries in OEM SQL Tuning Advisor and tuned them.
I have not seen a noticeable difference in run times between submitting the reports from APEX or running them from BIP. The queries for these reports have the same run time when run through SQL Developer.
The slow run time of the report queries can be traced to poor table design. The application is a bit of legacy application with the front end now being rewritten using APEX. The poor table design issues are magnified by the volume of data. I have plans to partition one of the transaction tables.
Prior to rewriting the user interface in APEX the application was written in Oracle Forms. When written in Forms the application was a bolt-on to the Oracle applications. In that environment users could submit reports to the run in the background (via Concurrent Manger) then the report output was viewed later following the completion of the report.
I'm pursuing a similar solution as the concurrent manager in Oracle applications but available in the APEX, BIP environment. The reports do run between 30 seconds to 1 minute which is to long for the users to wait on the submitting page. Any thoughts on how it is possible to run these long running reports without tying up the user’s page?
I'll investigate dbms_scheduler and BIP APIs. I know BIP also has a scheduler available but I do not know much about it.
Thanks,
Todd

I can no longer run reports of my client computers

RDC 3.2.2 I recently need to run some reports of all my client computers. First, I attempted to run report of several computers. It never got beyond "Waiting for report data", so, I attepted to do separate clients, one at a time. Same result. All users are upgraded to the current client. Users are on a 1000BaseT network. Thought it may be 10.5.6 update related, but not all of my users are on Leopard. I have testing a variety of different clinet configs and I cannot generate a report.

Starting on May 29th, 2008, I noticed that some of the computers that have been added to ARD were showing up with their IP address as 0.0.0.0. Some of the systems could have reports done for them while other would not. At the time, out of 140 computers currently listed, only 120 returned reports.
After troubleshooting I called Apple to attempt to figure out where this problem may reside. Apple indicated that the IP numbers would get zeroed out when another device takes over the IP address of the client computer. This made sense since we were setup via DHCP. They could not determine why the reporting was not functioning without further troubleshooting through Enterprise support. This would require funding to get additional support.
On January 22nd, 2009 I called Apple support back and started the support via their Enterprise support. The technician asked if we were using spanning tree with our network switches. I verified with the network team that we are using multicast spanning tree for Semantic Ghost. The technician also asked that I set up ARD on another test computer to see if the problem occurs with that system as well.
On February 5th I setup both a second system for ARD Admin and a test client computer. In Mid February I set up the SQL database used by ARD to be accessed but other applications, such as a PHP webpage. This would allow me to see what information was in the database without needing to use ARD admin.
By March 5, I had completed my tests and determined that the information is still being lost using this second computer setup. Keep in mind that the test client computer had been turned off by mid February so its network IP number would be release for another device to use. A few days before I had created a second account on the test ARD admin computer and re-imported the original list of systems used when this test started. This second account did not have the ARD test client computer added into ARD admin. This would allow for reports to be collected for a few days on this system. I then went back to the original account for ARD admin on March 5 and attempted to run the report for the test client. In ARD admin I was not able to acquire any report information. I was, however, able to see the data using the PHP webpage I have created earlier.
I called Apple back to continue troubleshooting this problem. Remember that we had paid for support for this problem, $199. The technician indicated that the case had been resolved and closed. I explained that the issue was not resolved and troubleshooting was still ongoing. The technician remained adamant that the case was resolved and would not open a new case for further support.
I spoke with my Technical Director in regards to this. We both called Apple Enterprise support back to see if we could get further support for this unresolved issue. The technician did give us a bit of support, however, he continued to insist that we were adding the client computers in via IP and this was causing our problems. We explained exactly how we have been adding computers into ARD admin; by scanning them through our network and dragging them to the main list, not by adding them by direct IP. The technician then continued to be unclear as to how to go about correcting this situation of lost data. He indicated that when the client computer's IP was taken over by another device the only way to get the client to report again was to remove and re-add the client back in.
According to the document "ARD 3.1 Admin Guide.pdf"; Chapter 8 page 104, in the section titled "Installing Software on Offline Computers", paragraph 2, it states "When the client comes online, it contacts the Task Server and notifies it of its network state and any setting changes (like a DHCP-assigned IP address change)." Even after reading this statement to the technician he still was not clear as to why the client computers did not update their IP information correctly (from their current 0.0.0.0 IP) when reconnected back to the network.
Because information is continuing to become lost Apple Remote Desktop is not meeting the needs of our department and the community college for tracking the Macintosh hardware currently in use. It may take an extended time to retrieve requested information if this data does not get reported on in ARD admin. Currently, one of my coworkers is in the process of creating a whitepaper to include alternatives for asset management for the Macintosh community.

Custom Data Provider Not Registered in Report Server (Sql Server 2012)

We have a simple test report project set up and can preview the reports with no errors or problems from the designer. We can deploy the report project, but when trying to view the reports from the browser, we get the following error:
An error as occurred during report processing, (rsProcessingAborted)
An attempt has been made to use a data extension 'LiMeDAS' that is either not registered for this report server or is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. (rsDataExtensionNotFound)
I have followed this article that explained how to register a data provider extension:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/bb326409.aspx
I have placed the assemblies in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.LIMEDAS\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin
Added the following line to the rsreportserver config file (inside the <extensions><data> tags)
<Extension Name="LiMeDAS" Type="Limedas.Data.Provider.LimedasConnection,Limedas.Data.Provider"/>
and finally added the following to the rssrvpolicy config file (inside the top level CodeGroup tag):
<CodeGroup class="UnionCodeGroup" version="1" PermissionSetName="FullTrust" Name="LiMeDASDataProviderCodeGroup" Description="Grants permission to the LiMeDAS data processing extension for reporting services.">
<IMembershipCondition class="UrlMembershipCondition" version="1" Url="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.LIMEDAS\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin\Limedas.Data.Provider.dll"
/>
</CodeGroup>
We have the data extension set up perfectly for the designer, because I can see it as a type of connection and the preview works in the designer.
But, for some reason it does not work in the server. They were set up the same way, but the server will not work. From the report manager page, when we try to add a data source, the only type option is Sql Server, none of the other extensions mentioned in
the config file. Does anyone know what else could cause this issue?

Hi Justin,
According to the error message and the issue can be caused by the edition of your SSRS is not support for the custom data provider. For example the express edition have limitation support on this:
Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2012 .
If your edition is the supportted edition and the issue can be caused by the custom data provider do not necessarily support all the functionality supplied by Reporting Services data processing extensions. In addition, some OLE DB data providers and ODBC
drivers can be used to author and preview reports, but are not designed to support reports published on a report server. For example, the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Jet is not supported on the report server. For more information, see
Data Processing Extensions and .NET Framework Data Providers (SSRS).
If you are running on a 32-bit platform, the data provider must be compiled for a 32-bit platform. If you are running on a 64-bit platform, the data provider must be compiled for the 64-bit platform. You cannot use a 32-bit data provider wrapped with 64-bit
interfaces on a 64 bit platform.

Sql for top sql

Dear DBAs
Application team has asked me to provide TOP Sql statements in testing database which can help them to improve code. Developer gave OEM top sql example from his last job.
Currently I do not have OEM installed. I am on 10.2.0.1.0 . I was thinking
to create a job to run sql and email everyday.
What sql can I use to generate that report ? What does OEM reports on when it show TOP Sql ?
Thanks

OEM will show you TOP sql by different catogories (each of which can be sorted) such as:
Disk Reads Per Execution
Buffer Gets Per Execution
Executions
Disk Reads
Buffer Gets
Buffer Gets Per Row
Buffer Cache Hit Ration
Sorts
Shareable memory
Rows Processed
CPU Time
Elapsed Time
Now having said that....just because the TOP sql statement is the TOP sql statement does not mean that anything needs tuned. Your developers should be examining their SQL using insite gained from reading articles and documentation.
Tuning use explain plan:

ADDM Findings Top SQL Statements

Hi,
I have run addmrpt.sql for 1 month of time using snapshots and every ADDM report says that sql statement having id **** listed under top sql statements findings and recommendation is to tune using sql tunning advisor. It has 2-4 seconds elapsed time.But when i go through AWR report instance efficiency report and all are normal.
Can anyone please confirm whether I should recommend to tune this SQL statement to my vendor ?
Thanks,
TK

below is the sql I found in ADDM. As I understood it is an intername SQL not an application SQL. When i searched it in internet found that it is related with check_oracle_health plugin. can you please help me to understand this nagios concept and the relationship it has with oracle software. And also how should I identify which methods we are using to monitor database internally?

Top sql elasped time, how true is that

hi guys,
i am viewing an addm report and is concern about a top sql activity.
i have an sql having top elasped time.
<i>
2,372      2,275      128,690,535      0.00      4.28      fphtjnquzzpud      [email protected] (TNS V1-V3)      SELECT USER_ID FROM SUBSCRIBER...
</i>
q1) what is the meaning of elasped time ?
the time taken per execution of an sql statement ?
q2) is the elasped time in the report shown above = sum of all the the elapsed time per execution of the sql ?
if that the case, the most/frequently i run a SQL statement, the higher the elasped time it will be and thus higher db time.
but how can we say that it is an inefficient sql since it has the most elasped time just because it is run way too frequently then other sqls ?
Please advise
Regards,
Noob

Top SQL's vs. Longops

I'm trying to understand the difference vs TOP SQL statement vs. what is showing up in the longops table. I pull a report showing my top 25 SQL statements but yet when I look at the long ops table the statements taking more this 1 minute are different then what shows up as my top SQL.
What should I be spending my time tuning whats in the long ops or my top SQL statements?

Top sql shows in the statspack or AWR report shows the top sql during the time period for which you run the report.
e.g if you run report for 4-5 pm,it will show the sql which consumes most resources(CPU,gets,reads etc)
V$session_longops This view displays the status of various operations that run for longer than 6 seconds (in absolute time). These operations currently include many backup and recovery functions, statistics gathering, and query execution, and more
operations are added for every Oracle release."You can also set rows in this view using the procedure dbms_application_info.set_session_longops"

sqlexecprogression_cost with the description: "sql execution progression monitoring cost threshold" and the default value of 1,000
cost = 1000 equates to elapsed time = 6 seconds

Script to kill long running reports in OBIEE

Hi
I have requirement to kill long running reports . I am using OBIEE version 10.1.3.4.0 which has a bug where it is not taking query limits governor and the reports are not getting killed if i am setting that parameter in RPD.
Oracle support has advised me to upgrade to next version, but for now, i cannot upgrade.
Can anyone suggest me script to run on obiee app server that can kill long running reports on obiee and database server.
I have AIX server and all reports run on database with same functional ID that is being used for ETL as well to Analytics database.
