BW Statistics for aggregate usage

Hello experts,
can some one guide me on how the BW Statistics cube can be used to count
1> the "No. of times an aggregate was used by the
queries" .
2> The % of the query users who hit a particular
aggregate in a month
A query on the cube '0BWTC_C02' with
0TCTIFCUBE(InfoCube) in rows and
0TCTSTAUIK(Frequency ) in coulumns doesn't yield the correct result for my aggregate.
Is this the right way of getting the "No. of times an aggregate was used by the queries" or is there any other option.
I'm aware that i can indirectly get these details from RSDDSTAT, but not sure how to use BW Statistics cube for getting this information.
Please help
Best Regards,
Sanjay

I don't see where the aggregate cube name is even captured in this cube. Personally, I think the whole BW Statistics thing comes up a little short of what it needs to be.
RSDDSTAT is the only place I am aware of being able to get what you are looking for. Haven't tried it, but you should be able to setup an Infoset on it for Bex reporting, or just download the data to Excel or Access as you probably have been doing. Or create your own statistics ODS/Cube that does capture what you need.
Keep in mind, an InfoCube with multiple aggregates could have more than one aggregate used by a user query but only one aggregate will be captured in RSDDSTAT.

Statistics for bookmark usage

Hi All -
When a user runs a report through bookmark, will that instance be logged into the BW Stat Tables? Most of our bookmarks force the users to enter variable values each time bookmark is called upon. So these executions are as good as executing the query. But the preliminary study shows that the bookmark executions are not being logged into RSDDSTAT tables. Is this true ? If YES, are there any other tables that give us details about the bookmark usage (like number of times the bookmark is executed, average execution time etc...). Any help is highly appreciated.

The statistics for this MP are not turned on hence they did not show up. But any query executions through bookmarks are showing up as navigations instead of executions.

Statistics for cube aggregates - Urgent Help Please

Hi,
I need the data about, how much time it takes for aggregate fill and rollup of an infocube. I tried to get the same from RSDDSTATAGGR table. I could get the data from this, but this table does not store the data for all the aggregates. I guess after BI 7 this table is replaced by some other table.
Could you please let me know the new table which stores the latest aggregate data of an infocube.
Thanks for your help.

Aggregates usage

gurus
i have to evaluate all my aggregates in production and get rid of few of them.
questions what i have is
when was the last time any query actually accessed my aggregate?
what are the queries which actually use this aggregate?
we do have statistics cubes active. i used the standard Aggregate usage query but i am not convienced with the data. it actually shows only one query has used my aggregate
i am trying to get information from RSDDSTAT and RSDDSTATAGGR tables but i am able to understand which of the available fields will answer my question
can anyone help me out please. would be great if you can be more specific
thanks

Are your queries on multiproviders? I believe some of what gets captured for multiproviders has changed over versions and SPs, but not all aggregate usage gets logged in RSDDSTAT. At one point MultiProvider queries that ran in parallel did not log the aggregate, and before that, a MP couldn't use an aggregate. I'm not 100% certain what scenarios get logged, but if you think about it, a MP query could be hitting the multiple aggregates - both aggregates from the different underlying cubes and in some cases, different aggregates on the same cube for different Restricted KF. Since BW is only logging to RSDDSTAT a single entry for that query navigation, it can't possibly reflect the use of multiple aggregates. I believe I saw a while back that indicated that in this case, no aggregate would be included on the record written to RSDDSTAT.
An easy way to confirm this would be to look at the usage counts and last used date/time in the Maintenance for Aggregate window. That will tell you how many times an aggregate has actually been used and the last time it was used. These should give you a confirmation about which ones are being used the most. This, unfortunately, is a total for the aggregate and is not at the query level.
You can compare the usage counts shown in the Maintenance of Aggregate screen (count is from the aggregate's creation/last change) with what you get from RSDDSTAT for the same timeframe. I'll bet that for Multiproviders RSDDSTAT is too low.

Aggregate usage log

Hi,
i'm searching for the table with the information how often a aggregate of an cube is used, like it's displayed
in the RSA1 -> Manage Infocube -> Rollup -> Aggregates.
For all aggregates I get the information like "Last used"; "Usage".
Is this information stored in a table?
Kind regards
Lars

Hi,
The stats table for aggregates are
RSDDSTATAGGR
RSDDSTATAGGRDEF
You can also check them.

Aggregate Usage Value

Hi,
Will the Aggregate Usage Value keep increasing as we use it in the query??I used it many times,it only shows the usage value as 1.

RSRT is the best bet here. This will answer you following things:
It allows to Execute & Trace queries in a debug mode with several parameters -
Dont use Aggregates
Dont use buffer
OLAP use
Display SQL etc.
Which Aggregates are being used?
OLAP Cache usage?
Which Statistics is generated?
Hope this helps

Collecting Statistics on iView usage.

We are using WebTrends to track site statistics for all of our web sites, but the one piece of the puzzle we are missing is being able to track iView usage on our portals (EP6 SP2 and EP6 SP9).
WebTrends provides software that tracks statistics via a javascript include file, and we are trying to determine if there is one place we could put this javascript - either include it in another javascript file, or a page, that is used by all the iViews.
Is there such a place (thing, file, etc...)? Or is there some other solution that SAP provides that would help us track iView usage? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
I've used WebTrends some years ago, but solely the log file analysis.
For a certain iView, for sure you can include some JS; it's mainly the question if you have the source code under your control or if it's an iView delivered by SAP as portal standard iView (then you would have to decompile / add / compile / redeploy; but loosing everything when an update gets deployed).
There is also here in the download section the "Portal Activity Reporting" (Downloads -- Developer or Administrator Tool -- EP); some people regulary report problems with it, but maybe you could give it a try...
Hope it helps

How to create an explain plan with rowsource statistics for a complex query that include multiple table joins ?

1. How to create an explain plan with rowsource statistics for a complex query that include multiple table joins ?
When multiple tables are involved , and the actual number of rows returned is more than what the explain plan tells. How can I find out what change is needed in the stat plan ?
2. Does rowsource statistics gives some kind of understanding of Extended stats ?

You can get Row Source Statistics only *after* the SQL has been executed. An Explain Plan midway cannot give you row source statistics.
To get row source statistics either set STATISTICS_LEVEL='ALL' in the session that executes theSQL OR use the Hint "gather_plan_statistics" in the SQL being executed.
Then use dbms_xplan.display_cursor

Exporting for Web Usage

Hi. I have no doubt this has been discussed, but am hoping I can get a more concrete answer. I would like to export some shorts to put on my web site. I know there is a balance to be struck between quality and file size, but the choices that can be made with settings leaves me confused.
I am using the latest version of Final Cut Studio Pro. What are best settings based on people's experience to export for web usage? This would ideally be a quicktime file in the end.
Thanks.

I usually use Sorenson 3, quarter screen size and they usually come out pretty manageable. I would use the H.264 codec but I want to be sure all who come to my site and view the Quicktimes and some people don't have QT v.7 yet.
Allow me a shameless plug as well: http://www.scottsimmons.tv/
If you look at any clips on my site and save them as a quicktime movie, then open them an playback in Quicktime player, you can hit command + i and see the movie info where you can see exact specs on each clip. That can give you an idea of quality and file size. It's really an imperfect science.

Disable Statistics for specific Tables

Is it possible to disable statistics for specific tables???

If you want to stop gathering statistics for certain tables, you would simply not call DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS on those particular tables (I'm assuming that is how you are gathering statistics at the moment). The old statistics will remain around for the CBO, but they won't be updated. Is that really what you want?
If you are currently using GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS to gather statistics, you would have to convert to calling GATHER_TABLE_STATS on each table. You'll probably want to have a table set up that lists what tables to exclude and use that in the procedure that calls GATHER_TABLE_STATS.

Should I buy AppleCare Protection with Ipad2 in US, for overseas usage?

Hey guys,
I'm planning the buy the Ipad 2 in the US for my usage in Singapore.
I was advised to get the AppleCare Protection together with the Ipad.
Thing is, would the protection plan still be valid in Singapore even though I bought it in the US?
THANKS!

Do you really need it? I cant say any of my apple stuff ever goes wrong and ive called the telephone support once. Also, do you plan on keeping it for more than a year? Most apple folk tend to get a new decice every year, right around the time their warranty expires?
Its an extended warranty. You can buy the apple care at any time while your device is still under its original 1 year warranty. So if you wait until the end of your year and decide if your going to keep the device, then buy the care, if not then youve saved yourself some cash.
Have a read of their FAQ's. Its global coverage where it will be fixed by a local apple authorized dealer (if there is one). If not you post it off to apple in the US.
