Calc Scripts run a lot faster after I copy existing database

Hi,
I have user being setup as the Application Designer of the application and each time when he run scripts of the database, it takes a lot longer than myself (I'm the Supervisor). The database was built up from scratch, so it is not database copy version. Could this be user specific problem?
Today, I create another copy of the database within the same application, create a new Scenario, load data, run multiple similar scripts and the time to run all scripts were alot faster when I run from initial database. Is this a coincidence or the performance has indeed improved?
Your advice is much appreciated!
Between, Im running on Essbase 7.1.3.0
Thank you

So are you saying you are the one to run the scripts after initial DB load?
What are the index and page size before and after you run the scirpts?
It is somewhat normal for the inital dataload and agg to run faster than subsequent runs of the agg, this is because typically inital data load is level 0 only members. The agg of the database will then create blocks for upper level members, thereby increasing the DB size. So there are more index entries, as well as blocks to parse thru.
That being said, if there is considerable increase in agg time, there may be more to address (fragmentation, block size, dynamic calc on sparse members, etc).

Scripts running a lot?

I have a problem with scripts running a lot.They hang up my page when i'm trying to search or navigate for stuff.A box will come up saying "long running script"..Is this normal because of the browser doing stuff or is it something else?

Hello SK
All your workflows, assignments and validation will be lost in new repository.
Moreover, for exclude problem with starting repository on new environment you should do next steps.
1)If some WF in process you should develop some application that will get record_id and current WF step(or do it manually) and save that information before start your migration activity.
2)after that you should delete all WF(and its history), assignment, validation.
Congratulation, you are ready to start migration.
I'm not sure that your unix script can manage mdm syndication server, only if that script run some application working with SAP MDM API.
In that case you should modify application because in SAP MDM API 5.5 and 7.1 is different.
To Clix application - in SAP MDM 7.1 has been added some changes in command string notation.

Calc Script runs slow one day and fast the next?

We are on Essbase 11.1.2.1. When we run calc scripts to load our actuals and run some allocation scripts, the difference in running time for the same exact script is very different day to day. One day three hours the next 45 minutes. Our servers are just for Essbase. We are on Windows 2008 R2. Has anyone else run into this or have any idea how we could figure out the reason for this. Thanks.

Thanks. In that case, I would try to grab the cube statistics - especially number of upper-level and input blocks, compression ratio and fragmentation (in EAS you can only see one of the two fragmentation statistics, 'Average Clustering Ratio', not 'Average Fragmentation Quotient') before each run, just to see if they're varying wildly. Also, if your calc scripts log summary information (is there a SET MSG command in them? If not you could try SET MSG SUMMARY) then Essbase will write high-level statistics on how much work was done to the application log.
You can see which cubes are loaded (and consuming memory) in the EAS treeview - if they have a check (tick) mark they are loaded. But you can also see current activity by right-clicking on the server in the EAS treeview and selecting Edit | Sessions. That will show whether there are other operations (loads, calcs, reports, restructures etc) occurring at the same time.
If none of the above give any clues and this is a virtual box (or you have SAN storage) you really will need someone who understands your infrastructure to help.
I'm assuming these are BSO cubes, by the way!

Essbase Agg Calc script Running Inconsistantly

Hi All,
We are seeing inconsistent completion times for one of our calc scripts that simply aggregates a single Entity dimension. It runs periodically throughout the day on an already aggregated database. The normal completion time is 20 minutes. We have observed that some runs can take up to 7 hours. This issue persists even if there are no users in the system. We had the SAN and the Essbase server monitored while running this calc, but no issues were found on either end. In the essbase log, it appears that Essbase is sitting idle for a period of time while the calc is running. Has anyone experienced this before?
------------------------Calc script -------------------
SET CACHE HIGH;
SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH;
SET MSG SUMMARY;
SET NOTICE LOW;
SET UPDATECALC OFF;
SET AGGMISSG ON;
SET CALCPARALLEL 4;
SET CALCTASKDIMS 4;
/* Baseline fix. */
FIX (@RELATIVE("YearTotal",0), @RELATIVE("ACCountInc",0), @RELATIVE("AccountLine",0), @RELATIVE("AccountOther",0), "FY02", "Working")
Agg("Entity") ;
ENDFIX
It became a major issue. Your inputs will really help us.
Thanks in advance

Couple of unknowns here but here's a few tips:
1. Run the script in MaxL and ensure that you log users out, kill all existing app processes. Now even if this isn't do-able in the long run, you want to test this out to see that the result is consistent. A lot of times your process is waiting for other online processes to finish.
2. Defragmentation of the BSO cube could be the cause. If you defrag the cube and the 1st time run is fast, and the 2nd time run is slow, then you have created alot of blocks that shouldn't be there. And that's your problem and you need to tune the way you agg.
3. Check essbase statistics especial average cluster ratio to be 1

Calc scripts running very Long time

Hi All,
Recently, i am migrated the objects from Production to Test region. We have 5 applications and each of the application has a set of calc scripts.
In test region, they are running really long time. Where as in Production, they run for less time.
In TEST region each Calc script is taking 10 times more time than the Production times.
No Dimension added or no script is updated. No difference in objects between TEST and PROD.
Please suggest me, why is this difference.
Thanks
Mahesh

The obvious first question would be if the hardware is different. You would expect prod to be a more powerful server and therefore perform better.I'm seeing a lot of virtualized test servers (who knows, really, what power the box has) and real prod servers. That can make a huge difference in performance.
It makes benchmarking tough -- yes, you can see how long something will take relative to another process, but there isn't any way to know how it will perform in production until you sneak it over there and benchmark it. It can be a real PITA for Planning.
And yes, the theory is that dev and prod are similar so that the above isn't an issue, but that seems to be a more theoretical than actual kind of thing.

Why keep Level 1 backups after Recover Copy of Database

I implemented the daily recover copy of database
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 FOR RECOVER OF COPY
strategy.
I have a 30 day retention window and other compressed un-recovered backupsets running weekly
What I'm noticing is the level 1 backups, after they are used to recover forward my level 0 backup remain. How can I ever use them after I've rolled forward my level 0 image copies?
Is there any reason to keep them? Can they be used to recover a datafile from a separate compressed backupset?

These useless level 1 backups are kept due to your wrong way to define a retention policy for more than 1 day for incrementally updated backups.
Statement from documentation:
If you run RECOVER COPY daily without specifying an UNTIL TIME, then a continuously updated image copy cannot satisfy a recovery window of more than a day. The incrementally updated backup feature is an optimization for fast media recovery.
See the documentation how to define correctly the retention policy (advanced example):

MacAir running a lot slower after downloading Mountain Lion, has any one else experienced this

Since downloading Mountain Lion, my MacbookAIr runs more like Windows, slow to download.

Someone mention the 'indexing' on another thread, which pertain to a fan issue. But that when you update to a new OS the indexing can take hr.s My point, perhaps that is causing the sluggishness. And the simple answer is, downgrade Safari, if you still have problems with 6. And wait and see if this get's mention a lot and then perhaps Apple does an update to address it.
I'm running it now with Lion, and I did not notice any speed diiference from 5. All I see are new added or deleted features and a few shuffles of this, that and the other. When I hear people get into the forever browser wars, about rendering/speed ect. it's in my opinion more on a person like then actual numbers. And even the numbers can be missleading.
Look at Chrome, sure it's fast, but no one looks behind the scene. It eats up resources as more tabs are open. And while the downloaded file may seem lite at 23 mb, after installation it is as big as Safari. Safari is just up front about it. Even F.F. is over 35 mb after instalation. And their memory leaks are as big as the grand canyon.
Hang tuff, somebody will figure something out if it's a wide spread issue. If not there has to be something then on your machine that is causing the friction, some hiderance. And quite possibly as simple as changing a preference.

My iPhone 4s Battery live is running out so fast after upgrading it to ios 6.0.1

Please provide my with an answer.....

I took my phone into the Apple store for service for the same issue. They informed me it is a manufacturer defect that was always present, but became apparent when updating the iPhone due to overstress. I was informed the only way to fix this issue is to replace my iPhone. I then found out that because I was a month out of warranty, I would be required to purchase a replacement for $199 eventhough I personally had not damaged my phone. This replacement phone would not be guaranteed to not have the same defect- but came with a 90 day warranty. When I asked what would happen if an update came out after those 90 days that once again causes my wifi to gray out- the Apple genius helping me advised that I "use my phone a lot" in those first 90 days to see if it breaks before then. By charging me to replace a phone damaged by a faulty product- Apple is profitting from their own poor quality. Hopefully your phone is in warranty or they'll probably try to screw you over too. My reccomendation is to switch to a different brand of phone.

Why the Calc Script runs 15 hours?

Every week, we empty the BSO essbase CUBE, and reload with new data from flat file and make a Calculation. It takes 15 hours to finish, that's too long a time, how to improve the running speed? What is the most possible reason for the bottleneck?

Hi,
1. One has to take a look at your outline , calculation scripts and also other DB settings to recommend any changes for improvement.
2. There are many parameters like parallel calculation, caches, cfg settings..etc which play a role in it.
3. We never know , it might be due to hardware issue sometimes.
Get essbase consultants to fix this issue .

Battery running low much faster after upgrade

Ever since I upgraded the software, my battery life has seriously degraded. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? And is there a solution? I've already turned off location services - which is upsetting because prior to the upgrade, I had it turned on and my battery did not run low this quickly.

Perhaps these suggestions will help:

Tips to make Photoshop CS5 a lot faster?

I have been having a lot of issues with my PS CS5, it is behaving very slowly and I really have no idea why, I always thought that CS5 would be running a lot faster (because of 64bit) than CS4...CS4 was much slower than CS3 which I had really no problem with. So with photoshop CS5 even really basic operations are extremely slow, loike moving inside a document, selecting brushes, lapse of time for the brushes to appear...very basic stuff and that happens on double layer files (1400x900), so on very small files
At first I thought it was because it wasn't detecting my video card (which I found was because of my secondary 24" 1920x1200 monitor).
Here is my hardware:
Macbook pro 3,1
2.2GHz Core 2 Duo 4mb l2 cache
2GB 667MHz DDR2 RAM (2x1GB)
120GB 5400rpm HDD (set up as 2nd Scratch disk)
WD 1 TB 7200RPM (2 partitions) FireWire800 hard drive (1 partition as 1st scratch disk)
1248mb Memory usage for PS
History states:100
Cache Level:4
Cache Tile size: 128k
Also When designing the only other applications that are open are iTunes (to listen to music, an absolute must when designing! ) and Mail.
So my problem is I bought CS5 and I swear in front of my computer because it is so slow! I understand my computer isn't the most recent one but the operation I ask it t do aren't all that bad...moving a document shouldn't make PS lag and take forever...
By the way I do use some of the most recent PS CS5 features so I can't go back to CS3 even if it worked much better...
What can I do? Please help me!
P.S: Thank you Chris for your answer in my other discussion, it did answer my question!

Not for nothing, but when I hear people complaining about how slow the current Photoshop is on recent hardware, I have to laugh...my fist big iron machine was a Daystar Genesis which had 4 processors. I put a whopping 512MB of ram in the machine that cost $17,000 (yes, 17K) but that was mitigated by putting in a second 512MB for only $7,500 (the price had dropped...
In the old days, Photoshop performance was a matter of hours/days not minutes/seconds...when you worked on a big file in Photoshop 2.5, you did a lot of work to optimize Photoshop and minimize the processor clicks lost to other processors. Launch Activity Monitor and see how many processes are running under OS X. A ton...many unneeded and unwanted for running Photoshop. Are you running ONLY Photoshop? Or do you have ram/processor hogs like iTunes or Safari running at the same time? How many images do you open and work with at a single time? Open 2 images and Photoshop's ram debt doubles...open up 4 images and it more than quadruples...
There are three basic bottlenecks in Photoshop and if you want to speed them up, you need to address each and every one. First and foremost is processor speed (and multi-processors up to a point where you get diminishing returns) but even with the fastest CPU's if you starve the processor of ram when you open a bigger image, you still slow down. The last one is pretty important if you are hitting your scratch disk and that's disk I/O...
So, the basics of speeding Photoshop are; fast processor, lots of ram and a separate fast drive for scratch disk...then make sure you are only running Photoshop and not a bunch of other crap in the background and open only as many images as you absolutely need. If your machine is bogging down the odds are one or more of the above needs to be addressed. It's possible that some 3rd party software (plug-ins or drivers like a tablet) is bringing down your overall performance...it's advisable to have everything on your system as up to date as possible (after leaving a week or two for "other people" to flush out the problems).
If you are in doubt about your ram (and 2 gigs is literally nothing these days) launch Activity Monitor and watch the free ram graphic. If you are routinely dropping below 100 MBs of free ram (not allocated by any other process) the odds are real good you are seeing slowdowns and SBODs because you are forcing the system to page data which slows things down a lot-particularly if your boot drive is also your Photoshop scratch drive because you have two things competing for the same drive. It's optimal to have a fast second drive just for Photoshop scratch disks.
If you have less that all the ram your computer can hold, that's prolly the cheapest and most cost efficient place to spend money to speed Photoshop short of getting an all new system, ram and tons of fast hard drives...

Calc script, Business rule and business rule macro

Hi John,
Can we use calc script , BR sequence and a BR macro against different databases at a single go.
In one calc script or BR sequence or BR macro itself can i calculate 2 databases

If possible could you not start every post with my name, there are lots of others helping on this forum and they provide excellent answers
Calc Scripts run against one database.
Sequences can contain multiple business rules, in the launch variables you can set the database to run against for each rule (outside of the planning application though)
Macros are called from a business rule and are run against the database the calling rule is being run against.
Cheers

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
One problem is that I can not identify the script because it was not created by me, as I understand this calc is implicit in planning, only runs when you select the option "mass allocate".
The published extract was obtained from the log of the application in which the calculation is running, this was extracted from essbase directory that hosts the application.
