Essbase - Cache

Hi,
What is the best procedure to calculate different caches and assign them to a database.
Appreciate your response
Thnx

Hi
please find information on sizing of different caches below:
Index cache : Combined size of all essn.ind files, if possible; as large as possible otherwise.
Do not set this cache size higher than the total index size, as no performance improvement results.
DataFile Cache : Combined size of all essn.pag files, if possible; otherwise as large as possible.
This cache setting not used if Essbase is set to use buffered I/O.
Data Cache : 0.125 * the value of data file cache size. Increase value if any of these conditions exist:
● Many concurrent users are accessing different data blocks.
● Calculation scripts contain functions on sparse ranges, and the functions require all members of a
range to be in memory (for example, when using @RANK and @RANGE).
● For data load, the number of threads specified by the DLTHREADSWRITE setting is very high and the
expanded block size is large.
You can find more information in database admin guide.
hope this helps.
www.dornakal.blogspot.comThe above cache size setup advice apply to both 32bit and 64bit version of Essbase?
Thanks again!

How to make use of the spare physical memory under buffered I/O of Essbase

We encountered an issue of the physical memory allocation of the server running Essbase with buffered I/O mode. We have implemented some cache setting in Essbase but still found that the disk I/O is quite high. Also we observed that Windows 2003 server cannot make use of the spare physical memory available as the system cache for database files of Essbase.
As allocating more memory as Essbase cache might not help, we would like to know other than changing to direct I/O mode, any other options can improve the disk I/O performance?
Thanks!

Hi Hyperion_User,
1. Disk IO performance,It mighe depend on quite a few things , one of the aspects might be your storage system. It can depend on the disk configuration too ( i.e if your disk is SAN or NAS, then it depends on the configuration like Raid ..etc).
2. It depends on the HBA ( host bus adapter).
3. Let me try to explain with diagram.

4. It might depend on the HBA and even on the switch speed.
5. Buffered IO is a very generic setting,which most of them use( that should not be an issue).
6. Even if you have 30 to 40 GB free memory, every application in essbase has a limitation to it maximum usage ( 2 GB on windows ). Refer to DBAG for more information on this .

Thanks for your detailed advice. I just wonder if more physical memory can help to improve the disk I/O being used for concurrent read/write access. We are using Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition and not sure whether some spare physical memory can be used for this purpose.
Thanks again!

Setting Essbase to Direct I/O Question

Hi!
I am trying to configure my only (already existing) database to use direct I/O instead of buffered.
After I have changed the settings and stopped and started the application the outline is empty and any access (smart view or excel add-in) denied. Changing back solves the problem.
The environment is a unix box with solaris 10.
Any experience on how to set this properly? (i.e. do I need to re-start the server)
E

Amarnath,
Can you speak about what kind of speed issue you are trying to address and what kind of improvements you are hoping to gain?
I would recommend other factors be looked at before changing this option. You would normally want to take a holistic approach for performance reviewing your outline order, calculation scripts, business process at times (sometimes people do ask for unreasonable things), utilization of disks -- are there "hot" disks that are always busy in an array, are cache's in a SAN being fully utilized. More invasive optimizations may even involve dropping a dimension where the business process supports -- probably only worth looking at this if you have > 10 dimensions in a BSO app.
Back to your question, you should always prove out this type of option in a non-production environment try to understand what performance gains (if any) and get an idea of the cache changes you will need to make -- once Direct I/O is enabled you now have 3 Essbase caches Index, Data, and then Data File Cache (only for Direct IO). Assuming you are using 32-bit Essbase, AIX has a 1.7GB limit per individual application -- if you start giving several hundred MB of cache to the Essbase Cache's you can begin bumping up against the 1.7GB limit (you don't want to have this happen during production).
The AIX Server and Essbase Server do not require a restart for the direct I/O changes to take effect. You will need to involve your AIX administration team to have the filesystem setting changed and enacted -- they are best suited to recommend the proper procedures -- usually this involves shutting down any processes active on a given filesystem.

Annoying Cache-Full Problems when Launching Business Rules

Hello,
We are using Planning 1.1.1.3 with Essbase 11.1.1.3.000.
I am not sure whether it is suitable place to ask this problem. If this is the wrong place to post, please kindly let me know.
Our client encountered a lot of data cache full errors recently, but the cache is set as usual and no significant change in BRs discovered.
To better tune the cache settings and BR launch procedure, I would like to know the answers to below questions:
1. Is there any garbage collection mechanism related to Essbase cache?
If we encountered data cache full error, we can only feel confident before next BR execution after restart the application and see the cache return to 0. But I think it stupid because we shouldn't have to manually reset the cache. Is there any official document or explanation about cache release mechanism of Essbase cache?
2. How big is enough?
We set the data cache for this application as 4G and MEMSCALINGFACTOR 2, so it should be 8G total data cache assigned. I wondered is there any guideline about how big the cache should be regarding to the dimension size, fix range, calculation function and so on?
3. Do other operations also use up Essbase cache?
For example, opening a 5000-row ad-hoc excel form, 100 users submitting data at the same time...
Please help and thanks in advance for any answers!

Thank you John,
We have found that it is the entity dimension that should be responsible to this problem.
I remember we have encountered this kind of problem before when we aggregate an application with the entity dimension hierarchy mixed with shared and stored instances of the same level 0 members. To put it simple, there are three members under "Entity" dimension member, which represents different view of entity hierarchies of same level 0 members. the first one has stored level 0 entity members while the other two have shared ones. And at that time, our client added another hierarchy with shared level 0 members, but they did not put this tree under "Entity" dimension member directly, but rather put it under the first child of "Entity", which is the one with stored level 0 members.
It is a little bit confusing to describe the situation only by text. Anyway, at that time, the first hierarchy had both stored and shared instances of the same group of level 0 members. And the data cache is always full when aggregating. and after we moved the forth hierarchy to another tree so under that hierarchy the level 0 members are all shared instances, the aggregation worked flawlessly.
I wondered why this happened and consider this is related to detailed calculation logic of Essbase. May you shed some light on this topic? Thank you with all my heart!
Warm Regards,
John

Essbase performance tuning

Hi guys,
I'm looking for some documents for improving current Essbase 7's performance. Could you please recommend some links/documents/books. Thanks.

Hi Wei,
You have to optimize your Essbase DB to enhance its performance. Following topics covers in Essbase optimization: -
● Design Outline to Hour Glass Approch
● Optimizing Essbase Caches
● Optimizing Database Restructuring
● Optimizing Data Loads
● Optimizing Calculations
● Optimizing Reports and Other Types of Retrieval Optimizing
● Monitoring Performance
You can refer chapter IX of essbase database administrator guide for details of each of above topics.
Hope it will help you.

Issues with WebForm performance

Hi,
We had migrated a new application from UAT to PROD and we encounter webform performance issues with the following actions..
After login, the first form you open it is
always slow. After this you can switch from one form to another without a
delay.
Then once you change any data – the next time
you access a form it gets delayed.
The point to be noted is, it doesnt have any performance issues in the UAT environment and the configuration settings,essbase cache settings are all the same. We did try to move the EPM system to a new server to see if this is a hardware issue but no luck, the performance issues still exist. The consumption of the CPU/memory has been checked and it is proved that the form opening delay has nothing to do with lack of memory.
The JVM head settings is set up at 4GB which is infact higher than that of the UAT environment(2GB).
runs on Windows server2008,11.1.2.1.600 EPM serve, has planning,reporting,foundation on one server (32GB ram) and essbase on another server (32GB ram). Any help is appreciated.
Please find attached the planning logs below and there is nothing mentioned in the hyperionplanning error logs.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I already replied there but it seems no moderator is willing to approve my reply so it never shows up.
So I'll try replying in here instead:
I never thought it could be an emulator issue, I thought I had done something wrong to begin with. So I take having performance issues with tiled layer is not a common problem I suppose?
I'm using MOTODEV SDK platform, A1200 model (motorola).

Essbase 64 bit on Windows 2003 Server: Windows Virtual cache/ Paging File ?

Hi,
the speed of our nightly calculations seems to differ from day to day between 1 and 2 hours
I am wondering, what the correct setting for the windows paging file is ?
We use Windows 2003 64 Bit Server with 16 GB RAM
We run 1 Essbase application with 80 GB pag files with 4 GB Data Cache Setting and 1 GB Indexcache Setting in EAS console - on that server is actually nothing else running in production mode (just a few essbase-test application, usually offline)
what is the recommended setting on the windows level in the windows system properties for memory usage ?
We have:
Memory Usage: Adjust for best performance of "Programs" ;
Virtual Memory/Paging file on C-Drive: Custom Size, initial Size: 10 GB, maximum size 16 GB
when system was handed over from Oracle, we had 4 GB virtual memory - however in essbase manual, you read that the recommended value should be 3-5 times the physicial ram -
for me, the cache-bevahiour is strange anyway: if I watch taskmanager, I see in the middle of our 1 hour calculation the memory usage of Esssvr.exe Service using 7 GB of RAM, then the 16 GB RAM are used up at some point (paging file is 9 GB )- then suddenly nearly all the RAM get's cleared and ESSSVR.exe memory consumption goes down to 0 and from 0 increasing again-
looks to me, as all the cache for essbase get's deleted in the miiddle of the calculation, because RAM used up for paging files ?
Can anybody explain or give a clear directions, what to check ?
our application operates normally (no abnormal termination, no generation of *.xcp files)
(Essbase is installed on the 500 GB D-Drive)

Hi John,
thanks for the helpful link - the long discussion reminded me again, that pure cores and cache is not all, what makes up a good essbase application -
I will test with calcparallel 6 (in comparison to 4) on our 64bit environment - just to see if I can achieve a 10, 20 or 30% improvement...
In addition, I must admit, that 50% of our 1-2 hour calculation is calculated in serial/ not parallel... so I expect an additional 5 to 10 min improvement, not more.
Thank you for now

Impact of Windows system cache to Essbase

As we know that Windows OS has a system cache buffer to cache data files under OS environment. And Essbase also has its own cache mechanism to cache some data block into physical memory.
If we have many physical memory left, Windows will utilize the physical memory as system cache. It seems that the data will be cached twice, one at OS level and one at Essbase level.
Should we avoid this situation or just let's Windows OS to perform its own system cache handling?

Hi ,
I think you posted a right query on a wrong forum .
This forum is for Oracle Warehouse Builder , where as your question is for Informatica .
May be you can post the same in http://technet.informatica.com/forum
Thanks,

Essbase Data Cache Full Error

Hi, All,
I am encountering an Essbase data cache full error while running some calc scripts. I have already try to set the data cache size to 800MB to 1.6GB, and index cache to around 100MB. It is quite a large BSO Essbase, with one dimension over 1000 members, another about 2500 members, and the last one about 3000 members.
I have three similar scripts and each is for different entities to aggregate on some of those dimensions.
For example, I started with unload the app/db, and run the calc script 1 for Entity1, it is successfully; However, I continue to run on calc script 2 for Entity 2, it showed the "data cache full error". However, after I unload the app/db, and then run calc script 2 again, I can have the calc scripts completed with no errors.
I am running on Essbase 11.1.1.3 on AIX platform 32-bit Essbase.
Anyone had encountered that before. Is it a problem with Essbase RAM handling, in this case?
Thanks in advance

Thank you John,
We have found that it is the entity dimension that should be responsible to this problem.
I remember we have encountered this kind of problem before when we aggregate an application with the entity dimension hierarchy mixed with shared and stored instances of the same level 0 members. To put it simple, there are three members under "Entity" dimension member, which represents different view of entity hierarchies of same level 0 members. the first one has stored level 0 entity members while the other two have shared ones. And at that time, our client added another hierarchy with shared level 0 members, but they did not put this tree under "Entity" dimension member directly, but rather put it under the first child of "Entity", which is the one with stored level 0 members.
It is a little bit confusing to describe the situation only by text. Anyway, at that time, the first hierarchy had both stored and shared instances of the same group of level 0 members. And the data cache is always full when aggregating. and after we moved the forth hierarchy to another tree so under that hierarchy the level 0 members are all shared instances, the aggregation worked flawlessly.
I wondered why this happened and consider this is related to detailed calculation logic of Essbase. May you shed some light on this topic? Thank you with all my heart!
Warm Regards,
John

OBIEE & Essbase - Reduce Data Cache in OBI Server

Hi,
We have a essbase ASO cube and using it as a source we have created a dashboard.
But when we change the data in the cube (for example, what-if or online data analysis) the dashboard dose not change since the BI server cache the data.
How do we reduce this cache period for a particular cube or a dashboard.
Thanks
Nilaksha.

Have you tried reducing the time in the Cache Persistence time?
Hope it helps
Thanks

Essbase data cache setting not registering

Hi,
We have 64-bit essbase. I changed the data and Index cache setting (storage type Buffered IO) in essbase.
After restarting the database, I see the value getting updated in the "Index cache current value" but the value in the "Data cache current value" is zero.
These are planning essbase databases. The behavior is same for the native essbase dbs.
I have also tried restarting the essbase service. The essbase version 11.1.1.3
Please help.
Regards,
Avi

Indes and data caches work differently and it is probably good to talk about that. When an Essbase database starts, it will grab all of the memory you have defined for the index cache and nothing else can get at it. Data cachs is grabbed as it is needed until it reaches the maximum. It was truly problematic in the old days when we had much less memory to work with. If you started too many applications, you took all available memory right away. Man I feel old talking about it :)

Purge Cache by Essbase cube name

Hi all,
Is there any BI Server ODBC Driver Function that allows purging the BI server cache by Essbase cube name.Something similar to SAPurgeMCNCacheByCube for SAP/BW.
I know that we can purge the cache by DB, by query and by table but not sure if we can do it by Essbase by physical cube (application) name.
Thanks

Hii
I have the same problem , you have.
did you manage to solve it ??
Thanks in advance

Setup event table cache clear for - Essbase cube table

we have event polling table for clearing the cache now having issues in setting up for essbase physical cube tables.
1. we have structure of hyperion like this for physical cube table "CONSOL"- where schema is empty.
"Hyperion"."CONSOLX".."CONSOL"
2. Event polling table is in different database/connection
When the event table is populated without schema, polling actually looking for the table in the database configured for the event pool connection pool and not "hyperion".
*[55001] The physical table Hyperion:CONSOLX:Event Polling:CONSOL in a cache polled row does not exist.*
When i read in some blogs...I understood its working as expected(when something is null it looks in event polling database)
Has anybody configured event polling for hyperion cubes table cache clear ?
Thanks
Ayaps

what is your insert statement in UET table?
Looks like you are missing one value out of 4 required. Thats why it is considering Event Pooling in between. As you have event pooling table in different physical database, you have to fill DbName,CatalogName,SchemaName and TableName in the UET tables.

Essbase BSO data cache setting

can you guys post your BSO cube compressed data size(.pag files) and data cache setting? I am trying to get a better understanding about these two areas interms of optimization. I am also curious to know the maximum data cache setting ever used on BSO cube....(1 GB is what I know as of now)
I think the settings depends on million things (available RAM on server, performance check, etc etc) but just a quick check.
Thanks,
KK
