Global Cache and Information Broadcasting

I've been reading about the Reporting Agent which was in previous versions of BW, and how when you ran scheduled a query from this it would store the result in the global cache. This meant that subsequent runs of the report would be a lot quicker.
It struck me that this would be a very quick and cost-effective way of speeding up our slower queries (rather than laying down a lot of money on an accelerator).
However, in BI7 we don't have the same functionality anymore - it's been replaced by Information Broadcasting, which seems a lot more suited to distributing pre-run reports than what I had in mind.
Is there a way in BI7 to scehdule reports to run and store the results in cache memory?

Hi,
  Even in Information broadcasting there is am option to fill OLAP cache. You can use this option. Reporting agent is available in BI7. You can use the tcode REPORTING_AGENT to access reporting agent, but note that this work for only 3.X queries and not 7.0 queries.
See the below article by me to understand about filling OLAP cache using IB

  • AE CS6's Global Cache and Premiere Pro

    Not sure if this is an AE or Premiere question...
    Is Premiere Pro CS6 aware of AE's Global Cache? If I have a comp that is cached in AE, and I use Dynamic Link to import that comp into Premiere Pro, does it know that it's already rendered to the cache? Or does Premiere Pro tell AE to re-render it from scratch?

    It's not that Premiere Pro knows anything about the cache. Rather, when Premiere Pro asks After Effects to render the frames and send them over Dynamic Link, the headless version of After Effects can retrieve the frames from the cache if they're there. This does, in fact, make Dynamic Link workflows much faster in CS6.
    Lutz, what bug are you referring to?
    BTW, mae sure that you've installed the latest updates (choose Help > Updates). The After Effects updates include a lot of fixes relating to the cache.

  • Issue with Information broadcasting and pre-cal server in SAP BI

    Hi Experts,
    I have issue with information Broadcasting and Pre-cal server. I have a worrkbook whcih runs from information broadcasting in pre-cal server. Workbook is desinged on single query and workbook contains visual basic code. workbook has a variable which is controlled by Control query in information broadcasting.
    I have 20 employees every month I need to send workbook via e-mail from information broadcasting.  The problem is sometimes all 20 employees will recieve e-mails and sometimes not. I identified there is something wrong in workbook or in pre-cal server.
    because after workbook calculation in pre-cal server is not pushing to SOST so there is something wrong in workbook or in pre-cal server.
    I closely observed pre-cal server front end log. There are few operations performing on workbook in pre-cal server
    like Open workbook, Calculate workbook, Save woorkbook and close workbook. In success case pre-cal sever is performing all the operations but in failure case pre-cal server is missing Close workbook case.
    Below log In pulled from pre-cal server
    Can you please tell what could be the problem.

    Hi Ravikanth,
    Thank you very much for the reply
    I went into RSPRECADMIN and clicked on 'Display Current Queue'.  There we have 3 sections
    1) Queue Overview of Open Precalculations
    I can see this section is always blank after running IB also
    2) Queue Overview of Current Precalculations
    In this section I can see an entry after running IB and duration is changing. but some time workbook in this section will never processed but the duration column is changing may be something is happening at this stage.
    If the entry is not proccessed in this section and IB SM37 job will never end. I manually cancelled the job from SM50.
    Don't why the workbook is taking long time and will never end even though I cancelled the SM37 IB job.
    3) Queue Overview of Proccessed Error-Free Precalculations
    All the error free workbooks which means all pre-cal server completed workbook calculation and sent to SOST.
    I manually ran the workbook for all the 20 employees I can't find any pop-up message (earlier we have pop-up windows appearing because of VB code and when report returns no data and we fixed the pop-up issues)
    Can you please help me further to trace the error.
    Thank you

  • Information Broadcasting on Portal and KM

    Hello all,
    We are about to implement a BI-Portal integration for information broadcasting soon. At present we are planning to integrate BI and it's BI runtime portal for information broadcasting - and our BI Portal does not have KM or TREX yet.
    I would just like to confirm one issue. I've read materials but I'm still not 100% sure on this issue: does Information Broadcasting require the KM installation together with the EP?
    It says on the FAQ:
    In addition, using Broadcasting not only using e-mail but also with the SAP NetWeaver Portal requires the additional installation of a J2EE Server with SAP NetWeaver Portal or KM.
    What I understand, do correct me if I'm wrong, is that when you publish into the Portal - it will reside on the PCD or in WebDAV (KM).
    Question: is it mandatory to install KM for this scenario? Or can information broadcasting live by without KM?
    I believe there are benefits on having KM - like subscriptions or have it accessible via BEx Portfolio under the business explorer role in the portal.. but I'm quite confused as to requiring to have KM installed.
    Thanks in advance all.

    Thanks for the prompt response.
    It does appear that KM is required.. but some articles I've read did not point out it be mandatory. So overall, this one's kind of confusing -- well at least for me having no experience on BI-Portal integration.
    But the SAP Note 830385 - [SAP Note 830385|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_bw_bex/~form/handler%7b5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d383330333835%7d]though it's based on SAP BW 3.5 and SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 - it stated that:
    "Knowledge Management and Collaboration must also be available on the portal because the required BW Java classes are also installed during this installation."
    Anyways, thanks again. And I will leave this thread open running and hopefully someone who has implemented Information Broadcasting can shed more light on this topic.

  • Filling OLAP Cache - Information Broadcasting

    Hi,
    I have performance issues with a number of queries, and have impIemented a number of changes, but now I am looking at precalculating a number of queries, for every week of the year.
    It appears the settings in the Info Broadcasting only allow 10 variables. Can anyone suggest a way where I cache all weeks in the year, so whenever the users choose any specific week, the query is returned from Cache.
    Thanks in advance,
    Scott

    Hi Scott,
        Caching for entire year data is not advisable... lot of parameters you have to take into considaration. Like buffer size, cache swaping... etc... and also mainly.. if you do caching for whole year, load take lots of time to cache. and you have to cache again after every master data and transactional data load(cache becomes invalidate after each data load).

  • Global Performance Cache and GPU

    Nvidia's website says: The Global Performance Cache feature makes After Effects faster and more responsive than ever before by taking full advantage of the power of your computer's hardware. NVIDIA GPUs allow you to accelerate previews when drawing images to the screen for a highly interactive experience. 
    does the global performance automatically use the gpu or do you have to enable it? and is this a good reason to invest in a good gpu or not really?

    The global peformance cache has nothing whatsoever to do with the GPU or Nvidia. See this for details of the cache features:

    Hello GURU
    Local cache is specific to a user, before BW 3.0 it was only local cache available...if a user run the query data will come to cache from infoprovider and next time same query will not go to Data base instead it will fetch data from cache memory...this cache will be used only for that particular user...if some other user try the same query it will not pick up dta from cache.....
    BW 3.0 onward we have global cache which means several user can access same cache for the same query or data which is related in cache...

  • Precalculation Server for Information Broadcasting

    Hi Folks,
    Do we need Precalculation server to use Information Broadcasting in BW7.0?
    I am especially interested in using the Filling OLAP Cache functionality in Information Broadcasting to fill OLAP cache for one workbook.
    Need your help on this.
    Regards,
    Sn

    Hi Raghavendra \ NS,
    We have only one application server. The issue might be because of the broadcast settings which I am giving to fill the OLAP Cache.
    In my current query there are two variables one is on business unit and the other one is on calendar month. Both the variables  are optional.
    Business Unit variable accepts multiple single values as input and the calendar month is selection-option variable.
    Now My problem is if I fill cache with a variant, without providing any value for Business Unit variable (i.e for all the business Units ) and Calendar month values as 01.2010 to 11.2010, then when I execute the query for Business Unit x and Calendar month 10.2010- this is not picking data from cache instead reading from the database. Ideally this selection is the subset of the cache which I have filled.
    The query is picking data from the cache only if I give the same variable values i.e no values for Business Unit and 01.2010 to 11.2010 for calendarmonth.
    My requirement is to fill the cache for all the Business Units and all the calendar months of current year. This cache should be accessed by the query even if user selects one or multiple or all the  Business Units and a single or range or all the calendar months of current year.
    I might be doing something wrong in settings of BEx broadcaster. Please throw some light on the settings which I have to make in this case.
