High memory webintelligence processing server

Hi,
why the memory of web intelligence processing server increase considerably when i refresh or schedule a webi document referring to a SAP BW Universe?
How can i to resolve this issue?
Regards
Carlo

Hi,
@Carlo: Which BOBJ version (incl. FixPacks) are you using?
@Siva: Have you tried to modify related properties of your webi processing server like the following
(BO XI 3.0)
Idle Document Timeout
Cache Timeout
Maximum Document Cache Size 
etc.
@BOTH: Abhishek is right. Please consider checking the BEx query  you are using in your report. If you are using an SAP BW as data source, please note that the WebI Proc Server will fetch ALL attributes that have been assigned to your report within the WebI query panel even if these attributes are not displayed or really used in your report. Maybe you can save some space by removing data that are not needed.

  • WebIntelligence Processing Server fails to start

    Hi,
    last weekend we upgraded a working BOE XI 3.0 SP3 + SAP IK XI 3.0 SP 3 to BOE XI 3.1 SP3 and SAP IK 3.1 SP3 (Windows 2003 server). The sequence was:
    -Applied the 3.1 upgrade to existing BO XI 3.0 SP3
    - Applied the 3.1 upgrade to existing SAP IK
    - Applied SP3 on top of the new BO XI 3.1
    - Applied SP3 on top of the new SAP IK.
    There were some problems but we managed to finish the installation, apparently with no problems; but users complained next day about a RWI 00226 error. We discovered (through the Windows Event manager and the logs) that the Webi Processing Server was unable to start from the first upgrade made (from 3.0 to 3.1). Most of our reports are Deski so we were not aware of that problem at that moment.
    We tried to start the server from the CMC but the server entered into 'Fail' status. We cloned the server and deleted the old one but with the same results; we renamed the <BOXIDir>/Data directory but things didn't go better.
    Then we were able to reproduce the same actions performed on the production environment, and exactly with the same results: all the other servers were working correctly but WebIntelligenceServer was still unable to start.
    I will try to get more information by setting the trace argument to the server, but has anyone experienced the same issue?
    Thanks!

    Yes, we deleted the old one, deleted the cache, created a new one, etc. But the same results.
    More info about this problem, got with -trace:

  • Isolating WebIntelligence ad hoc reports to specific Webi Report Processing Server

    Post Author: Lucia Chan
    CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
    Has anyone successfully isolated WebIntelligence ad hoc reports to be processed by specific Webi Report Processing Server?  We need to enforce governance on the database side.  We can restrict scheduling for Webi reports to specific Webi Report Processing Server, but not for ad hoc reports.  Otherwise is there a way to do connection override for scheduled Webi reports?

    New version that's comming up SBO Bi4.0 will have bouilt in monitoring that will allow what you requesting.
    In the current product line - this is not possible, unless you just monitor WIReportServer.exe at OS level and alert when it's memory or CPU usage goest too high... (if memory reaches close to and above 1.7gb - you're going into troubles.)
    There are various fixes and improvements to Webi processing stability in recent fix and service packs, so if you're having webi instability - you should review latest FP fix issues list (in SMP to right of FP download there is an Info link - it leads to fixed issues docs).
    If you do not see your issue listed - open incident with support - let them investigate.
    Webi crashing when merging/unmerging dimentions sounds like a bug...

  • Find heap memory Size for Web Intelligence processing server in BO 4.0

    Hi All ,
    We need to gather data for sizing inputs.For Adaptive processing server , we can find same by going in CMC> Server > APS > Properties & check value for the parameter -Xmx  . Could you please tell how to  find the max heap memory allocated for a Web Intelligence processing server in BO 4.0 as for Webi server this parameter is not maintained. ?
    Regards ,
    Abhinav

    Hi Abhinav,
    The maximum threshold is a value which may reach on peak usage and Webi processing server cannot occupy memory beyond this value at any time.
    In your situation 9 Webi Processing servers with 16 GB of RAM on server is not recommended. This is because consider situation with total 16 GB of host RAM.
    4 GB should left for OS
    Tomcat will need minimum 2 GB for 200 users
    So you are left with 10 GB RAM for all BO services
    Now 9 Webi Processing servers with 6 GB of Threshhost will not work here
    For this configuration you can have 2 Webi Processing servers with default threshold should be running on single host.

  • Unabel to processes application with high memory image

    Hello every one 
    In one of my application i am loading 8mb image into 2d picture control and i am doing some operations on it . 
    This is working perfectly but when i am using high memory image like 30mb the performance i.e in terms of speed got slowed down .
    So how to increase the speed of the application

    Nagaa,
    When you write "mb" do you mean megabytes?  The typical usage in English is MB. Lower case letters technically would refer to millibits which of course does not make any sense.
    A 30 MB image, assuming 4 bytes per pixel, is 7.5 megapixels. In a square image it would be >2700 pixels on a side. Unless your picture control is that large - which is larger than most screens - the data has to be reduced to the number of pixels in the control. LabVIEW or the OS or both will do those reductions, but you have no control over how much time it will take.
    The other thing which can slow processing is creation of extra data copies in your operations.
    Without seeing your VI, I cannot make specific recommendations. In general:1. Make the image size match the picture control size and 2. Avoid extra data copies.

  • Windows Server 2012 High Memory Utilization(Three Hyper-V Instance Configure in this Server For Lync)

    Hello There,
    Issue: High Memory Utilization in Below Scenario. Pl. See the below configuration of Win 12 Server
    Pl. see for committed memory bytes . m little bit confused that about committed memory
    OS: Windows Server 2012
    Memory: Total 24 GB Free:1.3 GB Committed:27.6 GB
    App Configure: Three Hyper V Instances Configure For Lync Server 2013
    Pls provide me solution on this issue

    Virtual memory system.  Committed memory is the physical memory for which space has been reserved in the disk paging file.  So, you are paging, which is quite common in virtual memory systems.
    On a completely different topic.  Lync is an application that works best on real cores.  Most systems are configured by default to use hyperthreading.  Hyperthreading increases the logical processor count on a system and logical processors
    are treated equally.  Since a hyperthread 'core' (logical processor) performs at a small fraction of a real core (logical processor), if you are running VMs that work best with real cores, it is best to change your BIOS on the Hyper-V host to disable
    hyperthreading, sometimes called simultaneous multithreading (SMT).

  • What's the recommended setting for "Process memory usage" ("process virtual" in UI) for a 64-bit host on a 64-bit OS?

    Hi gurus
    In resource based throttling, what's the recommended setting for "Process memory usage" ("process virtual" in the resource based throttling tab of the UI) for a 64-bit host
    on a 64-bit Windows OS?
    According to MS (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee308808(v=bts.10).aspx):
    "By default, the
    Process memory usage throttling threshold is set to 25. If this value is exceeded and the BizTalk process memory usage is more than 300 MB, a throttling condition may occur. On a 32-bit
    server, you can increase the Process memory usage value to 50. On a 64-bit server, you can increase this value to 100. This allows for more memory consumption by the BizTalk process before throttling
    occurs."
    Does this mean that 100 is the recommended setting for a 64-bit host on a 64-bit Windows?
    Thanks
    Michael Brandt Lassen

    Hi Michael,
    Recommended setting is the default setting which is 25 .dot.
    If your situation is abnormal and you see message delivery throttling state to “4” when the following performance counters are high or if you expect any of you integration
    process could have impact on following counters, then you can consider the suggestion by Microsoft. Don’t change the default setting.
    High process memory
    Process memory usage (MB)
    Process memory usage threshold (MB)
    You can see these counters under “BizTalk:MessageAgent”
    You can gauge these performance counter and its maximum values if have done any regression/performance testing in your test servers. If you have seen these counters having
    high values and causing throttling, then you can update the Process memory usage.
    Or unexpectedly you’re process high throughput messages in production which is causing these counters to go high and cause throttling, then up can update the Process memory
    usage.
    The above two cases where I know my expected process usage (by doing performance testing) or suddenly my production server processing has gone high due to unexpected business
    hike (or any reasons) which caused throttling, then do changes to default throttling setting.
    Just changing the default setting without actual reason could have adverse effect where you end up allocating 
    more processing capacities but the actual message processing message usage ever is low means you end up investing in underutilised resources.

    Grateful to your time and support. Regards, Shiva

    Hi,
    some of the values you posted are no logical. but let's go over the values as you posted one by one:
    * page life expectancy: number of seconds a page will stay in the buffer pool without references.
            883 seem to be OK, but not very high (more then 14 min)
    * Buffer Cache Hit Ratio: Percentage of pages found in the buffer cache without having to read from disk. The ratio is the total number of cache hits divided by the total number of cache lookups over the last few thousand page accesses.
            I dont know how you got this value above 100%.
            I would suggest to use PERFMON to check the value, or this query:
    SELECT (a.cntr_value * 1.0 / b.cntr_value) * 100.0 as BufferCacheHitRatio
    FROM sys.dm_os_performance_counters a
    JOIN (SELECT cntr_value,OBJECT_NAME
    FROM sys.dm_os_performance_counters
    WHERE counter_name = 'Buffer cache hit ratio base'
    ) b ON a.OBJECT_NAME = b.OBJECT_NAME
    WHERE a.counter_name = 'Buffer cache hit ratio'
    * Free list stalls/sec: frequency with which requests for available database pages are suspended because no buffers are available. Free list stall rates of 3 or 4 per second indicate too little SQL memory available.
    806 is extrimly high value, look very bad! It should be around 2
    * Lazy writes/sec: tracks how many times a second that the Lazy Writer process is moving dirty pages from the buffer to disk in order to free up buffer space.
    423858 is extrimly high value, look very bad! It should be less then 20

  • WebI Processing server 4.0 and its common services

    Hello there.
    Tried to search here as well in SAP notes area, but did not find anything useful. Problem here is that the default WebI processing server was deleted and when I'm trying to create it from a scratch it allows to add only single service, for example: WebIntelligence Core service or WebIntelligence Common service etc.
    By default WebI pro server consists of Core, Processing,Common, Information Engine service... ok the last one can be added to APS server, but how to get tose 3 Core/Common/Processing to single server, I can't add them from a list because it's empty. I do not want to recreate the SIA node, but the problem here is that one of those services consuming huge amount of memory...more than 6GB of mem and I do not see the switch how to turn it out.
    many thanks in advance

    Hi again
    I do not like to bump like this, but maybe somebody have any idea how to deal with it? Maybe it makes sense to add this question to diferent thread?

  • Very high memory usage..possible memory leak?  Solaris 10 8/07 x64

    Hi,
    I noticed yesterday that my machine was becoming increasingly slow, where once it was pretty snappy. It's a Compaq SR5250NX with 1GB of RAM. Upon checking vmstat, I noticed that the "Free" column was ~191MB. Now, the only applications I had open were FireFox 2.0.11, GAIM, and StarOffice. I closed all of them, and the number reported in the "Free" column became approximately 195MB. "Pagefile" was about 5.5x that size. There were no other applications running and it's a single user machine, so I was the only one logged in. System uptime: 9 days.
    I logged out, logged back in, to see if that had an affect. It did not. Rebooted and obviously, that fixed it. Now with only FireFox, GAIM, and a terminal open, vmstat reports "Free" as ~450MB. I've noticed if I run vmstat every few seconds, the "Free" total keeps going down. Example:

    In any event, we can see that FireFox is sucking up 145MB (??!?!!? crazy...) XSun, 200MB, and java 190MB. I'm running Java Desktop System (Release 3) so I assume that is what accounts for the the high memory usage RE: java process. But, XSun, 200MB?
    Is this normal and I just need to toss another gig in, or what?
    Thanks

  • High memory use when checking downloads folder through browser

    High memory use when checking downloads folder through browser.
    I have a total of 3 DDR2 Gbytes of ram. Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4500 @ 2.30GHz Win 7 home pr. 64bit. Firefox 27.0 beta
    I right click on a file to "open containing folder" from the drop down menu in downloads.
    When the folder has been opened, explorer is trying to index the folder (which it never does completely or well after 5 minutes I close the folder and shut down the dllhost process cause laptop is blazing hot) and memory keeps increasing till no more is available.
    I checked task manager and see that dllhost is the particular process that is causing the spike in memory usage even after closing the folder I right click and stop the process and memory is restored after awhile.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Sudden high memory usage, can't find cause

    I did a big update yesterday, and today I've started to notice very high memory usage. I wasn't keeping track before so I can't say how much it increased, but I've never had problems before, and the slowness and lack of responsiveness have been noticeable, though I haven't ruled out other possible causes for that. Here's the output of 'free -m':
    total used free shared buffers cached
    Mem: 7971 7826 144 0 1 149
    -/+ buffers/cache: 7674 296
    Swap: 9215 458 8757
    It wasn't as bad as that right after startup, though usage still seemed suspiciously high. What makes this whole thing a mystery to me is that none of my running processes seem to be using that much memory!  Here's the output of 'top -b -n 1':

    I wouldn't expect the '%MEM's to add up to exactly the real usage, but this isn't even close! So, what could be using up all of my memory? I have /tmp mounted to ram, but that's only a few megabytes. I really have no idea where to go from here.
    The relevant portion of my pacman log is below, since I don't know how to get just a compact list of the updated packages. Most notably, the kernel was upgrades, from 3.9.9-1 to 3.10.3-1.

    Okay, so it turns out that this was caused by the Catalyst bug described in this post. Reverting to the 13.6 version solved the problem. Lesson learned: if there's a ton of memory being used that isn't owned by a running process, start looking for bug reports involving drivers. Especially drivers known for being, well, pretty bad. Was there any method I could have used that would have told me that Catalyst was using all my ram, or is kernel-space memory usage pretty much a black box?

  • Out of memory using Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 9.2.0.3

    Hi,
    I just installed both Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 9.2.0.3. The server I am using has 4 gigabytes of memory installed, and windows shows that to be the actual physical memory on the server. The paging file is 8 gigabytes for a total of 12 gigabytes of virtual memory.
    Using the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, I create a new database using default values. After verifying the installation worked OK (database started, queries ran), I attempted to change some of the memory parameters and was able to start the database using about 1.4 gigabytes of total SGA, with the O/S using about .3 gigabytes for a total of 1.7 gigabytes. I then attempted to change the buffer cache + 1 gigabyte for a total of 2 gigabytes. Now the database will not start and I get an out of memory error ora-27102 with an additional O/S memory error of "O/S Error: (OS 8) Not enough storage is available to process this command".
    So, I have two problems:
    1) With 4 gigabytes installed, and the O/S using only about 300 megabytes, why isn't Oracle able to take advantage of the memory on this machine past the 1.7 gigabytes (as reported by Windows task manager).
    2) How do I change the spfile memory parameters so the database will start using spfile? I can start the database pointing to a pfile with lesser memory parameters, but I don't know how to effect change on the spfile, since I cannot start with the spfile.
    Both these technologies (9.2.0.3 and Server 2003) are new to me, so any insight would be appreciated!
    HERE ARE THE SPFILE PARAMETERS THAT WORKED:
    SGA (M)
    Shared Pool=104
    Buffer Cache=960 ***
    Large Pool=0
    Java Pool=64
    Total SGA=1128
    SGA Max Size=1321
    Aggregate PGA Target=1500
    Current PGA Allocated=22868KB
    WINDOWS MEMORY INFO FROM TASK MANAGER SHOW:
    PF Usage=1.66GB
    Physical Memory (K)
    Total=4062704
    Available=3203460
    System Cache=2499096
    Commit Charge (K)
    Total=1748184
    Limit=12288628
    Peak=1925276
    *** When I change this to 2048 the database did not start.
    Thank you.

    CREATE SPFILE
    Purpose
    Use the CREATE SPFILE statement to create a server parameter file from a client-side initialization parameter file. Server parameter files are binary files that exist only on the server and are called from client locations to start up the database.
    Server parameter files let you make persistent changes to individual parameters. When you use a server parameter file, you can specify in an ALTER SYSTEM SET parameter statement that the new parameter value should be persistent. This means that the new value applies not only in the current instance, but also to any instances that are started up subsequently. Traditional client-side parameter files do not let you make persistent changes to parameter values. Because they are located on the server, these files allow for automatic database tuning by Oracle and for backup by Recovery Manager (RMAN).
    To use a server parameter file when starting up the database, you must create it from a traditional text initialization parameter file using the CREATE SPFILE statement.
    All instances in an Real Application Clusters environment must use the same server parameter file. However, when otherwise permitted, individual instances can have different settings of the same parameter within this one file. Instance-specific parameter definitions are specified as SID.parameter = value, where SID is the instance identifier.
    The method of starting up the database with a server parameter file depends on whether you create a default or nondefault server parameter file. Please refer to "Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples" for examples of how to use server parameter files.
    See Also:
    CREATE PFILE for information on creating a regular text parameter file from a binary server parameter file
    Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for information on pre-Oracle9i initialization parameter files and Oracle9i server parameter files
    Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Administration for information on using server parameter files in a Real Application Clusters environment
    Prerequisites
    You must have the SYSDBA or the SYSOPER system privilege to execute this statement. You can execute this statement before or after instance startup. However, if you have already started an instance using spfile_name, you cannot specify the same spfile_name in this statement.
    Syntax
    create_spfile::=
    Text description of create_spfile
    Semantics
    spfile_name
    This clause lets you specify a name for the server parameter file you are creating.
    If you do not specify spfile_name, Oracle uses the platform-specific default server parameter filename. If spfile_name already exists on the server, this statement will overwrite it. When using a default server parameter file, you start up the database without referring to the file by name.
    If you do specify spfile_name, you are creating a nondefault server parameter file. In this case, to start up the database, you must first create a single-line traditional parameter file that points to the server parameter file, and then name the single-line file in your STARTUP command.
    See Also:
    "Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples" for information on starting up the database with default and nondefault server parameter files
    Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for Windows (or other appropriate operating system specific documentation) for default parameter file names
    pfile_name
    Specify the traditional initialization parameter file from which you want to create a server parameter file.
    If you specify pfile_name, the parameter file must reside on the server. If it does not reside in the default directory for parameter files on your operating system, you must specify the full path.
    If you do not specify pfile_name, Oracle looks in the default directory for parameter files on your operating system for the default parameter filename, and uses that file. If that file does not exist in the expected directory, Oracle returns an error.
    Note:
    In a Real Application Clusters environment, you must first combine all instance parameter files into one file before specifying it in this statement to create a server parameter file. For information on accomplishing this step, see Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Setup and Configuration.
    Examples
    Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples
    The following example creates a default server parameter file from a client initialization parameter file named t_init1.ora:
    CREATE SPFILE
    FROM PFILE = '$ORACLE_HOME/work/t_init1.ora';
    Note:
    Typically you will need to specify the full path and filename for parameter files on your operating system. Please refer to your Oracle operating system documentation for path information.
    When you create a default server parameter file, you subsequently start up the database using that server parameter file by using the SQL*Plus command STARTUP without the PFILE parameter, as follows:
    STARTUP
    The following example creates a nondefault server parameter file s_params.ora from a client initialization file named t_init1.ora:
    CREATE SPFILE = 's_params.ora'
    FROM PFILE = '$ORACLE_HOME/work/t_init1.ora';
    When you create a nondefault server parameter file, you subsequently start up the database by first creating a traditional parameter file containing the following single line:
    spfile = 's_params.ora'
    The name of this parameter file must comply with the naming conventions of your operating system. You then use the single-line parameter file in the STARTUP command. The following example shows how to start up the database, assuming that the single-line parameter file is named new_param.ora:
    STARTUP PFILE=new_param.ora

  • SQL Developer High Memory Consumption 3.2.20.09.87

    Hello,
    I have been using SQL developer for quite some time and had initially had problems in the past with high memory consuption when I use this tool.
    I have received and applied advice from this forum and while it had helped a little, the majority of the high memory consuption remained an issue.
    I finally got more time to dig around and try to specifically isolate where the problem seems to be coming from and here is what I found.
    *1)* I have removed the Check for Updates feature
    *2)* I have turned off many of the extensions except for DBA Navigator, Real Time SQL Monitoring, SearchBar and Snippet.
    *3)* When I start a fresh SQL Developer Session and initiate a Oracle Connection the application consumes roughly 148 meg fo RAM
    *4)* When I open my Windows Task Manager and watch the memory allocated to SQL Developer I notice it goes up when I move my mouse over the SQL Developer tool and When I run through menus at roughly 5k a second or so and the memory is never released back to the system.
    *5)* When I run a Large SQL to the grid the memory jumps by about 100 meg or so and will continue to do so every time I repeat the SQL until SQL Developer consumes roughly 748 meg of RAM.
    *6)* 748 Meg of RAM seems to be the number when SQL Developer (with one Oracle connection) no longer continues to consume more and then not return the memory to the system.
    Is there a way to have SQL Developer automatically clear up it's active memory usage without closing it down and restarting it?
    Why does SQL Developer continue to consume more and more memory just from moving your mouse over it and/or by navigating menus?
    Here is my About Detail;

    Aces!!! You nailed it Gary...
    Thank you.
    I applied fixed noted in Re: Reduce SQLDeveloper memory footprint with JDK 1.7
    For others, to summarize my changes.
    product\11.2.0\client_3\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf
    AddVMOption -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions
    AddVMOption -XX:+UseG1GC
    AddVMOption -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50
    AddVMOption -XX:GCPauseIntervalMillis=200
    AddVMOption -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
    AddVMOption -Xms50M
    AddVMOption -Xmx384M
    AddVMOption -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=10
    AddVMOption -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=10
    product\11.2.0\client_3\sqldeveloper\ide\bin\ide.conf
    comment the following two lines as shown below
    #AddVMOption -Xmx640M
    #AddVMOption -Xms128M
    Now SQL Developer runs at roughly 500 meg.
    I guess the only thing I have left to ask others reviewing this would be if there is a way to get these memory values down without having much adverse impacts on SQL Developer based on newer JVM switches/functionalities.
    The posts that drove these changes are old from a technologoical perspective :) 2010.
