How to restrict logging on portal (Performance issue)

Hi guys,
does anyone know how to restrict logging of the portal? Even though I made a change on Visual Administrator -> Services -> Log Configurator setting ALL categories to severity = 'Error', I keep getting 'Info' severity traces logged in defaultTrace.trc (viewed by Logg Viewer). Which in practise means tons of logged trace information! I think this might be one of the reasons we have been experiencing performance issues lately.
Does anyone know how to restrict this logging?
Any help greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Frank

Hi,
I would not only set the severity of categories to 'Error' but also locations to 'Error'.
A log controller - can be a "category" or a "location". Categories are used for "logging" and represent problem areas such as network, database, security, user interface, etc. Identified by a slash-separated ('/') path of names, prefixed with an additional slash. Locations are used for "tracing" and correspond to places in the development components. Identified by a dot-separated ('.') path of names, which is often the name of the respective java package.
Greetings,

Portal performance issue

We're working on Portal 3.0.9.8.3, applied all mentioned "magic settings" suggested by Oracle support, but still encountering the poor performance problem. Our site is running load balancing on 2 Application Servers, pointing to 1 database server.
During a performance test, while trying to open a total of 100 browsers in 10 PCs (10 browsers for 1 PC) accessing the welcome page (with some Oracle provided portlets like Set Languages, Login, HTML Portlet, and 2 tailor-made JSP portlets) at the same time (should be "almost at the same time"), the CPU of the AS boosted up to 100% for quite a long while, but the CPU of the DB seems normal. And only some of the browsers can access the welcome page, whilst some errors like the following appeared:
"Portlet Timeout";
"Timeout occurred whilst retrieving page meta data";
"Portlet could not be contacted";
"HTTP 500 internal server error", etc.
Did anyone try similar performance test before? Is there any reference site running Portal successfully on top of Windows 2000 platform, with the capability of around 1,000 concurrent access?

Michael,
Did you read the following document ?
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/OTN_CONTENT/MAINPAGE/ARCHITECTURE/TROUBLESHOOTING_ISSUES_IN_ORACLE9IAS_PORTAL2.HTM
This document (amongst other things) explains how to analyse problems like this.
Do you have error logs from Apache, Jserv and the database ?
Have you run the portal in debug mode (_debug=1) ?
If so, what did it say ?
How long do the custom portlets take to return ?
Is the content cached ?
etc etc
You need to understand also that your testing method is a little primitive, if you have 10 pc's with 10 browsers open, then you will have instantiated 10 sessions, each of the browsers will be accessing the same session on the PC as we write a cookie for the session the first time you connect, (unless of course you didn't log on)
Just because you have the browser sessions started does not mean that you have a concurrent user community. Remember that HTTP is a disconnect request/response protocol, there is no notion of being concurrent. You should operate in terms of page requests per second (preq/s).
With this in mind, consider that my.oracle.com, which has over 300,000 registered users, only gets 120preq/s. You can read about this further in the whitepaper 'Architecting my.oracle.com' on OTN.
If you have applied 3.0.9.8.3 then you will have access to the performance logging features exposed in that patch. I would suggest that you use that to try and analyse the problems you are seeing.

How to restrict access to portal based on entitlements.

Hi,
I am working on weblogic 8.1 portal project. i want to restrict the user to access
the portal based on the entitlements. However when user try to login he is seeing
Weblogic Error 403 forbidden page. How to display custom error page, instead of
weblogic default error page.
How to programatically check whether user has access to portal or not based on
entitlements.
Please give me code.

Chada,
The 403 is by design. If you want to place a page in front of one or more
portal desktops and only show links to desktops the current user is entitled
to, review the attachment.

Archvie log generation and performance issue

Hi there,
I am facing some problem with archvie log file which is significantly degrading database performance.
Please go thru below details
there are some long running transaction(DML) performed in our database and during this time massive Archive log files are generating,
here the problem comes, This operation is running for about 1 hr and during this time the database performance is very slow even user logging in to the application is taking time.
There is enouch undo tablespace and undo retention configured for the database,
I am not getting why its making such a bad impact on database performance.
----- What could be the reason for this performance degrade -------
----- Is there any way to find which "user session" and "transaction" are generating too many archive log file -----
Your quick response will be highly appriciated

To resolve your problem with performance degradation first thing to do is to collect more information during performance degradation.
You can do that running AWR or statspack reports during specified time (as it is said in post before) or checking tables like v$session_wait or v$system_event. Then search in report where are you losing your time or find expensive queries.
Run AWR or statspack reports and post information about wait events and then you will probably get more precise help. You can also post information about Oracle version, host, optimizer parameters or similar relevant information.
The more information you provide, the better help you'll get.
btw
Do you receive "checkpoint not complete" in alert log during excessive redo generation?
You can also check if application can reduce redo generation using 'nologging'. If you have transaction that deletes whole table, you could use truncate instead.

How to restrict access to portal when LDAP is used ?

Hello,
We implemented an XSS portal using Active Directory as user source. However we are facing a worry : all declared users in LDAP are allowed to connect to portal, even they are not declared within our ECC6 backend.
I have been told that in an normal situation, unauthorized users should be stopped after authentication by a white screen informing that they are not allowed to access the application.
Can anyone tell me what miss in the configuration that I set ?
Regards,
Sabrina CARK

So all the users who fall within the group everyone will have the default role and will be able to logon to the portal. However since they dont have access within the R3 they wont be able to execute any transaction if you have enbled SSO with logon tickets (AND NOT User Mapping).
If I were to configure a scenario like you, I would put in all the users who have access to XSS into a common group and do role mapping for XSS roles only with that group. This would ensure that the XSS tabs are visible only to members from that group. While all other users will have access just to the Home tab post logon

How to solve the report generating performance issue in BI server

->I HAVE USED ONLY ONE PIVOT IN MY REPORT QUERY AND THE REPORT QUERY IS FULLY DEPEND ON ONE FACT TABLE
->IN THE REPORT I AM SHOWING DATA BY MORE THAN 150 COLUMNS.
->I HAVE USED REPORT FUNCTIONS FOR 3 FIELDS IN THE REPORT.ALL THREE REPORT FUNCTIONS JUST ADD TWO COLUMN FIELD AND MAKE IT IN TO ONE COLUMN FILED
->REPORT QUERY INDIVIDUALLY RUNNING BY 2.40 SECONDS.WHEN I USED THAT TO GENERATE A REPORT IT TAKES TO RUN MORE THAN 8 MINS.WHY THIS DELAY?WILL YOU EXPLAIN
Edited by: 873091 on Jul 18, 2011 3:50 AM

Hello Dude,
So from your post I understand that there is a report that basically takes 8 minutes to retrieve the data, but when you get the logical sql from the cache, and run it against the database, it only takes less than 20 seconds to retrieve the same data?
This should never happen. There might be a delay of more 20-40 seconds more than the time taken against the database to load the page elements etc. Is this happening for only this particular report or all reports ? Are you running the query against the same instance's database or a different one?
Try to re-boot all the BI services and run the report again, if the issue still exists, enable caching and try.
Assign points if helpful.
Thanks,
-Amith.

How to update this query and avoid performance issue?

Hi, guys:
I wonder how to update the following query to make it weekend day aware. My boss want the query to consider business days only. Below is just a portion of the query:
select count(distinct cmv.invoicekey ) total ,'3' as type, 'VALID CALL DATE' as Category
FROM cbwp_mv2 cmv
where cmv.colresponse=1
And Trunc(cmv.Invdate) Between (Trunc(Sysdate)-1)-39 And (Trunc(Sysdate)-1)-37
And Trunc(cmv.Whendate) Between cmv.Invdate+37 And cmv.Invdate+39the CBWP_MV2 is a materialized view to tune query. This query is written for a data warehouse application, the CBWP_MV2 will be updated every day evening. My boss wants the condition in the query to consider only business days, for example, if (Trunc(Sysdate)-1)-39 falls in weekend, I need to move the range begins from next coming business day, if (Trunc(Sysdate)-1)-37 falls in weekend, I need to move the range ends from next coming business day. but I should always keep the range within 3 business days. If there is overlap on weekend, always push to later business days.
Question: how to implement it and avoid performance issue? I am afraid that if I use a function, it greatly reduce the performance. This view already contains more than 100K rows.
thank you in advance!
Sam

You are already using a function, since you're using TRUNC on invdate and whendate.
If you have indexes on those columns, then they will not be used because of the TRUNC.
Consider omitting the TRUNC or testing with Function Based Indexes.
Regarding business days:
If you search this forum, you'll find lots of examples.

Performance issue at Webi/Universe

Hi BO Experts,
I am new to Business objects.
I have developed a new universe and webi reports, but I am facing some performance issues at webi side. Below I am furnishing my development details; please let me know how I can overcome with the performance issues.
1. Created a Query on Multiprovider (query is having nearly 125 objects (Info objects (restricted with hierarchies), navigational attributes & restricted key figures).
2. Developed a new universe on the query.
3. As part of performance- restricted the some fields at query filters and also applied conditions at universe level.
4. Created a webi report and it is generating the results for 8 fields (4 characteristics (hierarchy levels) + 4 restricted key figures) and also I used 5 conditions at webi report filters.
Finally, my Webi results are matching with BW query results, but Webi report is taking more time ( approximately 15 min. ) when I compare with BW query results( approximately 1min. ) and MDX query(approximately 2 min.) results. Requesting t you to please let me know, if I need to do any changes at universe or webi or bw query level to overcome with this performance issue.
Awaiting for your response.
Regards,
PRK

Hi,
Here are few steps to improve the performance:
Try to build the aggrregrates at Cube leve for those Characterstics which u are using frequenlty in WEBI Reports.
As you are using Hierarchy, the report performance will be always not good.
I suggest this can be best handled in BI Modelling Level only instead of handling the same at WEBI Report Level as at WEBI Reports we dont have much options to improve the performance
Also, I suggest you to look into the Query performance at BEX Level and then use the Query for further connections

Performance Issue-;How to restrict the total output of the report.

Hi Experts
I need your advise to resolve one performance issue in my BI Publisher report.
My report query is extracting more than 80000 records at once. To load these records into the report template it is taking all most 14 to 15 hours. Unfortunately i cannot change my logic to put some more filter to restrict the query output, as this is the requirement from the client.
Is there any way i can restrict my report so that it will extract the first 1000 record and on the event of pressing next it will extract the next 1000 record and so on from the point when it left in last time.
Kindly let me know if you have any solution for this.
Thanks in advance.

How do you log SAP vendor activity performed during an OSS Connection?

Hello Everyone,
What is the best and cost effective way to log SAP vendor activity while they are connected to perform OSS related work?
The environment under review provides an OSS SAP support ID and password to the vendor to facilitate the authentication, however, no security audit logging is performed. The SAP team is raising performance issues as the reason why the logging is not turned on.
Is there a way to restrict the security logging only to the OSS support ID and also determine the activity performed during the session? Basically, how can the internal team know that an unauthorized activity was performed during the connection and / or someone made several failed attempts to authenticate through the OSS connection?
Thank you.

It also records the GUI event and is regardless of the success of starting the activity, let alone completing it.
In my books it is "fluffy" security which is inherently flawed for the purpose you are using it for. The main reason for the records is response times.
It only works because authorization concepts are sometimes inherently flawed in their implementation as well.... so people believe what they see...
But for forensics it is usefull IF you are fast enough...
Cheers,
Julius

How should I report forum performance issues?

The forums rely heavily on the caching features of browsers to improve the speed of page rendering. Performance of these forums should greatly improve after a few pages because more and more of the images, css and javascript is cached in the browser. As a consequence, when reporting forums performance issues the report should include some information on the state of the browser cache to determine whether the issue is a browser issue or a server issue. Such detailed information is generally not available from just watching the browser screen, but needs to come from specialized tools such as performance monitor plugins and recording proxies.
The preferred report method for performance issues is to use the speed reporting features build into or available as a plugin for a browser for both the page you want to report a problem with and several refence pages in the site. Detailed instructions are listed below separated out for different browsers. If possible, please use Firefox for submitting the report because it provides an export format that can be read back electronically.
Known performance issues
The performance issues with any screen with a Rich Text Editor, such as the Reply window and the compose Private Message window have been acknowleged and improvements are being implemented.
Mozilla Firefox (preferred)
Warning: it is currently not recommended to generate a speed report when logged in. The speed report has enough detail for somebody else to hijack your session and impersonate you on the forums. If you really must report while logged in, make sure you log out your browser after generating the speed report and wait at least 4 hours before posting.

From the Develop menu select “Show Web Inspector”.
Collecting the performance information and exporting works exactly the same as in Google Chrome. Please refer to the instructions for Google Chrome.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
IE does not have native features to analyze web traffic. No plugins have been found that produce the required information (please let us know if we missed any). For now, please reproduce the issue with Firefox, Chrome or Safari.
Please note that due to the reliance on Javascript for the interactive effects the performance of these forums will be much better on MS IE 8 then on previous versions of MS IE.

How do I handle large resultsets in CRXI without a performance issue?

Hello -
Problem Definition
I have a performance problem displaying large/huge resultset of data on a crystal report. The report takes about 4 minutes or more depending on the resultset size.
How do you handle large resultsets in Crystal Reports without a performance issue?
Environment
Crystal Reports XI
Apache WebSvr 2.X, Jboss 4.2.3, Struts
Java Reporting Component (JRC),Crystal Report Viewer (CRV)
Firefox
DETAILS
I use the CRXI thick client to build my report (.rpt) and then use it in my webapplication (webapp) under Jboss.
User specifies the filter criteria to generate a report (date range etc) and submits the request to the webapp. Webapp queries the database, gets a "resultset".
I initialize the JRC and CRV according to all the specifications and finally call the "processHttpRequest" method of Crystal Report Viewer to display the report on browser.
So.....
- Request received to generate a report with a filter criteria
- Query DB to get resultset
- Initialize JRC and CRV
- finally display the report by calling
reportViewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, request.getSession().getServletContext(), null);
The performance problem is within the last step. I put logs everywhere and noticed that database query doesnt take too long to return resultset. Everything processes pretty quickly till I call the processHttpRequest of CRV. This method just hangs for a long time before displaying the report on browser.
CRV runs pretty fast when the resultset is smaller, but for large resultset it takes a long long time.
I do have subreports and use Crystal report formulas on the reports. Some of them are used for grouping also. But I dont think Subreports is the real culprit here. Because I have some other reports that dont have any subreports, and they too get really slow displaying large resultsets.
Solutions?
So obviously I need a good solution to this generic problem of "How do you handle large resultsets in Crystal Reports?"
I have thought of some half baked ideas.
A) Use external pagination and fetch data only for the current page being displayed. But for this, CRXI must allow me to create my own buttons (previous, next, last), so I can control the click event and fetch data accordingly. I tried capturing events by registering event handler "addToolbarCommandEventListener" of CRV. But my listener gets invoked "after" processHttpRequest method completes, which doesnt help.
Some how I need to be able to control the UI by adding my own previous page, next page, last page buttons and controlling it's click events.
B) Automagically have CRXI use a javascript functionality, to allow browser side page navigation. So maybe the first time it'll take 5 mins to display the report, but once it's displayed, user can go to any page without sending the request back to server.
C) Try using Crystal Reports 2008. I'm open to using this version, but I couldnt figureout if it has any features that can help me do external pagination or anything that can handle large resultsets.
D) Will using the Crystal Reports Servers like cache server/application server etc help in any way? I read a little on the Crystal Page Viewer, Interactive Viewer, Part Viewer etc....but I'm not sure if any of these things are going to solve the issue.
I'd appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction.

Essentialy the answer is use smaller resultsets or pull from the database directly instead of using resultsets.

How we can see logged in portal user

hello SAP EP gurus,
How i can know how man users are logged on my EP Portal and which user is using which report.Is there any way to find out this thing.?
Also how we can see the performance of our portal?
Waiting for earliest reply.
regards
Neeraj Pandey

Hi,
You can use " portal Activity Report" for this purpose.
alternatively, if you have access to server you can check this through visual admin
simply open visual admin,open on your servernode --services,click on Performance Tracing,click on JARM and choose what you want to see.
its easy to use standard portal Activity Report.
else you can use third party reports loke "google analytics" which will give the number of users logged in, what the navigation of each user, from which geographical area the user has logged in and all about the user logged into the portal and portal performance.
you need to login with your gmail id and password and download the code and use it in you portal application... its very easy to use.
