MDX Query Desinger Slow to Respond on a WAN

We are seeing the MDX Designer take a long time to open and to select filters. Running a Query is fast, but selecting filters from dimension members that only have 2 to 10 members can take up to a minute to display and the same is true when dragging
the member into the Filter pane. Executing the query is not an issue and the returned results even 1000's of rows is fairly quick.

Hi rayishome,
According to your description, when you using multiple parameters in Filter in MDX Query Designer, it takes long time to execute the query. Right?
In this scenario, I want to know the version of SSRS you are using. It has reported similar issue in SSRS 2008, and this issue has been released in both SQL 2008 SP1 and SQL 2008 R2. Please refer to link below:
SSRS BIDS Query Designer very slow when using multiple parameters
Also please refer to a blog below:

MDX Query much slower for users without administrativ rights

We have a SQL 2012 SP1 with CU9 installed and run a MDX query against a Cube. The Problem is that the query runs very slow for a user without administrativ persmission on the cube. With admin rights it takes 3 seconds and without 30 seconds. I can't find
any error in the query so maybe someone can pin point me in the right direction.The Role has all reading information it needs.
This is the Query:
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Blocked Consignment], [Measures].[Consignment in Inspection],
[Measures].[Restricted Consignment], [Measures].[Unrestricted Consignment] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY
{ ([Date].[Date].[Date].ALLMEMBERS * [Materials].[Part Number].[Part Number].ALLMEMBERS *
[Materials].[Key].[Key].ALLMEMBERS * [Sold To].[Name].[Name].ALLMEMBERS *
[Stock Information].[Plant - Storage Location].[Storage Location].ALLMEMBERS * [Non Zero].[Zero Stock Status].[Zero Stock Status].ALLMEMBERS ) }
ON ROWS
FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET("[Non Zero].[Zero Stock Status].&[No]", CONSTRAINED) )
ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET("[Stock Information].[Storage Location].&[1090]", CONSTRAINED) )
ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET("[Stock Information].[Plant].&[1090]", CONSTRAINED) )
ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET("[Sold To].[Name].[All]", CONSTRAINED) )
ON COLUMNS FROM [Stock Snapshot]))))
WHERE ( IIF( STRTOSET("[Stock Information].[Plant].&[1090]", CONSTRAINED).Count = 1, STRTOSET("[Stock Information].[Plant].&[1090]", CONSTRAINED), [Stock Information].[Plant].currentmember ),
IIF( STRTOSET("[Stock Information].[Storage Location].&[1090]", CONSTRAINED).Count = 1, STRTOSET("[Stock Information].[Storage Location].&[1090]", CONSTRAINED), [Stock Information].[Storage Location].currentmember ) )
Any one came across this is or is it a bug?

Can you check which build of SSAS you've got installed? It looks similar to this bug:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2905298/en-us
Apart from that, if you have used cell security in your role, it would be expected that query performance would be slower for users of that role.

MDX query Running slow in SSRS than in SSMS

Hi,
I have a SSRS report which takes 37 secs to execute a single MDX query whereas the same query takes less than 1 sec in SSMS.
I tried removing the parameters and hardcoding default values, still it takes same time. I also tried using OLE DB data source which also takes same time.
Please help.

Hi Purush,
According to your description, the query execute time in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) takes less than that in SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) report, right? As per my understanding, this is normal phenomenon. Because when we run a query on the
query designer of the report, first we need pass the query to database, then execute the query and then return the result to query designer. So this 1 second can the time that used to pass the query to database and return the result.
Hope this helps.

SLOW MDX Query in an Environment but Fast in another

A query runs slow in one environment but fast another : here's what I looked for so far without any luck.
It takes 2 seconds to execute the query below in QA vs 20 seconds in prod.
QA cube size is 430.81 MB - 474.54 MB on PROD
Cubes match in environments
Compared QA and PROD properties and they match (database and server Analysis services)
Restarted services on both machines
Looking at SQL server provider seems that the query has no significant effect on the CPU
Seems there's a spike in pages/sec when the MDX query runs – the VM size is slightly > in PROD than in QA this shouldn’t affect it .Looked at the Storage Engine queries ,MDX counters and Nothing stands out
here's the query
SELECT NON EMPTY
CrossJoin(CrossJoin(Hierarchize(AddCalculatedMembers({DrilldownLevel({[Sector].[Sector].[All]})})),
Hierarchize(AddCalculatedMembers({DrilldownLevel({[Security].[Sec Type].[All]})}))),
Hierarchize(AddCalculatedMembers({DrilldownLevel({[Broker].[Broker].[All]})})))
DIMENSION PROPERTIES PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME,[Sector].[Sector].[Sector],[Broker].[Broker].[Broker],[Broker].[Broker].[Company Code]
ON COLUMNS
FROM [TradeAndCommission]
WHERE ([Measures].[Broker Par Pct]) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, LANGUAGE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FONT_FLAGS

Help rerading the MDX query

Hi Gurus, I am at a learning stage to learn the MDX query.Could anyone help me with some link or book from where i can getthe syntax of some function with examples to understandthem. thanks 

2 good books are MDX Solutions Second Edition, by George Spofford. This is a very good book, in depth, with a lot of material. George Spofford is also a regular contributor to this site, so if you have questions about any of the material, you could post here and he has proven to be very good about responding to questions. Another good book is Fast Track to MDX. This is also a good book. It's a quicker read and a little easier to get through then MDX Solutions, but the concepts are more fundamental and not as in depth, I think both books are worth reading. Other than that, there is a lot of material on this site, tech guides, white papers, etc that should be useful too. HTH

VAL_FIELD selection to determine RSDRI or MDX query: performance tuning

according to on of the HTG I am working on performance tuning. one of the tip is to try to query base members by using BAS(xxx) in the expension pane of BPC report.
I did so and found an interesting issue in one of the COPA report.
with income statement, when I choose one node gross_profit, saying BAS(GROSS_PROFIT), it generates RSDRI query as I can see in UJSTAT. when I choose its parent, BAS(DIRECT_INCOME), it generates MDX query!
I checked DIRECT_INCOME has three members, GROSS_PROFIT, SGA, REV_OTHER. , none of them has any formulars.
in stead of calling BAS(DIRECT_INCOME), I called BAS(GROSS_PROFIT),BAS(SGA),BAS(REV_OTHER), I got RSDRI query again.
so in smmary,
BAS(PARENT) =>MDX query.
BAS(CHILD1)=>RSDRI query.
BAS(CHILD2)=>RSDRI query.
BAS(CHILD3)=>RSDRI query.
BAS(CHILD1),BAS(CHILD2),BAS(CHILD3)=>RSDRI query
I know VAL_FIELD is SAP reserved name for BPC dimensions. my question is why BAS(PARENT) =>MDX query.?
interestingly I can repeat this behavior in my system. my intention is to always get RSDRI query,
George

Ok - it turns out that Crystal Reports disregards BEx Query variables when put in the Default Values section of the filter selection.
I had mine there and even though CR prompted me for the variables AND the SQL statement it generated had an INCLUDE statement with hose variables I could see by my result set that it still returned everything in the cube as if there was no restriction on Plant for instance.
I should have paid more attention to the Info message I got in the BEx Query Designed. It specifically states that the "Variable located in Default Values will be ignored in the MDX Access".
After moving the variables to the Characteristic Restrictions my report worked as expected. The slow response time is still an issue but at least it's not compounded by trying to retrieve all records in the cube while I'm expecting less than 2k.
Hope this helps someone else

How to speed up a MDX Query

Hi Javier,
According to your description, you want to optimize the performance of above query. Right?
In MDX query, please avoid run-time checks in an MDX calculation that result in a slow execution path to make the MDX more efficient. If you use the Case and IF functions to perform condition checks which must be resolved many times during query resolution,
you will have a slow execution path. Rewrite these queries using the SCOPE function to quickly reduce the calculation space to which an MDX calculation refers. Please refer to links below:

Filters not getting passed in MDX query while using SAP BW with OBIEE

Hello,
I've been working on OBIEE with SAP BW as back-end. I've created some reports & those are working fine when there is less amount of data. But when I try to run a report with 3 dimensions & 1 fact it throws an error saying "No more storage space available for extending an internal table". When I checked MDX query, I found that the filters that I had applied to request & also selected from prompts are not getting passed in that query. So, I tried running a simple request using a simple filter in Answers. Although this request returns results but I can't see filter conditions in query. MDX query always show crossjoin but I can't see filter conditions anywhere.
Is it the normal OBIEE behaviour OR am I doing something wrong in there? Can you please help me out with this?
Thanks,
Rocky

Hello Sainath,
We tried those things. But it is still giving same error.
State: HY00. Code: 10058. [NQODBC][SQL_STATE:HY000][nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. XML/A error returned from the server: Fault code: "XMLAnalysisError.0X80000005". Fault string: "The XML for Analysis provider encountered an error: MDX result contains too many cells (more than 1 million)". (HY000)
The problem here, I think, is the filter parameters are not getting passed in the MDX query. Any idea why would that happen? Is there any setting to do so?
Thanks in advance for help.

Rocky

I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues. The screen is very slow to respond. When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on. I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on

I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues. The screen is very slow to respond. When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on. I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on and back off. It is very, very frustrating. The other issue is that the battery drains very quickly. I have called Verizon numerous times regarding these issues. They tell me to do different things that never help. We eventually did a factory reset and it still has the same issues. Help! It is a brand new phone and unfortunately I am in a new two year contract. Ugh. Is there anyone out there who can help me?

I have done that several times. In fact, every time I call Verizon with my phone problems, they have me do the same things repeatedly. I keep telling them I have already done them but they insist they are SURE it will work this time. It never does. After doing the factory reset and it still not working correctly, they act like they are confused, almost like I am lying. I did what you suggested above on the slim chance it would work this time but it did not. I bought two S5's that day and the other one works perfectly fine. I know I got a bad phone. Verizon just does not listen. It is a bad phone. I just want a new phone that works properly. Is that too much to ask? I bought a new phone that has been bad from day one. Why oh why do I have to spend hours of my time on the phone, in the store, on the computer, trying to rectify this? It shouldn't be this difficult! Help please!!!

Need help in MDX query

Hi All
I am new to MDX language and need a MDX functions/query on the cube to get the required output, Given below is the scenario with the data.
I am maintaining the data in a table in dataMart with given structure. We have the data at day and weekly in a single table with granularity indicator and count is the measure group column. While loading the data in to mart table we are populaiting the week
Key from week table and Month key from month table and joining in the cube.
we need to calculate the inventory for a particular month. If a user selects a particular month the output would be count = 30 as a measure called Closed and count = 16 as a measure value called Open.
Need a MDX query to get output.

Hi Venkatesh,
According to your description, you need to count the members with conditions in a particular month, right?
In MDX, we can achieve the requirement by using Count and Filter function, I have tested it on AdventureWorks cube, the sample query below is for you reference.
with member [ConditionalCount]
as
count(filter([Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2008]&[2].children,[Measures].[Internet Order Count]>50))
select {[Measures].[Internet Order Count],[ConditionalCount]} on 0,
[Date].[Calendar].[Date].members on 1
from
(select [Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2008]&[2] on 0 from
[Adventure Works]
Reference
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144823.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms146037.aspx
If this is not what you want, please elaborate your requirement, such as the detail structure of your cube, so that we can make further analysis.

SSRS report with tabular model – MDX query CoalesceEmpty function does not return the provided string value

Hello everyone,
I created following calculated member in MDX query. I am using it in one of the report parameter in dataset (single select dropdown list as report parameter).
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS
CoalesceEmpty([Customer].[National Account Code].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION,'None')
I would like to display 'None' text at the top of the dropdown list values. So that when user selects 'None' then this parameter will not considered in MDX query else the selected National Account Code will be considered to filter report data. But,
the above return blank/empty value for [Customer].[National Account Code].& member though I specified 'None' as text in CoalesceEmpty function. Any advice would be appreciated.

SSRS report with cube – MDX query how to get an extra row with value '0'.

Hello everyone,
I'm unable to write the MDX query to get '0' value as first row in output. Following is my MDX query:
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Dummy] AS   '0'
SELECT NON EMPTY Union( {[Measures].[Amount] },{[Measures].[Dummy]}) ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY { ([Customer].[Customer Nbr].[Customer Nbr].ALLMEMBERS * [Fiscal].[Year].[Year].ALLMEMBERS ) }
having [Measures].[Amount] > 5000
ON ROWS FROM [cube]
With above query, the output returns the value '0' as a separate column.
I would like to get it in form of first row for [Measures].[Amount]. Like,
Amount
0
500
200
100
What needs to be changed to achieve the above result? I'm planning to use the above value in line chart to start the line from 0th value as described in following URL. (Note: The below URL is using SQL query and not MDX expressions.)

The round brackets in your expression are forcing an implicit crossjoin between the 3 lines. I would do the following which creates a set of the DummyYear plus the real year members and then crossjoin that with the customer set.
WITH MEMBER [Fiscal].[Year].DummyYear AS   '0'
SELECT NON EMPTY {[Measures].[Amount]} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY {[Fiscal].[Year].DummyYear,
     [Fiscal].[Year].[Year].MEMBERS} *
            [Customer].[Customer Nbr].[Customer Nbr].MEMBERS
having [Measures].[Amount] > 5000
ON ROWS FROM [cube]

Firefox is very slow to respond when opening and nearly always stops responding altogether even refusing to react to Task Manager "End Program@ command. The "not responding@ error message also comes up during navigation on line.

Firefox is very slow to respond when opening and nearly always stops responding altogether, even refusing to react to the Task Manager "End Program" command. The "not responding" error message also comes up during navigation on line. Several attempt have to be made to get on line. A loss of stability seems to be endemic at the moment.

Try following the instructions here: [[Firefox hangs]]

Why is my firefox slow to respond to every single mouse click and every typed word, slow to load web pages, and sometimes crashes?

When I click on things, it takes forever before firefox responds. When I'm typing emails or what not, I will type and the word will show up a few seconds later. Nothing is immediate anymore. Even when I try to use the scroll bar, it is slow to respond. Sometimes firefox clashes and it tells me that the plug-in container has stopped working.

I went to Settings > iCloud > Documents and Data, then turned off documents and data, and now it is back to normal. Apparently you cannot take advantage of both on the iphone 4 and 4s.

How to union results from 3 different dimensions in where clause with or - Mdx query

Hi
I have a MDX Query and i need to pass the variable values to it by dynamically.
Each time it will get any one attribute from three dimensions.
Select
{} ON Columns,
{} ON Rows
From
Cube
Where
[Dimension1].[Attribut].&[Value]
or
[Dimension2].[Attribut2].&[Value]
or
[Dimension3].[Attribut3].&[Value]
So It is working for two different values by using union and cross join.
Can you please provide the solution ..
Thanks in advance

Hi Philip
Thanks for replying me.
I tried on that way, In my mdx query i am using one slice attribute (i.e [Customer].[Gender].allmembers) in rows so getting error "The Hierarchy already appears in Axis1".
SELECT
{[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] } ON 0,
NON EMPTY
{[Customer].[Gender].allmembers } ON 1 -- Used
FROM
[Adventure Works]
WHERE
[Customer].[Gender].&[M]
,[Product].[Size Range].[(All)]
,[Customer].[Country].[All Customers]
[Customer].[Gender].[All Customers]
,[Product].[Size Range].&[XL]
,[Customer].[Country].[All Customers]
[Customer].[Gender].[All Customers]
,[Product].[Size Range].[(All)]
,[Customer].[Country].&[Australia]
Can you provide alternate ways to get resolved.
Thanks in advance
