Need help on monitoring poor performance in BIWS

Hello All,
We have a strange behavior with all our Dashboard on SAP 4.0 SP5 FP3 with BIWS connexions. 1 time on 10 (approx.) the BI Web Service connexion take so long. I mean in normal circonstance, it take 2 seconds, then it take 30 seconds, 1 minute and more to return the result.
We build a Jmeter scenario to find a pattern without success.
Just to help, by example it when we call this.
/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/queryasaservice/biws?cuid=AVBUa5WAagZFmFxSbw77INI&authType=secEnterprise&locale=fr_CA&timeout=60&ConvertAnyType=true
I know it depend a lot of things, and we try a lot of things too but I'm trying to isolate where it take so long.
What we do so far.
1) Close all services not needs. That means at the end it keep only
CMS, Input / Output, APS Visualization, APS Webi, WebiPS. (No need Dashboard services...on only BIWS)
2) I try to captures E2E traces but can't figure out what to check...Too much lines.
Wow!
3) One interresting test I made is try to open dashboard on production where the problem is and call BIWS on acceptance environnement where it's always fast. The result it's still slow. So, I don't think it's not the web services by itself which is slow. It's probably the CMS, the network, the disk.
We have a big environnement , we run thousand reports per day. So it's probably not the disk or the network...But we never know.
Any idea where to look ?

Just to help (maybe) people with this problem which we think we find why it's slow in some cases.
What we realize is the fact that if webi instance (last instance) where you consume the web service is big, and I talk here the hole instance , not only the block you define for your web service. If the instance is big, it make all the difference,
So, if you have a webi for 300,000 lines but your web service contain only 50 lines, BO will retreive all 300,000 first, like if you view last instance in lauchpad
We try to understand why BO doing this. And the only reason we can find is because in some cases you would like to filter on your web service outside of the block you define.
BO should think about this and give us a way to disable the filtering outside.
So the solution we try now is to build send the web service to excel, and build another web service on top of this. This we finalize with only 50 lines.
Hope it help

Need help in optimising the performance of a query

Need help in optimising the performance of a query. Below is the query that is executed on TABLE_A, TABLE_B and TABLE_C with record counts as 10M, 10m and 42 (only) respectively and it takes around 5-7 minutes to get 40 records:
SELECT DISTINCT a.T_ID_, a.FIRSTNAME, b.T_CODE, b.PRODUCT,
CASE WHEN TRUNC(b.DATE) +90 = TRUNC(SYSDATE) THEN -90 WHEN TRUNC(b.DATE) +30 = TRUNC(SYSDATE) THEN -30 ELSE 0 END AS T_DATE FROM TABLE_B b
INNER JOIN TABLE_A a ON (a.T_ID_ = b.T_ID_) LEFT JOIN TABLE_C c ON b.PRODUCT = c.PRODUCT
WHERE b.STATUS = 'T' AND (b.TYPE = 'ACTION'
AND ( TRUNC(b.DATE) + 1 = TRUNC(SYSDATE) ) ) AND b.PRODUCT = 2;
Note: Indices on the join columns are available in the respective tables
Please let me know if there is any better way to write it.

Need help in improving the performance for the sql query

Thanks in advance for helping me.
I was trying to improve the performance of the below query. I tried the following methods used merge instead of update, used bulk collect / Forall update, used ordered hint, created a temp table and upadated the target table using the same. The methods which I used did not improve any performance. The data count which is updated in the target table is 2 million records and the target table has 15 million records.
Any suggestions or solutions for improving performance are appreciated
SQL query:
update targettable tt
set mnop = 'G',
where ( x,y,z ) in
select a.x, a.y,a.z
from table1 a
where (a.x, a.y,a.z) not in (
select b.x,b.y,b.z
from table2 b
where 'O' = b.defg
and mnop = 'P'
and hijkl = 'UVW';

The methods which I used did not improve any performance. And that meant what? Surely if you spend all that time and effort to try various approaches, it should mean something? Failures are as important teachers as successes. You need to learn from failures too. :-)
The data count which is updated in the target table is 2 million records and the target table has 15 million records.Tables have rows btw, not records. Database people tend to get upset when rows are called records, as records exist in files and a database is not a mere collection of records and files.
The failure to find a single faster method with the approaches you tried, points to that you do not know what the actual performance problem is. And without knowing the problem, you still went ahead, guns blazing.
The very first step in dealing with any software engineering problem, is to identify the problem. Seeing the symptoms (slow performance) is still a long way from problem identification.
Part of identifying the performance problem, is understanding the workload. Just what does the code task the database to do?
From your comments, it needs to find 2 million rows from 15 million rows. Change these rows. And then write 2 million rows back to disk.
That is not a small workload. Simple example. Let's say that the 2 million row find is 1ms/row and the 2 million row write is also 1ms/row. This means a 66 minute workload. Due to the number of rows, an increase in time/row either way, will potentially have 2 million fold impact.
So where is the performance problem? Time spend finding the 2 million rows (where other tables need to be read, indexes used, etc)? Time spend writing the 2 million rows (where triggers and indexes need to be fired and maintained)? Both?

Need help improving XP SP3 performance on 4-core Mac Pro 2009

I'm running Windows XP SP3 under Boot Camp 3 (Mac OS X v. 10.6.2). Currently, XP is on a second partitioned HD, but it was previously running on a drive all its own with the same problems which are:
When I boot into Windows the sound stutters quite a bit. I updated the Realtek drivers and used the Apple USB device (24" LED speakers) but nothing completely got rid of the static/stuttering.
The real problem comes when running Left 4 Dead. Whenever I get to a new part of any level (where zombies are) the graphics freeze for up to a few seconds and the sound gets glitchy, repeating broken staticky snippets. I don't have other games installed but I get similar performance when watching a YouTube video in Firefox.
Is this normal for Windows on a Mac Pro or do other Mac Pro Boot Campers run Windows smoothly? I have seen YouTube videos of Windows running smoothly on MacBook Pros and iMacs. Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong.
Finally, I'm running two graphics cards, an ATI 4870 and an NVIDIA GT120. I've run with both on, one off, the other off, the NVIDIA removed, the NVIDIA installed. No matter what I do, the video glitchiness is always pretty bad. (The audio is also bad.)
Thanks in advance for any info or pointers.

I have had success running boot camp on an 8-core Mac Pro from 2009. I have an ATI 4870.
I initially used Windows 7 Beta (32bit) and then RC (64bit) and finally the shipping version (64 bit Professional).
32-Bit crippled Crysis performance for me (only the demo). I was able to run the game with most settings all the way up (excluding Anti-aliasing), at 1920x1080 and it ran fine for about one minute before hitting the hard-drive for about 10 seconds. This thrashing occurred repeatedly and I have up - that problem was resolved when I moved to 64bit Windows.
Other games I have played with no trouble are The Orange Box & Borderlands, each with maxed resolution and settings.
Optical audio and the front headphones work fine for me - though the 4 conductor cord does not recognize the microphone (from an iPhone headset) in Windows, which gets me down as it would be nice to audio-chat in some games.
Try these thing in this order if you can, and have not already:
Patch the game (though if this is happening in Firefox as well, it seems like an OS problem)
Update directX (I really have no clue here, I assume Windows does this automatically?)
Try demos of other games
Upgrade the OS to 64bit (Especially if you have over 3GB of ram
Go from XP to 7 (I have had no trouble with Windows 7 on my machine)
Try a DVI monitor (I am using a 21" Westinghouse, have never connected an Apple display)
Good luck!

Need help w monitor for COLOR

I have a quad core intel running the latest final cut. I do grading with COLOR. I want to hook up a CRT monitor to view what I am working on and not depend on my apple monitors. Can someone give me the scoop on this. We use an AjA IO but that seems to not work since my program reads monitors disabled (grayed out). Do I need a card? IF so, what is best? Surely some of you have great setups.... and I'd love to hear about a solution.

You need a dedicated video input/output card. Time for a little research as this is answered almost daily. Your IO will not work as it's a firewire interface. The following all make products to do what you want.

Need help creating applescript to perform automator actions.

Hi,
I am looking for help with an applescript the will tell automator to execute the steps of a workflow. I'm aware that I coud just run a workflow or even tell applescript to instruct automator to run the workflow, however, I am looking to make this part of a larger workflow and this method would save the hassel of having to create a new workflow outside of applescript each time.
I would like automator to "get folder contents" then "extract pdf text" to a "new file" with the "same name as original file" in the "same location as original" and "save as txt". This doesnt seem to difficult to me, however, I have limited knowledge of scripting at this time.
I appreciate anyones help...

Hi,
I'd say on a difficulty scale of 1-10, what you're asking for is a seven.
Automator is scriptable, but when you run a basic AppleScript like
tell application "Automator" to make new workflow
you immediately get taken to the dialog asking you to choose a type for your document (app, calendar plugin etc). So that's going to stop the AppleScript dead in its tracks. It might be possible to move on with GUI scripting (using AppleScript to click the buttons) but it would be a ferocious cludge.
I think the best approach would be to manually create an empty action as a starting point. You would then need an AppleScript that would duplicate the workflow file (so you've got a fresh one to duplicate next time), open it in Automator, add the appropriate actions, set the settings etc.
It all sounds a bit too complicated

Need help - connecting Monitor and TV at same time with component video

I have a mac mini, connected via DVI to a monitor - I bought a DVI splitter to connect the monitor to one port and the tv to the other via a DVI to Video adapter, using component video. When I plug in the DVI to Video adapter, the primary monitor loses its connection and I cannot seem to get the TV to recognize the signal - what am I doing wrong?

In my case, the Barco Cine7 CRT projector I would like to connect the new Mini to accepts a pretty wide variety of analog component video formats, but I cannot find a listing of what the Mini supports. Presuming I use a DVI to VGA adapter and then a VGA to RGB cable, can the mini video card output any one of the following analog component formats:
RGBs or RGsB - R, G and B with automatic sync detection between seperate sync (separate composite sync or with separate hor and vert. sync) or sync on green (composite sync)
RGB with tri level sync - R, G and B with separate tri level sync or with tri level sync on green.
Component video - R-Y, Y and B-Y with separate sync or with compositesync.
Component video with tri level sync - R-Y, Y and B-Y with separate tri level sync or with composite tri level sync.

How to monitor the performance of EBS iAS?

Hello All,
I am looking for your advise on how to monitor the performance of EBS (11i/R12) iAS
How to measure iAS worload during a certain period?
How to know the number of iAS hits/requests?
How to the iAS response time?
Regards,
Tareq

Thanks EBSDBA and Helios for your time.
Are there any scripts/reporting tool that helps me monitor iAS performance other than OEM for EBS?
Note:370583.1 is very helpful in monitoring JDBC connections. Are there any similar Notes/scripts that can answer my questions:
How to measure iAS workload during a certain period?
How to know the number of iAS hits/requests?
How to the iAS response time?
Appreciating your cooperation,
Tareq

Need help with performance & memory tuning in a data warehousing environment

Dear All,
Good Day.
We had successfully migrated from a 4 node half-rack V2 Exadata to a 2 node quarter rack X4-2 Exadata. However, we are facing some issues with performance only for few loads while others have in fact shown good improvement.
1. The total memory on the OS is 250GB for each node (two compute nodes for a quarter rack).
2. Would be grateful if someone could help me with the best equation to calculate the SGA and PGA ( and also in allocation of shared_pool, large_pool etc) or whether Automatic Memory Management is advisable?
3. We had run exachk report which suggested us to configure huge pages.
4. When we tried to increase the SGA to more than 30GB the system doesn't allow us to do so. We had however set the PGA to 85GB.
5. Also, we had observed that some of the queries involving joins and indexes are taking longer time.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Vikram.

Hi Vikram,
There is no formula about SGA and PGA, but the best practices for OLTP environments is for a give ammount of memory (which cannot be up to 80% of total RAM from server) you should make 80% to SGA and 20% to PGA. For Data Warehouse envs, the values are like 60% SGA and 40% PGA or it can be up to 50%-50%. Also, some docs disencourage you to keep the database in Automatic Memory Management when you are using a big SGA (> 10G).
As you are using a RAC environment, you should configure Huge Pages. And if the systems are not allowing you to increase memory, just take a look at the semaphore parameters, probably they are set lower values. And for the poor performance queries, we need to see explain plans, table structure and you would also analyze if smart scan is playing the game.
Regards.

Need help with Berkeley XML DB Performance

We need help with maximizing performance of our use of Berkeley XML DB. I am filling most of the 29 part question as listed by Oracle's BDB team.
Berkeley DB XML Performance Questionnaire
1. Describe the Performance area that you are measuring? What is the
current performance? What are your performance goals you hope to
achieve?
We are measuring the performance while loading a document during
web application startup. It is currently taking 10-12 seconds when
only one user is on the system. We are trying to do some testing to
get the load time when several users are on the system.
We would like the load time to be 5 seconds or less.
2. What Berkeley DB XML Version? Any optional configuration flags
specified? Are you running with any special patches? Please specify?
dbxml 2.4.13. No special patches.
3. What Berkeley DB Version? Any optional configuration flags
specified? Are you running with any special patches? Please Specify.
bdb 4.6.21. No special patches.
4. Processor name, speed and chipset?
Intel Xeon CPU 5150 2.66GHz
5. Operating System and Version?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Relase 4 Update 6
6. Disk Drive Type and speed?
Don't have that information
7. File System Type? (such as EXT2, NTFS, Reiser)
EXT3
8. Physical Memory Available?
4GB
9. Are you using Replication (HA) with Berkeley DB XML? If so, please
describe the network you are using, and the number of Replica’s.
No
10. Are you using a Remote Filesystem (NFS) ? If so, for which
Berkeley DB XML/DB files?
No
11. What type of mutexes do you have configured? Did you specify
–with-mutex=? Specify what you find inn your config.log, search
for db_cv_mutex?
None. Did not specify -with-mutex during bdb compilation
12. Which API are you using (C++, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, other) ?
Which compiler and version?
Java 1.5
13. If you are using an Application Server or Web Server, please
provide the name and version?
Oracle Appication Server 10.1.3.4.0
14. Please provide your exact Environment Configuration Flags (include
anything specified in you DB_CONFIG file)
Default.
15. Please provide your Container Configuration Flags?
final EnvironmentConfig envConf = new EnvironmentConfig();
envConf.setAllowCreate(true); // If the environment does not
// exist, create it.
envConf.setInitializeCache(true); // Turn on the shared memory
// region.
envConf.setInitializeLocking(true); // Turn on the locking subsystem.
envConf.setInitializeLogging(true); // Turn on the logging subsystem.
envConf.setTransactional(true); // Turn on the transactional
// subsystem.
envConf.setLockDetectMode(LockDetectMode.MINWRITE);
envConf.setThreaded(true);
envConf.setErrorStream(System.err);
envConf.setCacheSize(1024*1024*64);
envConf.setMaxLockers(2000);
envConf.setMaxLocks(2000);
envConf.setMaxLockObjects(2000);
envConf.setTxnMaxActive(200);
envConf.setTxnWriteNoSync(true);
envConf.setMaxMutexes(40000);
16. How many XML Containers do you have? For each one please specify:
One.
1. The Container Configuration Flags
          XmlContainerConfig xmlContainerConfig = new XmlContainerConfig();
          xmlContainerConfig.setTransactional(true);
xmlContainerConfig.setIndexNodes(true);
xmlContainerConfig.setReadUncommitted(true);
2. How many documents?
Everytime the user logs in, the current xml document is loaded from
a oracle database table and put it in the Berkeley XML DB.
The documents get deleted from XML DB when the Oracle application
server container is stopped.
The number of documents should start with zero initially and it
will grow with every login.
3. What type (node or wholedoc)?
Node
4. Please indicate the minimum, maximum and average size of
documents?
The minimum is about 2MB and the maximum could 20MB. The average
mostly about 5MB.
5. Are you using document data? If so please describe how?
We are using document data only to save changes made
to the application data in a web application. The final save goes
to the relational database. Berkeley XML DB is just used to store
temporary data since going to the relational database for each change
will cause severe performance issues.
17. Please describe the shape of one of your typical documents? Please
do this by sending us a skeleton XML document.
Due to the sensitive nature of the data, I can provide XML schema instead.
18. What is the rate of document insertion/update required or
expected? Are you doing partial node updates (via XmlModify) or
replacing the document?
The document is inserted during user login. Any change made to the application
data grid or other data components gets saved in Berkeley DB. We also have
an automatic save every two minutes. The final save from the application
gets saved in a relational database.
19. What is the query rate required/expected?
Users will not be entering data rapidly. There will be lot of think time
before the users enter/modify data in the web application. This is a pilot
project but when we go live with this application, we will expect 25 users
at the same time.
20. XQuery -- supply some sample queries
1. Please provide the Query Plan
2. Are you using DBXML_INDEX_NODES?
Yes.
3. Display the indices you have defined for the specific query.
     XmlIndexSpecification spec = container.getIndexSpecification();
     // ids
     spec.addIndex("", "id", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     spec.addIndex("", "idref", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     // index to cover AttributeValue/Description
     spec.addIndex("", "Description", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ELEMENT | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_SUBSTRING, XmlValue.STRING);
     // cover AttributeValue/@value
     spec.addIndex("", "value", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     // item attribute values
     spec.addIndex("", "type", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     // default index
     spec.addDefaultIndex(XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ELEMENT | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     spec.addDefaultIndex(XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     // save the spec to the container
     XmlUpdateContext uc = xmlManager.createUpdateContext();
     container.setIndexSpecification(spec, uc);
4. If this is a large query, please consider sending a smaller
query (and query plan) that demonstrates the problem.
21. Are you running with Transactions? If so please provide any
transactions flags you specify with any API calls.
Yes. READ_UNCOMMITED in some and READ_COMMITTED in other transactions.
22. If your application is transactional, are your log files stored on
the same disk as your containers/databases?
Yes.
23. Do you use AUTO_COMMIT?
     No.
24. Please list any non-transactional operations performed?
No.
25. How many threads of control are running? How many threads in read
only mode? How many threads are updating?
We use Berkeley XML DB within the context of a struts web application.
Each user logged into the web application will be running a bdb transactoin
within the context of a struts action thread.
26. Please include a paragraph describing the performance measurements
you have made. Please specifically list any Berkeley DB operations
where the performance is currently insufficient.
We are clocking 10-12 seconds of loading a document from dbd when
five users are on the system.
getContainer().getDocument(documentName);
27. What performance level do you hope to achieve?
We would like to get less than 5 seconds when 25 users are on the system.
28. Please send us the output of the following db_stat utility commands
after your application has been running under "normal" load for some
period of time:
% db_stat -h database environment -c
% db_stat -h database environment -l
% db_stat -h database environment -m
% db_stat -h database environment -r
% db_stat -h database environment -t
(These commands require the db_stat utility access a shared database
environment. If your application has a private environment, please
remove the DB_PRIVATE flag used when the environment is created, so
you can obtain these measurements. If removing the DB_PRIVATE flag
is not possible, let us know and we can discuss alternatives with
you.)
If your application has periods of "good" and "bad" performance,
please run the above list of commands several times, during both
good and bad periods, and additionally specify the -Z flags (so
the output of each command isn't cumulative).
When possible, please run basic system performance reporting tools
during the time you are measuring the application's performance.
For example, on UNIX systems, the vmstat and iostat utilities are
good choices.
Will give this information soon.
29. Are there any other significant applications running on this
system? Are you using Berkeley DB outside of Berkeley DB XML?
Please describe the application?
No to the first two questions.
The web application is an online review of test questions. The users
login and then review the items one by one. The relational database
holds the data in xml. During application load, the application
retrieves the xml and then saves it to bdb. While the user
is making changes to the data in the application, it writes those
changes to bdb. Finally when the user hits the SAVE button, the data
gets saved to the relational database. We also have an automatic save
every two minues, which saves bdb xml data and saves it to relational
database.
Thanks,

Could it be that you simply do not have set up indexes to support your query? If so, you could do some basic testing using the dbxml shell:
milu@colinux:~/xpg > dbxml -h ~/dbenv
Joined existing environment
dbxml> setverbose 7 2
dbxml> open tv.dbxml
dbxml> listIndexes
dbxml> query     { collection()[//@date-tip]/*[@chID = ('ard','zdf')] (: example :) }
dbxml> queryplan { collection()[//@date-tip]/*[@chID = ('ard','zdf')] (: example :) }Verbosity will make the engine display some (rather cryptic) information on index usage. I can't remember where the output is explained; my feeling is that "V(...)" means the index is being used (which is good), but that observation may not be accurate. Note that some details in the setVerbose command could differ, as I'm using 2.4.16 while you're using 2.4.13.
Also, take a look at the query plan. You can post it here and some people will be able to diagnose it.

Need help with a Asus 27" monitor with webcam problem.

Need help with a Asus 27" monitor I bought. Model VK278Q. The issue is that the webcam will not work properly. Various applications can see the webcam, but I just get a black box. From what I have read, the issue seems to be that there are no official drivers for the webcam.
I thought someone in this community might be able to offer some help before I return the monitor. I read somewhere that it may be possible to tweat the OS so that the iSight software will work for the monitor webcam.
Thx

Eureka! You now understand the situation.
Even the old standard for Mac OS X drivers for non-compatible cams, macam, says that it has no driver for ASUS (20") monitor camera.
The macam status shows:
not working (no documentation)
With no working driver for the 20" ASUS, it is not surprising that there is none for the 27" either. There may be good reason that ASUS won't (or can't) offer either the technical documentation or a Mac driver for their monitor's inbuilt webcam. However, they apparently do not publish that information.
If ASUS Technical Support cannot provide the driver you need for OS X, the ASUS will continue to be a ridonculous (sic) monitor whose webcam will not work with your OS X Mac. The only other simple fix I can think of is to use the ASUS with a different PC that is compatible with this monitor and its inbuilt webcam. What you do is certainly your choice.
