Number of records being pulled from OLAP/ SQL in BPC 5.1

Hello BPC gurus,
                     We are experience performance issues with EVDRE.basically the report errors out and the error log states " Decompressing request failed". We are in BPC 5.1
       We were trying to understand how many number of records the evdre is pulling from from OLAP / database so that we can look into some fine tuning opportunities of the EVDRE.
      In the BI world we have RSRT where in which we can view the number of records from database, number of records transferred. Is there any such feature in BPC, where in which we can information on record counts.
We have turned on the error logs , but none of them give us an idea of the record count.
Appreciate your help in advance.
Thanks

Hi Sorin,
Thank you very much for getting to me on my clarificaiton on the record count. As per your suggestion, we have already looked into this OSS note, and changed the entries in the table. After making these changes, the queries that normally execute in 1 min, now take 30 minutes to complete. Believe this was the observation also in some of the threads related to this issue.
You had mentioned that there might be an issue with the communication between application server and BPC Client. or SQE generating MDX query. Can you please give us some pointers on how to investigate this. Have turned on error logs evdataserver_debug.txt & EVDATASERVER_TRACE.txt on the file server, but i believe there is an OSS note 1311019, that talks about these logs not workign with SP9.
If you can guide us in the folllowing that would be helpful
1 how to bebug this issue that we are currently facing.
2. How does the concept of compressing / decompressing work in BPC.
Thanks
sai

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?
I currently run OS X 10.10.1
Now i have been trying to work on this for a while now and what i want to do should be simple but its apparently not.
Here is an example of what i want to happen.
I will have 2 tabs: Contact | Sales
Now Contacts will have the list of names and various information about a customer, While Sales will have one drop-down box for each Cell Row that will show the names of the person in tab contacts
for what i am wanting to do i cant use the data format pop-up menu because the list is edited everyday several times a day.
Now how do i do this, Excel can do this so how can numbers do it?

Hi Shegra,
Paste this into a applescript editor window and run it from there. In the script you may need to adjust the four properties to agree with your spreadsheet. Let me know if you have any questions.

Number of records in cube from Query Designer

I don't have access to the cube in BW(listschema). I only have access to pull reports from cube from Query Designer. How can I tell the total number of records in a cube?
Thanks.

Hi
you can use the tech content in the query designer to display the count for no of records or you can do the same via creating a new CKF
or see the below link to display the count

Records not pulling from Pervasive database

We just recently upgraded to Crystal Reports 2008 from Crystal Reports 7. We have some reports that pull from a pervasive database. After some looking I found that in the reports that we have already made that I needed to set up a Btrieve database (It is pulling from a pervasive database) connection and update it and all the reports loaded fine. I was able to update all the reports that use this database and they all seemed to be working great. Now, a couple days later when we run the report it acts like it is pulling the information but never displays it. Once we hit the refresh button, it pops up with the parameters box, we enter the values and then at the bottom it acts like it is running thru all the records. Except saying 1 of 1 and 2 of 2...ending at 10 of 10 like it always has done before, it goes 0 of 1, 0 of 2...ending at 0 of 10.
I also go to the old version of Crystal Reports and it comes up with the same problem.
I tried redoing the connection, but that didn't help either.
Please Help!

I have finally had a chance to go to the computer with crystal reports to try your sql test. When I go to database menu the "Show SQL Query" is grayed out. So I am unable to select it. I tried this in design and preview view, with no luck.
I was able to play around some more to try to pinpoint the problem and here is a couple things that stood out to me. Maybe that will be helpful to you to help me determine my problem.
After running the report I went to Dependency checker and it came back with "Data Source: There was an unknown problem detected when checking table Vendor, on server M:\FB\AP\FILE.DDF. Please verify your report." and "Data Source: There was an unknown problem detected when checking table Invoices, on server M:\FB\AP\FILE.DDF. Please verify your report." I have verified my database under the database menu and that has always come back with database updated. I never did see a verify report button to do what the error message says.
The other thing is I found what parameter is causing me problems. There are 4 parameters..status, month, day, year. In status we always put S, but the values in that field could be S, C, or X. If I change the status to the C or X, it will pull and display data. So, I initially thought they maybe there was not "S" that is statisfying the rest of the parameters. However, after looking thru the reports in the program this database was made for and using, there is in fact "S"s that would satisfy the rest of the parameters and should be showing this data.
So my next question why would the report run correctly for some values but not others?

Optimal number of records to fetch from Forte Cursor

Hello everybody:
I 'd like to ask a very important question.
I opened Forte cursor with approx 1.2 million records, and now I am trying
to figure out the number of records per fetch to obtain
the acceptable performance.
To my surprise, fetching 100 records at once gave me approx 15 percent
performance gain only in comparsion
with fetching records each by each.
I haven't found significant difference in performance fetching 100, 500 or
10.000 records at once.In the same time, fetching 20.000
records at once make a performance approx 20% worse( this fact I cannot
explain).
Does anybody have any experience in how to improve performance fetching from
Forte cursor with big number of rows ?
Thank you in advance

You can do it by writing code in start routine of your transformations.
1.If you have any specific criteria for filtering go with that and delete unwanted records.
2. If you want to load specific number of records based on count, then in start routine of the transformations loop through source package records by keeping a counter till you reach your desired count and copy those records into an internal table.
Delete records in the source package then assign the records stored in internal table to source package.

Data being retrieve from PL/SQL is "???"

Hi,
I follow the sample code shown in getting the data of PL/SQL using Java.
Please see below:
OracleCallableStatement stmt =(OracleCallableStatement)conn.prepareCall
( "begin ? := getEMpArray; end;" );
// The name we use below, EMPARRAY, has to match the name of the
// type defined in the PL/SQL Stored Function
stmt.registerOutParameter( 1, OracleTypes.ARRAY,"EMPARRAY" );
stmt.executeUpdate();
// Get the ARRAY object and print the meta data assosiated with it
ARRAY simpleArray = stmt.getARRAY(1);
System.out.println("Array is of type " + simpleArray.getSQLTypeName());
System.out.println("Array element is of type code "+simpleArray.getBaseType());
System.out.println("Array is of length " + simpleArray.length());
// Print the contents of the array
String[] values = (String[])simpleArray.getArray();
for( int i = 0; i < values.length; i++ )
System.out.println( "row " + i + " = '" + values<em> +"'" );
But when i view the data from java the data that is being fetch is "???". All the array data is like this "???". :(
But when i debug the PL/SQL the data is OK.
I dont know if this is a binary numbers or what.
I dont know how to solve this. And get the real data.
Please help.
By the way, i'm using eclipse as the IDE.
Thanks.</em>

Ok,here is the code.
if(nvl(values1,0) >= nvl(:cf_qty,0)) then
     return (nvl(value1,0)-nvl(value2,0));
else
     pck.p_count_first := pck.p_count_first + 1 ;
     pck.p_FGI(pck.p_count_first):= nvl(value2,0) - nvl(value1,0);
end if;
Here for First counter value stored as 1,
Second value stored as 1.
When I am retriving the values. like
if (pck.p_FGI.count > 0) then
PCK.p_count_second := pck.p_count_second + 1 ;
v_total := pck.p_FGI(pck.p_count_second) VALUE3;
end if;
Here Value pck.p_FGI(pck.p_count_second) comes as 0 instead of 1.
Can you tell us why is this show value 0.

MQH7,
The EULA's are associated with Service Pack classifications therefore I assume someone has added in that classification to your sync since last month.
Things to check
- your WSUSContent folder has the following rights on share and NTFS - full control for network service and WSUS administrators.
- In IIS Manager on SUP go to WSUS Administration site click to Content. Right click and choose Manage Virtual Directory>Advanced Settings. Ensure the physical path is set to your WSUSContent location.

Why are closed caption movies being pulled from iTunes?

As of today there is only one movie left in all of iTunes that is Closed Captioned. This is a real problem for those in the deaf community that have purchased iPods & iPhones, or even just those who use iTunes on Macs & PCs.
While Apple may not be fully liable, I am sure it is against the spirit of the ADA, and definitely not consumer friendly.
There is a small argument for blaming the movie studios for not providing CC content. Apple should be proactive in requesting movies be CC.
What is the reason for pulling existing movies that were CC and replacing them with non-CC versions?

If the CC movies are coming back, how does that work with those of use who purchased non-CC movies? I see 145 movies, not too many of which I want to see.
I love the Harry Potter movies, but I have a harder and harder time understanding them. My deafness is such that not only do I find it difficult to understand what's being spoken if there's a lot of ambient noise, but I also have a lot of difficulty with foreign accents (my being USian). My hearing is bad enough to qualify me for a TTY phone! The sound quality (even if the settings are the same in iTunes) is uneven across the movies, and all I want to do is watch the movie and understand what's being said!
If I can't get the closed captioning with the movies and TV shows on iTunes, I'll just have to purchase or rent from Blockbuster and the like.
It boggles my mind that iTunes has overlooked this issue. I guess you get what you pay for.

BAPI returns less number of records when called from WebDynpro

Hi,
We have a BAPI which updates some tables and then bring back output in the form of a table.
When we execute BAPI from R/3 we get all records. When we execute the BAPI using webdynpro, for the same input values, we are always getting 22 records. This count remains same always.
When we had put a breakpoint in the BAPI and tested it using webdynpro, we get few more records. Wondering what is the prob?
Any help?
regards,
Shabeer

Hi,
Are you using the same user when running the BAPI form R/3 and from the portal?
We had a similar problem when the user from the portal didn't have the necessary authorizations.

Creating a format file to map Incident records being imported from another tool in Service Manager.

Hello, we are trying to import some of our Incident records from BMC Remedy into Service Manager. Our data architect is running into some difficulty finding the necessary information to create the format file (we plan to use the CSV import process).
Is there a comprehensive document that details out all of the properties available for Incidents, affected users, relationships, etc. in order to build the XML format file? For example, System.WorkItem.Incident is the main type for Incidents. Under
that, there is an 'Affected User' class.
Is anyone aware of this type of documentation for Service Manager?
Thanks in advance,
Brett

Hi,
Affected user' is a relationship. System.User is a class. Your data architect has to investigate SCSM management packs to get the required info. Use this PowerShell command with standard SCSM poweshell console to get all management packs in pure XML. "c:\mp"
is a path that you could change.
Get-SCSMManagementPack | Export-SCSMManagementPack -Path c:\mp

Vendor invoice - Profit Center not being pulled from cost-center

Hi Guys,
Please help me out with this:
On the vendor expense line item, i am using an account which has a Field status group which is cost center - optional, business area - required and profit center - required. The cost center master has the profit center and business area both populated.
But when i try just populating the cost center on the expense line item, the profit center is not being populated automatically which it should. Can you please guide me what the problem can be? Is it in the field status group or maybe in the linking of the cost center and profit center.
Thanks for your help.
-MS

Hi,
Are you talking about vendor line item or expenses line item?
if you are talking about expense line item,check profit center is activated or not and validity period.
check profit center assignment in KS03 t.code.
if your talking about vendor line item,what version of SAP are you using?
if your using clasical GL and PCA,process T.code 1KEK - Transferring Payables/Receivables .
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Rau

RE: (forte-users) Optimal number of records to fetch fromForte C ursor

The reason why a single fetch of 20.000 records performs less then
2 fetches of 10.000 might be related to memory behaviour. Do you
keep the first 10.000 records in memory when you fetch the next
10.000? If not, then a single fetch of 20.000 records requires more
memory then 2 fetches of 10.000. You might have some extra over-
head of Forte requesting additional memory from the OS, garbage
collections just before every request for memory and maybe even
the OS swapping some memory pages to disk.
This behaviour can be controlled by modifying the Minimum memory
and Maximum memory of the partition, as well as the memory chunk
size Forte uses to increment its memory.
Upon partition startup, Forte requests the Minimum memory from the
OS. Whithin this area, the actual memory being used grows, until
it hits the ceiling of this space. This is when the garbage collector
kicks in and removes all unreferenced objects. If this does not suffice
to store the additional data, Forte requests 1 additional chunk of a
predefined size. Now, the same behaviour is repeated in this, slightly
larger piece of memory. Actual memory keeps growing until it hits
the ceiling, upon which the garbage collector removes all unrefer-
enced objects. If the garbage collector reduces the amount of
memory being used to below the original Miminum memory, Forte
will NOT return the additional chunk of memory to the OS. If the
garbage collector fails to free enough memory to store the new data,
Forte will request an additional chunk of memory. This process is
repeated untill the Maximum memory is reached. If the garbage
collector fails to free enough memory at this point, the process
terminates gracelessly (which is what happens sooner or later when
you have a memory leak; something most Forte developpers have
seen once or twice).

Subject: (forte-users) Optimal number of records to fetch from Forte
Cursor
Hello everybody:
I 'd like to ask a very important question.
I opened Forte cursor with approx 1.2 million records, and now I am trying
to figure out the number of records per fetch to obtain
the acceptable performance.
To my surprise, fetching 100 records at once gave me approx 15 percent
performance gain only in comparsion
with fetching records each by each.
I haven't found significant difference in performance fetching 100, 500
or
10.000 records at once.In the same time, fetching 20.000
records at once make a performance approx 20% worse( this fact I cannot
explain).
Does anybody have any experience in how to improve performance fetching
from
Forte cursor with big number of rows ?
Thank you in advance

Hi Kieran,
According to your description, you are going to figure out what is the optimal number of records per partition, right? As per my understanding, this number was change by your hardware. The better hardware you have, the more number of records per partition.
The earlier version of the performance guide for SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services Performance Guide stated this:
"In general, the number of records per partition should not exceed 20 million. In addition, the size of a partition should not exceed 250 MB."
Besides, the number of records is not the primary concern here. Rather, the main criterion is manageability and processing performance. Partitions can be processed in parallel, so the more there are the more can be processed at once. However, the more partitions
you have the more things you have to manage. Here is some links which describe the partition optimization

RE: (forte-users) Optimal number of records to fetch fromForte Cursor

Guys,
The behavior (1 fetch of 20000 vs 2 fetches of 10000 each) may also be DBMS
related. There is potentially high overhead in opening a cursor and initially
fetching the result table. I know this covers a great deal DBMS technology
territory here but one explanation is that the same physical pages may have to
be read twice when performing the query in 2 fetches as compared to doing it in
one shot. Physical IO is perhaps the most expensive (vis a vis- resources)
part of a query. Just a thought.

The reason why a single fetch of 20.000 records performs less then
2 fetches of 10.000 might be related to memory behaviour. Do you
keep the first 10.000 records in memory when you fetch the next
10.000? If not, then a single fetch of 20.000 records requires more
memory then 2 fetches of 10.000. You might have some extra over-
head of Forte requesting additional memory from the OS, garbage
collections just before every request for memory and maybe even
the OS swapping some memory pages to disk.
This behaviour can be controlled by modifying the Minimum memory
and Maximum memory of the partition, as well as the memory chunk
size Forte uses to increment its memory.
Upon partition startup, Forte requests the Minimum memory from the
OS. Whithin this area, the actual memory being used grows, until
it hits the ceiling of this space. This is when the garbage collector
kicks in and removes all unreferenced objects. If this does not suffice
to store the additional data, Forte requests 1 additional chunk of a
predefined size. Now, the same behaviour is repeated in this, slightly
larger piece of memory. Actual memory keeps growing until it hits
the ceiling, upon which the garbage collector removes all unrefer-
enced objects. If the garbage collector reduces the amount of
memory being used to below the original Miminum memory, Forte
will NOT return the additional chunk of memory to the OS. If the
garbage collector fails to free enough memory to store the new data,
Forte will request an additional chunk of memory. This process is
repeated untill the Maximum memory is reached. If the garbage
collector fails to free enough memory at this point, the process
terminates gracelessly (which is what happens sooner or later when
you have a memory leak; something most Forte developpers have
seen once or twice).

Ajax Report Pull from another Page Pagination override

We are on a time crunch and need to get this application working in a timely manner, any help would greatly be appreciated..
*[History leading up to problem]*
We followed the code from this example http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:48:4441142106394445 which pulls a report from another page using AJAX so we could update a report (in this case a tabular form). Since Tabular Forms cannot update past 30-40 records we had to turn on pagination to prevent errors when trying to submit it.
Since Pagination on the bottom of the report/tabular form links to the other page the report is on, I decided to attempt to override next> href link to instead call a javascript with the url from next> (Report/Tabular Form Pagination) with Jquery the following code {the override is working} {comments added here for clarification}...
var oldhref =$("a.t20pagination").attr("href"); //get Apex Pagination a href link location
$("a.t20pagination").attr('href', "javascript:return false"); // change the Apex Pagination a href llink location to do nothing
$("a.t20pagination").click(function () { // Create an onclick for Apex Pagination a href that calls a javascript function
get_report_page(oldhref); // This function is needed because I am grabbing the report from another page, I hope to
}); // get this javascript working [the reason why I am asking this question here]
$("a.t20pagination").removeClass("t20pagination"); // Removed the pagination class just in case it was causing issues.
The function I am working on below... {I figured I have to do the htmldb_get function {I am still new to Apex so I am not totally clear on it, but learning}, to get the report again from the other page, but I need to add pagination.. So I figured I could split the link location based on the : and go through the array for the parts I need to pass in the htmldb_get}, with alerts to help diagnose the problem...
function get_report_page(curUrl) {
alert ('Hello how are you today?');
var temp = new Array();
temp = curUrl.split(':');
alert ('I like the number '+temp.length);
for ( var i=0, len=temp.length; i<len; ++i ){
alert (i+":"+temp); // Square brackets actually used, changed to squiggly here to show
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,null,205,null, null, temp{4}); // Square brackets actually used, changed to squiggly here to show
gReturn = get.get(null,'<htmldb:BOX_BODY>','</htmldb:BOX_BODY>');
get = null;
$x('ReportDrop').innerHTML = gReturn;
*[Actual Problem]*
Since the report is on another page (in this case 205) and is being pulled onto Page 200 where the user is, when the user clicks on the Next> for the report/tabluar form pagination, the user is automatically thrown to page 205 {I want to keep the user on page 200 and pass the pagination, then pull the report/tabular form again}
I looked at the link http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11620:63:834860992188521::NO::: but I am not sure where to stick the report pagination{I thought it would be queryString {above you see I am setting temp[4] in the queryString parameter}..
I know the function is working since I get the alert messages, after that where the report would be it gives the following error...
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
mod_plsql: /pls/apex/wwv_flow.show HTTP-400 Signature Mismatch or Missing '='
Oracle-Application-Server-10g/10.1.2.0.2 Oracle-HTTP-Server Server at nysastst.senate.state.ny.us Port 7778
Can I simply splice the url like I am doing above and pass it to htmldb_get (or is there anyway to pass the report pagination using htmldb_get)?
If so, what am I doing wrong?
Also, does this seem like a decent solution or is there a better solution for this issue?
- Thanks in advance,
- Brian

Thanks cb... it worked like a charm..
but at first, I Could not get it to work because in my report that was being pulled from another page did not have Enable Partial Refresh set to Yes under Report Attributes > Layout and Pagination.. When it was off the a href link of the pagination was showing a standard link. Once Enable Partial Refresh was set to Yes, the pagination then showed a link to javascript:$a_report(...); which meant you can now override it with the javascript function.
Here is the thread I found it in
Call Process Through AJAX

Table memory has Hughe through number of records very low number

Dear team,
When I'm checking one table it has below number of records.
select count(*) from table1
4980092
but the space allocated for this table
select sum(bytes) from user_segments where segment_name = 'table1';
SUM(BYTES)
2361712640
I'm surprised with this size.
When find the cause,I found the if we are delerting the records memory won't get freed, then i how can i freeup the memory for this table.
Delete happenning for thie table frequently on daily basis.

why?

then i how can i freeup the memory for this table.
there is no need to do so, since space will be reused by new rows.
Delete happenning for thie table frequently on daily basis.if DELETE occurs daily, why is number of rows close to zero?
how many rows get INSERT daily?
what is average ROW LENGTH?
