OBIEE & Essbase - Reduce Data Cache in OBI Server

Hi,
We have a essbase ASO cube and using it as a source we have created a dashboard.
But when we change the data in the cube (for example, what-if or online data analysis) the dashboard dose not change since the BI server cache the data.
How do we reduce this cache period for a particular cube or a dashboard.
Thanks
Nilaksha.

Have you tried reducing the time in the Cache Persistence time?
Hope it helps
Thanks

Essbase BSO data cache setting

can you guys post your BSO cube compressed data size(.pag files) and data cache setting? I am trying to get a better understanding about these two areas interms of optimization. I am also curious to know the maximum data cache setting ever used on BSO cube....(1 GB is what I know as of now)
I think the settings depends on million things (available RAM on server, performance check, etc etc) but just a quick check.
Thanks,
KK

Indes and data caches work differently and it is probably good to talk about that. When an Essbase database starts, it will grab all of the memory you have defined for the index cache and nothing else can get at it. Data cachs is grabbed as it is needed until it reaches the maximum. It was truly problematic in the old days when we had much less memory to work with. If you started too many applications, you took all available memory right away. Man I feel old talking about it :)

Difference between Presentation Server Cache and BI Server Cache

Hello Experts,
What is the Diff b/w Presentation Server Cache and BI Server Cache
Thanks,
S Gouda

Hello,
Okay, what do you want to do about caching at BI server and Presentation server.
A nQSXXXX.tmp is a temporary cache file which maintained by the BI Server for an analysis request by a user and is kind of shared data between the OBI Server and the OBI Presentation server. This is refereed as the 'Cursor Cache' which could be managed by going thru Administration> Manage Sessions > Clear Cursor Cache.These .tmp files are it is not related to BI Server cache.
By Default, the BI Server Cache is stored in the and stored as NQSxxxxx.tbl files. [middlware_home]/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIServerComponent/coreapplication_obis1/cache]
Caching occurs by default at the subrequest level, which results in multiple cache entries for some SQL statements. Caching subrequests improves performance and the cache hit ratio, especially for queries that combine real-time and historical data.
Below are some useful links for cache management in OBIEE 11g.

Essbase 64 bit on Windows 2003 Server: Windows Virtual cache/ Paging File ?

Hi,
the speed of our nightly calculations seems to differ from day to day between 1 and 2 hours
I am wondering, what the correct setting for the windows paging file is ?
We use Windows 2003 64 Bit Server with 16 GB RAM
We run 1 Essbase application with 80 GB pag files with 4 GB Data Cache Setting and 1 GB Indexcache Setting in EAS console - on that server is actually nothing else running in production mode (just a few essbase-test application, usually offline)
what is the recommended setting on the windows level in the windows system properties for memory usage ?
We have:
Memory Usage: Adjust for best performance of "Programs" ;
Virtual Memory/Paging file on C-Drive: Custom Size, initial Size: 10 GB, maximum size 16 GB
when system was handed over from Oracle, we had 4 GB virtual memory - however in essbase manual, you read that the recommended value should be 3-5 times the physicial ram -
for me, the cache-bevahiour is strange anyway: if I watch taskmanager, I see in the middle of our 1 hour calculation the memory usage of Esssvr.exe Service using 7 GB of RAM, then the 16 GB RAM are used up at some point (paging file is 9 GB )- then suddenly nearly all the RAM get's cleared and ESSSVR.exe memory consumption goes down to 0 and from 0 increasing again-
looks to me, as all the cache for essbase get's deleted in the miiddle of the calculation, because RAM used up for paging files ?
Can anybody explain or give a clear directions, what to check ?
our application operates normally (no abnormal termination, no generation of *.xcp files)
(Essbase is installed on the 500 GB D-Drive)

Hi John,
thanks for the helpful link - the long discussion reminded me again, that pure cores and cache is not all, what makes up a good essbase application -
I will test with calcparallel 6 (in comparison to 4) on our 64bit environment - just to see if I can achieve a 10, 20 or 30% improvement...
In addition, I must admit, that 50% of our 1-2 hour calculation is calculated in serial/ not parallel... so I expect an additional 5 to 10 min improvement, not more.
Thank you for now

SQL server as data source for OBI EE : Urgent

hi everyone,i have been using OBI EE for the past 2 months.I have been using Oracle 10g database as a data source for OBI EE and it worked just fine and now im trying to use SQL server 2005 as my data source.
My ODBC was succesful and i can import from that database but i get following errors when i try to update row count.
There was an error while updating row count for "test"."AdventureWorks"."HumanResources"."Departme nt":
[nQSError: 16001]ODBC error state: S0002 code: 208 message :[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'Department'..
[nQSError: 16015]SQL statement execution failed.

With Sql Server I have always problems with security
Check this first and then continue..
1.your odbc connection
2.in the administrator--> connection pool you have assign the appropriate values for sql -server(check all the options)
and check the option -->fully qualified table name
i hope i helped....

OBIEE reverse engineering to go from SQL Server to a data warehouse

Hi,
I'm new to data modeling for warehouses. We currently have an OBIEE environment set up where the data source was SQL Server transactional tables. The SQL Server data is to be moved to a non-Oracle data warehouse and I need to produce a logical data model for the warehouse folks at my company. Unfortunately, the SQL Server data was never modeled, so, I'm basing the model from the Logical and Physical diagram/relationships of OBIEE.
My question is in regards to the validity of the following relationship to be used in a data warehouse based on what's currently in OBIEE. When I model this via Erwin, I'm wondering if I'm way off base in the relationships (modeling, not personal):
Dimension 1 has a 0:M with Dimension 2
Dimension 1 has a 0:M with Dimesion 3
Dimension 2 has a 0:M with Dimension 3
Both Dimension 2 and Dimension 3 have a 0:M with Fact 1
Through the use of aliases and such, this does work in OBIEE. Will this work as a data model for a data warehouse environment?
Thanks!

I think you started with the wrong foot. I suggest you search in Google for "kimball methodology" and have a read at a few articles. Your DWH model should not be based on your transactional tables. You should ask your business users what "questions" they want to answer in the DWH. Then model your DWH base on that. You can not model a DWH without knowing what questions you need to answer. For instance if your business users want to know the sales per day and per branch you will a sales fact with a sales amount measure joining to two dimensions branch and time dimension. The number of facts will depend on the questions you need to answer, the type of data and the granularity of them.

Essbase Data Cache Full Error

Hi, All,
I am encountering an Essbase data cache full error while running some calc scripts. I have already try to set the data cache size to 800MB to 1.6GB, and index cache to around 100MB. It is quite a large BSO Essbase, with one dimension over 1000 members, another about 2500 members, and the last one about 3000 members.
I have three similar scripts and each is for different entities to aggregate on some of those dimensions.
For example, I started with unload the app/db, and run the calc script 1 for Entity1, it is successfully; However, I continue to run on calc script 2 for Entity 2, it showed the "data cache full error". However, after I unload the app/db, and then run calc script 2 again, I can have the calc scripts completed with no errors.
I am running on Essbase 11.1.1.3 on AIX platform 32-bit Essbase.
Anyone had encountered that before. Is it a problem with Essbase RAM handling, in this case?
Thanks in advance

Thank you John,
We have found that it is the entity dimension that should be responsible to this problem.
I remember we have encountered this kind of problem before when we aggregate an application with the entity dimension hierarchy mixed with shared and stored instances of the same level 0 members. To put it simple, there are three members under "Entity" dimension member, which represents different view of entity hierarchies of same level 0 members. the first one has stored level 0 entity members while the other two have shared ones. And at that time, our client added another hierarchy with shared level 0 members, but they did not put this tree under "Entity" dimension member directly, but rather put it under the first child of "Entity", which is the one with stored level 0 members.
It is a little bit confusing to describe the situation only by text. Anyway, at that time, the first hierarchy had both stored and shared instances of the same group of level 0 members. And the data cache is always full when aggregating. and after we moved the forth hierarchy to another tree so under that hierarchy the level 0 members are all shared instances, the aggregation worked flawlessly.
I wondered why this happened and consider this is related to detailed calculation logic of Essbase. May you shed some light on this topic? Thank you with all my heart!
Warm Regards,
John

Essbase data cache setting not registering

Hi,
We have 64-bit essbase. I changed the data and Index cache setting (storage type Buffered IO) in essbase.
After restarting the database, I see the value getting updated in the "Index cache current value" but the value in the "Data cache current value" is zero.
These are planning essbase databases. The behavior is same for the native essbase dbs.
I have also tried restarting the essbase service. The essbase version 11.1.1.3
Please help.

Avi

Indes and data caches work differently and it is probably good to talk about that. When an Essbase database starts, it will grab all of the memory you have defined for the index cache and nothing else can get at it.

Realize essbase data cache through business rule

Hi!
Can any body guide me how to realize essbase data cache through business rule.
Thanks

Right,
Actually, Business rules are running essbase cubes in every case.
Remember planning and BRs are adding extra layers like prompts, forms, security, processes...
Think Business rules are extended version of calc scripts with some more functionality. They are ultimately running on essbase cubes...

Hi,
There are numerous ways to change the cache size.
You could deploy a vbscript to a collection of the devices.
On Error Resume Next
Dim UIResManager
Dim Cache
Dim CacheSize
CacheSize=20000
Set UIResManager = createobject("UIResource.UIResourceMgr")
Set Cache=UIResManager.GetCacheInfo()
Cache.TotalSize=CacheSize
Or you could use a configuration item.
http://blog.coretech.dk/heh/configuration-items-and-baselines-using-scripts-powershell-example/
You can also use the right click tools by Now Micro on a collection, if all the servers are on this would be the easiest / quickest way.

Hi,
1. For error no 1130203, here are the possible problems and solutions, straight from document.
Try any of the following suggestions to fix the problem. Once you fix the problem, check to see if the database is corrupt.
1. Check the physical memory on the server computer. In a Windows environment, 64 MB is the suggested minimum for one database. In a UNIX environment, 128 MB is the suggested minimum for one database. If the error keeps occuring, add more memory to the server computer.
2. If you are on a UNIX computer, check the user limit profile.
3. Check the block size of the database. If necessary, reduce the block size.
4. Check the data cache and data file cache setting. If necessary, decrease the data cache and data file cache sizes.
5. Make sure that the Analytic Services computer has enough resources. Consult the Analytic Services Installation Guide for a list of system requirements. If a resource-intensive application, such as a relational database, is running on the same computer, the resource-intensive application may be using the resources that Analytic Services needs

Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than [100] ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry(a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).

Hi,
Our Environment is Essbase 11.1.2.2 and working on Essbase EAS and Shared Services components.One of our user tried to run the Cal Script of one Application and faced this error.
Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than [100] ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry(a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).
I have done some Google and found that we need to add something in Essbase.cfg file like below.
1012704 Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than number ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry (a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).
Possible Problems
Analytic Services could not lock enough blocks to perform the calculation.
Possible Solutions
Increase the number of blocks that Analytic Services can allocate for a calculation:
Set the maximum number of blocks that Analytic Services can allocate to at least 500.
If you do not have an $ARBORPATH/bin/essbase.cfg file on the server computer, create one using a text editor.
In the essbase.cfg file on the server computer, set CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH to 500.
Stop and restart Analytic Server.
Add the SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH command to the beginning of the calculation script.
Set the data cache large enough to hold all the blocks specified in the CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH setting.
Determine the block size.
Set the data catche size.
Actually in our Server Config file(essbase.cfg) we dont have below data added.
CalcLockBlockHigh 2000
CalcLockBlockDefault 200
CalcLockBlocklow 50
So my doubt is if we edit the Essbase.cfg file and add the above settings and restart the services will it work? and if so why should we change the Server config file if the problem is with one application Cal Script. Please guide me how to proceed.
Regards,
Naveen

Your calculation needs to hold more blocks in memory than your current set up allows.
From the docs (quoting so I don't have to write it, not to be a smarta***:
CALCLOCKBLOCK specifies the number of blocks that can be fixed at each level of the SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH | DEFAULT | LOW calculation script command.
When a block is calculated, Essbase fixes (gets addressability to) the block along with the blocks containing its children. Essbase calculates the block and then releases it along with the blocks containing its children. By default, Essbase allows up to 100 blocks to be fixed concurrently when calculating a block. This is sufficient for most database calculations. However, you may want to set a number higher than 100 if you are consolidating very large numbers of children in a formula calculation. This ensures that Essbase can fix all the required blocks when calculating a data block and that performance will not be impaired.
Example
If the essbase.cfg file contains the following settings:
CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH 500 CALCLOCKBLOCKDEFAULT 200 CALCLOCKBLOCKLOW 50
then you can use the following SET LOCKBLOCK setting commands in a calculation script:
SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH;
means that Essbase can fix up to 500 data blocks when calculating one block.
Support doc is saying to change your config file so those settings can be made available for any calc script to use.
On a side note, if this was working previously and now isn't then it is worth investigating if this is simply due to standard growth or a recent change that has made an unexpected significant impact.

Dynamic Calc Issue - CalcLockBlock or Data Cache Setting

We recently started seeing an issue with a Dynamic scenario member in our UAT and DEV environments. When we tried to reference the scenario member in Financial Reports, we get the following error:
Error executing query: The data form grid is invalid. Verify that all members selected are in Essbase. Check log for details.com.hyperion.planning.HspException
In SmartView, if I try to reference that scenario member, I get the following:
The dynamic calc processor cannot allocare more than [10] blocks from the heap. Either the CalcLockBlock setting is too low or the data cahce size setting is too low.
The Dynamic calcs worked fine in both environments up until recently, and no changes were made to Essbase, so I am not sure why them stopped working.
I tried to set the CalcLockBlock settings in the Essbase.cfg file, and increases the data cache size. When I increases the CalcLockBlock settings, I would get the same error.
When I increased the data cache size, it would just sit there and load and load in Financial Reporting and wouldn't show the report. In SmartView, it would give me an error that it had timed out and to try to increase the NetRetry and NetDelay values.

Thanks for the responses guys.
NN:
I tried to double the Index Cache Setting and the Data Cache setting, but it appears when I do that, it crashes my Essbase app. I also tried adding the DYNCALCCACHEMAXSIZE and QRYGOVEXECTIME to essbase.cfg (without the Cache settings since it is crashing), and still no luck.
John:
I had already had those values set on my client machine, I tried to set them on the server as well, but no luck.
The exact error message I get after increasing the Cache settings is"Essbase Error (1042017) Network error: The client or server timed out waiting to receive data using TCP/IP. Check network connections. Increase the olap.server.netConnectTry and/or olap.server.netDealy values in teh essbase. proprieties. Restart the server and try again"
From the app's essbase log:
