Performance and Products

Hi, All Experts,
I have just started working with Esbase and have no idea, what are the basic required products, what are the add-on products.
I am told our users have big performance problems. Each year they create new cubes in order to give different parameters such as year, some of cubes even refer to each months. Well, is this an usual way to ue cubes?
What kind of products and services are required to be installed in order to utillize performance problem?
Having read serveral documents and discussions from this forum, I understand some of setiings are related to performance issues. But how do I know, say if I have 10 dimentions, what kind of setting combinations will maximize performance?
Thanks and looking forward for your replay
Linda

Creating and maintaining Essbase cubes is an art not a science. There are many factors that affect the performance of a cube including Dense/sparse combinations, dimension order, formulas and calc scripts, use of dynamic calculations, cache settings, Asking a generic question about how to improve your cubes is difficult to answer.As you can see it depends on a number of factors and is dependant on what type of performance improvements you are trying to obtain. For example is it calculation time that takes to long, retrieval time, data load time? Each has different potential solutions and in some cases conflict with each other. Sometimes you have to compromise between two solutions to get the the best possible for both. I hate to say this, but you might consider having a Qualified (not necessarily certified) consultant review your subes with you to offer suggestions for improvement. Have specific goals in mind. Faster calc or consolidation of cubes, etc.

Process Order tables and Production System Performance

Hi All,
What are the different tables of Process order? Also how do i know which table affects the system performance of Production system and to what extent if Change Logging is made active ?
The issue is in our clients place we would like to set the Change Logging ( Records changes made for any transaction ) for Process orders and we would like to know to which tables change logging should be made active so that Production system performance is not affected.
Please help me regarding this.
Thanks in Advance,
Neetha Avani.

All the changes done in any transaction are saved in CDPOS table.
when there is any report developed based on this table then the performance will be very slow.
Tables used for process orders are
AFKO            Order header data PP orders
AFPO            Order item
AFRU            Order Confirmations
AFRUHR        Order Confirmations for HR
AFRV             Confirmation pool
AFVC             Operation within an order
Hope the above helps.

The Buzz from Microsoft Ignite 2015
NetApp was in full force at the recent Microsoft Ignite show in Chicago, talking about solutions for hybrid cloud, and our proven solutions for Microsoft SQL Server and other Microsoft applications.
Hot topics at the NetApp booth included:
OnCommand® Shift. A revolutionary technology that lets you move virtual machines back and forth between VMware and Hyper-V environments in minutes.
Azure Site Recovery to NetApp Private Storage. Replicate on-premises SAN-based applications to NPS for disaster recovery in the Azure cloud.
These tools give you greater flexibility for managing and protecting important business applications.

Director, EIS Technical Marketing, NetApp
If your organization runs databases such as Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle DB, you probably know that these vendors primarily license their products on a "per-core" basis. Microsoft recently switched to "per-core" rather than "per-socket" licensing for SQL Server 2012 and 2014. This change can have a big impact on the total cost of operating a database, especially as core counts on new servers continue to climb. It turns out that the right storage infrastructure can drive down database costs, increase productivity, and put your infrastructure back in balance.
In many customer environments, NetApp has noticed that server CPU utilization is low—often on the order of just 20%. This is usually the result of I/O bottlenecks. Server cores have to sit and wait for I/O from hard disk drives (HDDs). We've been closely studying the impact of all-flash storage on SQL Server environments that use HDD-based storage systems. NetApp® All Flash FAS platform delivers world-class performance for SQL Server plus the storage efficiency, application integration, nondisruptive operations, and data protection of clustered Data ONTAP®, making it ideal for SQL Server environments.
Tests show that All Flash FAS can drive up IOPS and database server CPU utilization by as much as 4x. And with a 95% reduction in latency, you can achieve this level of performance with half as many servers. This reduces the number of servers you need and the number of cores you have to license, driving down costs by 50% or more and paying back your investment in flash in as little as six months.

Whether you're running one of the newer versions of SQL Server or facing an upgrade of an earlier version, you can't afford not to take a second look at your storage environment.
End of Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is Rapidly Approaching
Microsoft has set the end of extended support for SQL Server 2005 for April 2016—less than a year away. With support for Microsoft Windows 2003 ending in July 2015, time may already be running short.
If you're running Windows Server 2003, new server hardware is almost certainly needed when you upgrade SQL Server. Evaluate your server and storage options now to get costs under control.
Test Methodology
To test the impact of flash on SQL Server performance, we replaced a legacy HDD-based storage system with an All Flash FAS AFF8080 EX. The legacy system was configured with almost 150 HDDs, a typical configuration for HDD storage supporting SQL Server. The AFF8080 EX used just 48 SSDs.
Table 1) Components used in testing.

The test configuration consisted of 10 database servers connected through fibre channel to both the legacy storage system and the AFF8080 EX. Each of the 10 servers ran SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition.
The publicly available HammerDB workload generator was used to drive an OLTP-like workload simultaneously from each of the 10 database servers to storage. We first directed the workload to the legacy storage array to establish a baseline, increasing the load to the point where read latency consistently exceeded 20ms.
That workload was then directed at the AFF8080 EX. The change in storage resulted in an overall 20x reduction in read latency, a greater than 4x improvement in IOPS, and a greater than 4x improvement in database server CPU utilization.
Figure 2) NetApp All Flash FAS increases IOPS and server CPU utilization and lowers latency.
Source: NetApp, 2015
In other words, the database servers are able to process four times as many IOPS with dramatically lower latency. CPU utilization goes up accordingly because the servers are processing 4x the work per unit time.
The All Flash FAS system still had additional headroom under this load.
Calculating the Savings
Let's look at what this performance improvement means for the total cost of running SQL Server 2014 over a 3-year period. To do the analysis we used NetApp Realize, a storage modeling and financial analysis tool designed to help quantify the value of NetApp solutions and products. NetApp sales teams and partners use this tool to assist with return on investment (ROI) calculations.
The calculation includes the cost of the AFF8080 EX, eliminates the costs associated with the existing storage system, and cuts the total number of database servers from 10 to five. This reduces SQL Server licensing costs by 50%. The same workload was run with five servers and achieved the same results. ROI analysis is summarized in Table 2.

The takeaway here is that you can replace your existing storage with All Flash FAS and get a big performance bump while substantially reducing your costs, with the majority of the savings derived from the reduction in SQL Server licensing costs.

Maximum SQL Server 2014 Performance
In addition to the ROI analysis, we also measured the maximum performance of the AFF8080 EX with SQL Server 2014. A load-generation tool was used to simulate an industry-standard TPC-E OLTP workload against an SQL Server 2014 test configuration.
A two-node AFF8080 EX achieved a maximum throughput of 322K IOPS at just over 1ms latency. For all points other than the maximum load point, latency was consistently under 1ms and remained under 0.8ms up to 180K IOPS.
Data Reduction and Storage Efficiency
In addition to performance testing, we looked at the overall storage efficiency savings of our SQL Server database implementation. The degree of compression that can be achieved is dependent on the actual data that is written and stored in the database. For this environment, inline compression was effective. Deduplication, as is often the case in database environments, provided little additional storage savings and was not enabled.
For the test data used in the maximum performance test, we measured a compression ratio of 1.5:1. We also tested inline compression on a production SQL Server 2014 data set to further validate these results and saw a 1.8:1 compression ratio.
Space-efficient NetApp Snapshot® copies provide additional storage efficiency benefits for database environments. Unlike snapshot methods that use copy-on-write, there is no performance penalty; unlike full mirror copies, NetApp Snapshot copies use storage space sparingly. Snapshot copies only consume a small amount of storage space for metadata and additional incremental space is consumed as block-level changes occur. In a typical real-world SQL Server deployment on NetApp storage, database volume Snapshot copies are made every two hours.
First introduced more than 10 years ago, NetApp FlexClone® technology also plays an important role in SQL Server environments. Clones are fully writable, and, similar to Snapshot copies, only consume incremental storage capacity. With FlexClone, you can create as many copies of production data as you need for development and test, reporting, and so on. Cloning is a great way to support the development and test work needed when upgrading from an earlier version of SQL Server. You'll sometimes see these types of capabilities referred to as "copy data management."
A Better Way to Run Enterprise Applications
The performance benefits that all-flash storage can deliver for database environments are significant: more IOPS, lower latency, and an end to near-constant performance tuning.
If you think the performance acceleration that comes with all-flash storage is cost prohibitive, think again. All Flash FAS doesn't just deliver a performance boost, it changes the economics of your operations, paying for itself with thousands in savings on licensing and server costs. In terms of dollars per IOPS, All Flash FAS is extremely economical relative to HDD.
And, because All Flash FAS runs NetApp clustered Data ONTAP, it delivers the most complete environment to support SQL Server and all your enterprise applications with capabilities that include comprehensive storage efficiency, integrated data protection, and deep integration for your applications.
For complete details on this testing look for NetApp TR-4303, which will be available in a few weeks. Stay tuned to Tech OnTap for more information as NetApp continues to run benchmarks with important server workloads including Oracle DB and server virtualization.

Looking for a high-performance and reliable NAS

Hi,
I have been searching for a high-performance and reliable SOHO NAS storage but I have seen very mixed and contradicting reviews for the products I have looked at so far. From QNAP to Synology to etc.

Server was a cloned VM of the test server with developer copy of CF11, but license has been purchased and applied. SSL certs have been imported successfully, paths are correct in CF Admin to the cert file etc.
Do I need to install another version of Coldfusion to get around this issue or is there a download update I need to apply?
If i reconfig the \cfusion\runtime\conf\server.xml to comment out the SSL sections it works fine.
Any assistance welcome - I can't allow this site to made publicly available with using SSL.

@Scott, first are you running update 3? If so, let’s clarify at the outside that, as that bug report (you point to) does indicate in the notes below it, there is a fix for a problem where this feature broke in that release. And as it notes, you can email [email protected] to request the fix (referring to that bug), or you can wait for it to be released publicly as part of a larger set of fixes.
If you are NOT on update 3, or you may apply the fix and find things still don’t work, I would wonder about a few things, from what you’ve described.
First, you say that the CF service won’t start, and you offer some lines from the ColdFusion-error log. Just to be clear, those particular error messages are common and nothing to worry about. They definitely do NOT reflect any reason CF doesn’t start. But are you confirming that that time (in the log lines) is in fact the time that you had started CF, when it would not start? I’d suspect not.
Look instead in the coldfusin-out.log. What does THAT log show at the time you try to start CF and it won’t start? You may find something else there. (And since you refer to editing the server.xml file, you may the log complains that because of an error in the XML it can’t “parse” the file. It’s worth checking.
You say also that you have confirmed that “paths are correct in CF Admin to the cert file”. What path are you referring to? There’s no page in the CF admin that points to the CACERTS file in which the certs are stored. Do you perhaps mean on the “system info” or “settings summary” page? Even so there’s still no line in there which refers to the “cert file”.
Instead—and this could be a part of your problem—the cert file is simply found WITHIN the directory where CF’s pointed to to find its JVM. Wherever THAT is, is where you need to put any certificates. So take a look at the CF Admin, either in the ”java and jvm” page (and the value of its “Java Virtual Machine Path”), or in the “settings summary” or “system information” pages and their value for “Java Home”. Is that something like \coldfusion11\jre? Or something like \Java\jdk1.7.0_71\jre? Whichever it is, THAT’s where you need to put the certs, within there (in its \lib\security folder).
Finally, when you say that if you “comment out the SSL sections it works fine”, do you mean that a) CF comes up and b) some example code calling your socket works, as long as you don’t use SSL?
To be clear, no, you don’t need any other version of CF11 to get websockets to work. But if you are on update 3, that may be the simple problem. Let us know how it goes for you with this info.

Performance and Stability Problem with PE9

I just upgraded my computer to a Core i5 with 8G of memory and everything is running much faster. But my NEW PE9 just run very slow. Some of the simple tasks take 10-30 second to complete. Even Windows 7 will often come out to ask if I want to wait for PE9 to wake up or kill the process. When I want to change the size of a video clip, it just doesn't work at all due to performance. It will take PE9 20-30 seconds to resize the video clip. Without some realtime feedback of the size, it is impossible to do the resizing and this is a very fundamental operation. PE9 often crash or seize up as well, I didn't have any of these problem with PE3.0. I upgraded to PE9 simply because my PE3.0 for WIndows XP is not comletely compatible with Windows 7 (some of the text displace does not show up).

Title: Achieving Availability, Performance and Control of Java Applications
in Financial Services
Abstract:
In today's competitive environment, financial institutions must focus on
three key business goals:
a.. Creating a customer-centric enterprise to maximize value to customers
and increase share of wallet
b.. Improving transactional efficiency for rapid delivery of the right
products, services and information to customers and to employees
c.. Accelerating the decision making process to mitigate risk and improve
returns.
BEA and Wily Technology have helped a number of financial services firms
meet these objectives by delivering high-performance business solutions that
meet rigorous demands for performance, reliability and scalability.
On October 1, 2002, Wily Technology and BEA will present a joint Web seminar
titled "Achieving Availability, Performance and Control of Java Applications
in Financial Services" with Eric Gudgion, Principal System Architect,
Technical Solutions Group at BEA and Chris Farrell, Director of Technical
Marketing at Wily. This Webinar will showcase the many advantages that the
WebLogic® Enterprise PlatformT and Wily's Introscope® offer financial
services firms.
Attendees will learn how WebLogic Server, BEA's unified, simplified and
extensible solution, provides a robust platform for the development and
deployment of enterprise Java applications. Some examples of what financial
institutions can achieve with BEA include Multi-channel Services Delivery,
Straight-Through Processing, Wealth Management and Cash Management.
Wily Technology will highlight Introscope's ability to manage financial
services Java applications by pinpointing component-level performance issues
in real-time, whether in the application, application server or
Java-connected back-end systems. Wily's suite of Java application management
solutions offers a comprehensive platform for achieving 24x7 application
availability, enhanced performance and better control of IT resources.

First of all you should check out which products are supported on 64bit :- http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/hyperion-supported-platforms.html
If you are planning on using windows 64bit EAS then you will have to manually deploy the web application, it cannot be automatically deployed.

Macbook Air case with magnets. Will it affect hardware or performance of product?

Macbook Air case with magnets. Will it affect hardware or performance of product?

No, the low power N30 or N35 gauss neodymium magnets in the magnetic flap cases will not affect it.
There is no HD, and the SSD are hard (relatively) to corrupt by magnetic field unless high gauss and at close proximity.

BPC 5.1 Performance and Dashboards

Hi:
I have BPC 5.1 Installation and cannot find the Performance feature installed.
I have seen this in Demo VMware which is located at http://<<server>>/osoft/performance/default.aspx.
I could not find this and when I checked my server installation I do not have performance folder in my web directory.
Is there a separate installation for performance and dashboards?
Thanks,
Subramania

I asked this question of product support a few months ago, and received the following response.
Response (Alexandru Berindei) 12/06/2007 08:19 AM
Tim,
I am sorry to say but it is not part of the product, it is technically a prototype/custom solution. It will not be supported in 5 nor become part of the commercial product.

SQL/XML performance and xdbcore-parameter

Hello,
I try to figure out, what the best method to retrieve large XML-Documents is.
I compare performance and resources needed for: SQL/XML, DBMS_XMLGEN, SYS_XMLGEN and XSU.
With a fixed set of 1000 rows I created XML of about 32 MB.
I am on 10.2.0.4 on Linux
XML is not schema based.
SQL*Plus: Release 10.1.0.4.2 - Production on Fri Aug 21 13:35:42 2009
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, Data Mining and Real Application Testing optionsWhat I see, is that SQL/XML is the slowest and needs huge PGA amount (160 Mb and seems to increase linearly, for 5000 rows I've measured ~800 Mb).
As I've read here, memory issues with SQL/XML should have been solved in 9.2.0.3 (?)
Is this the case? Or is this PGA amount ok?
I would like also to test the impact of xdbcore-xobmem-bound and xdbcore-loadableunit-size parameters.
But I cannot observe any impact. Must I restart the database everytime after change of xdbconfig.xml?
But also after increasing from 1024 16 to resp. 10240 5120 and restart the same speed and memory consumption are in place.
Am I doing something wrong?

Point of sales (POS) and Product data management (PDM)

Hi guys,
please any one can tell me what is Point of sales (POS) and Product data management (PDM) in SD module and give me structures on this

As i know it is not supported.
Oracle supports counter sales order. But if performance is considered invoicing and receipt is slow in Oracle. So this can have workaround...

Difference bet ween Fleet Object and Production Resource Tools

Hi all,
Please give me the difference between Fleet Object and Production Resource Tools in Plant Maintenance
Thanks in Advance
Thanks,
shriraam

Dear,
Production Resources/Tools (PRT)
Unlike machines and fixed assets, production resources and tools (PRTs) are movable (not stationary) operating resources that are required to perform an activity and can be used repeatedly. For example, PRTs include documents, engineering drawings, jigs and fixtures, and measurement instruments.
Fleet Management
Here can map the vehicles as equipment master records and enter vehicle-specific additional data, which is displayed in the system on two additional tab pages. This means that you can now specify important fleet data such as the license plate number, load volume, consumption data, fuel card number, engine data, or fuel type and so on directly in the equipment master record.
You can also perform maintenance planning for a fleet object. You can make the date of the next scheduled service dependent on the distance
Please refer this link,

Class for Purchase order item components and Production order components

I'm looking for a some classes.   I'm very new to objects, so I could be searching for them incorrectly.
The first class I'm looking for is a purchase order class that contains the item components. I've looked at CL_PO_ITEM_HANDLE_MM and CL_PO_HEADER_HANDLE_MM. I couldn't find components as a part of either of the classes.
The second one I'm looking for is not as critical. It is for the components for a production order.   I have a function module: BAPI_PRODORD_GET_DETAIL that gets the components for the order. However, to take advantage of objects - I read somewhere - that if possible I should avoid calling a function module.
Any help that you could give would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Michelle

Hello Michelle
I do not think there are already classes available on ERP 6.0 for reading production order (yet I might be wrong...). However, regarding purchase order you are already on the right track.

Demo and Production install

I have performed Demo install OVM and it works fine but I need to keep the same database (Oracle Database 11g XE) since everything is configured then perform production install. Is this possible or I have to start from scratch? Thanks

890391 wrote:
1- So for the testing purposes I am using a demo install but when I added more disks from the available disks, the "Disk ordering" did not show all the assigned disks and this is noticed only with VMs that are installed from ISO - I am not for sure at this point if I am missing anything or the demo works this way - Any idea?There is no difference in the UI between Demo and Production mode installs -- just which DB is used behind the scenes. This is another issue, so please start a new topic for this. The Disk Ordering tab should always show all the disks that are assigned to a VM.
2- What's the difference between XE and SE? Do they work differently with OVM?XE is the free-to-use, resource-limited version of Oracle DB, which comes with no support.
3- If using Oracle SE, do I need to configure anything to be able to use it or the installer will automatically configure it? You need to install SE or EE manually first, either on the Manager server or another machine. Once SE is installed, you use the Production installation mode for Oracle VM Manager to connect to the existing SE database.
