Performance Improvements in Report

Dear ABAPers,
I am developing the Report.The Input parameters are Brand name , Month and Year.The data has to be selected from header tables , item tables and Sub item tables.So i am writing the select statement inside the loop because i could not avoid it(The data has to be selected from two levels).
My questin is How to avoid writing the select statement inside the Loop? or if i write the select statement outside the loop will performance be the same?.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashok.

Hi Ashok,
You can do one thing.
Create 3 internal tables. One for header, second for details and third for sub item.
Use FOR ALL ENTRIES to fetch the data.
Now SORT these tables.
Then LOOP on the sub item table, under this loop use READ TABLE for item table and below this use READ TABLE for header table. Use BINARY SEARCH as well.
This approach will improve your performance.
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Nitin.

How to improve the query performance in to report level and designer level

How to improve the query performance in to report level and designer level......?
Plz let me know the detail view......

first its all based on the design of the database, universe and the report.
at the universe Level, you have to check your Contexts very well to get the optimal performance of the universe and also your joins, keep your joins with key fields, will give you the best performance.
at the report level, try to make the reports dynamic as much as you can, (Parameters) and so on.
and when you create a paremeter try to get it match with the key fields in the database.
good luck

How Can we improve the report performance..?

Hi exports,
I am learning the Business Objects XIR2, Please let me know How Can we improve the report performance..?
Please give the answer in detailed way.

First find out why your report is performing slowly. Then fix it.
That sounds silly, but there's really no single-path process for improving report performance. You might find issues with the report. With the network. With the universe. With the database. With the database design. With the query definition. With report variables. With the ETL. Once you figure out where the problem is, then you start fixing it. Fixing one problem may very well reveal another. I spent two years working on a project where we touched every single aspect of reporting (from data collection through ETL and all the way to report delivery) at some point or another.
I feel like your question is a bit broad (meaning too generic) to address as you have phrased it. Even some of the suggestions already given...
Array fetch size - this determines the number of rows fetched at a single pass. You really don't need to modify this unless your network is giving issues. I have seen folks suggest setting this to one (which results in a lot of network requests) or 500 (which results in fewer requests but they're much MUCH larger). Does either improve performance? They might, or they might make it worse. Without understanding how your network traffic is managed it's hard to say.
Shortcut joins? Sure, they can help, as long as they are appropriate. [Many times they are not.|http://www.dagira.com/2010/05/27/everything-about-shortcut-joins/]
And I could go on and on. The bottom line is that performance tuning doesn't typically fall into a "cookie cutter" approach. It would be better to have a specific question.

Is there a way to improve the performance of a report group?

Hi gurus,
Is there a way to improve the performance of a report group?
Points will be given later....
Thanks!

Hi there,
Thank you for your response. I thought there's no answer for this issue and planning to change it to ALV.
I looked at the codes and debugged it. After the select statement from ZZUWT table (customized), there's a loop that takes much time (10-12mins) for 1000 records. and several nested perform routines. It's a standard program so I'm hesitant to edit it.
I'll be checking on the primary keys. If it's ok, may I ask for your assistance in this part? Though I'm not that familiar and haven't tried creating a report painter before.
Thanks anyway...:D

Report performance while creating report on BEx

All all!
I am creating a report on BOE 4.0 on top of BEx connection as a source. I have developed reports on top of universe in the past and i know that if we keep calculations on reporting end it hampers the report performance. Is this the same case with BEx? if we are following the best practices is it ok to say that we should keep all heavy calculations/ aggregation on BEx or backend for better report performance.
Can you guys please provide your opinion based on your experiance and knowledge. Any feedbacks will help! Thanks.

Hi,
Definitely best-practice to delegate a maximum of CKF to the Cube where possilble, put RKF in the BEx query, and Filters too.
also, add Default Values to your Variables (this will speed up generation of the bics transient universe)
also, since Patch2.10, we are seeing some significant performance improvements reducing 'document initialization' and 'time to prompts' by up to 50% (step such as these often took 1.5 minutes, even on sized systems)
Also, make sure you have BW corrections like this implemented: 1593802 Performance optimization when loading query views
In the BusinessObjects landscape - especially with BI 4.0 - it's all about Sizing and Tuning . Here is your bible the 'sizing companion' guide : http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000738725&_OBJECT=011000358700000307202011E
Pay particular attention to BICSChunkSize registry settings
Also, the -Xmx JVM Heap Size for the Adaptive Processing Server that is running the DSL_Bridge service.

Performance of a Report Based On VirtualProvider

Dear BW experts,
We have created a new BEx 3.x report, which contains about 6 queries, and 2 pre queries.
The report runs very slowly, the upload time is about 40 seconds.
The report itself contains one tab with 11 tables.
The MultiProvider that the queries are based on is a virtual InfoCube, so we can't use aggregates.
Could someone advice us how to optimize the performance of the report?
Thanks you in advance.
Best Regards,
Inbal.

Hi,
Query variables are not passed only to the virtual provider by default, i.e enter dataset of the extractor is pulled the data manager and then it is filtered out which could the issue for the long runtimes.
If the datasource of the virtual provider has selections then we could passed those from the query to the datasource while query execution at the inverse start routine and reduce the amount of data actual pulled by the virtual provider and hence improve the performance of the query.
Below is the link to the sap documentation on inverse routine.

Performance issue in report programming..

Hi,
I am using one customized Function Module whithin a loop of internal table containing fields of PROJ table for about 200 records . And in the source code of function module there is set of select queries for different tables like COSS COSP , AUFK , PRPS , BPJA PRHI , AFPO , AFKO etc . so due to that my performance of a report is very low , So how can i improve it .
Is there any other way to change a code.
regards
Chetan

Hi John ,
I am using SAP ECC 6.0 .
The report is used to update a ztable which is already created for Project System plan data .
So i am calling function module which will return a internal table , I am appending this to other internal table and refreshing it , like this I am doing for each project within a loop of PROJ internal table , finaly by using the final itab I am modifying the ztable fields.
Code is as below..
select pspid from proj client specified into corresponding fields of
          table t_itab1 where mandt = sy-mandt
                          and pspnr in s_pspnr
                          and vbukr = p_vbukr
                          and prctr in s_prctr.
loop at t_itab1.
    l_pspid = t_itab1-pspid.
CALL FUNCTION 'ZPS_FUN_BUDGETS'
      EXPORTING
        L_PSPID       = l_pspid
        L_VBUKR       = p_vbukr
      TABLES
        T_DATA        = t_itab2 .
loop at t_itab2.
      append t_itab2 to t_itab.
    endloop.
    clear   : t_itab2.
    refresh : t_itab2.
endloop.
LOOP AT t_itab.
***MODIFY ZTABLE.*****
ENDLOOP.

Performance issue of report

Hi Friends,
Can you please give me the exact answer for the below question.
Suppose my report program is taking long time to execute, what are the reasons that may effect the report.
and what are the remedies should i follow, please provide appropriate answer.
Advance thanks,
Chandra.

hi,,
Go to tranx SE30 here you will get Tips and Trciks for the performance tuning.
Check it carefully and check whether you can do something for improving performance of you code.
It will help you a lot and will reduce your Execution time.
If you are using READ TABLE command in your program then you can check whether you can use HASHED TABLE it will improve performance of your code a lot but it has some restrictions.
I will explain some of the points to improve the performance of the report try to write code according to that ok.
SOME STEPS USED TO IMPROVE UR PERFORMANCE:
1. Avoid using SELECT...ENDSELECT... construct and use SELECT ... INTO TABLE.
2. Use WHERE clause in your SELECT statement to restrict the volume of data retrieved.
3. Design your Query to Use as much index fields as possible from left to right in your WHERE statement
4. Use FOR ALL ENTRIES in your SELECT statement to retrieve the matching records at one shot.
5. Avoid using nested SELECT statement, SELECT within LOOPs.
6. Avoid using INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE. Instead use INTO TABLE.
7. Avoid using SELECT * and Select only the required fields from the table.
8. Avoid nested loops when working with large internal tables.
9. Use assign instead of into in LOOPs for table types with large work areas
10. When in doubt call transaction SE30 and use the examples and check your code
11. Whenever using READ TABLE use BINARY SEARCH addition to speed up the search. Be sure to sort the internal table before binary search. This is a general thumb rule but typically if you are sure that the data in internal table is less than 200 entries you need not do SORT and use BINARY SEARCH since this is an overhead in performance.
12. Use "CHECK" instead of IF/ENDIF whenever possible.
13. Use "CASE" instead of IF/ENDIF whenever possible.
14. Use "MOVE" with individual variable/field moves instead of "MOVE-
CORRESPONDING", creates more coding but is more effcient.
Reward points if helpful.

Performance Issue Crystal Report and Oracle

Hello,
We have one procedure that takes 3 input parameters and returns Cursor from Procedure that is used to design the report. There is no caluculation involved here and cursor is opended dynamically. We are using Oracle Native connection.
When we click on preview button it takes lots of time ( >10 Mins) to show complete data. While we call the same procedure in application and generate HTML report using Cursor returned it is done in < 15 Seconds. Can some point me where to look into to improve the performance of Crystal Report.
DB: Oracle 10G
CR: Version XI

Hi Vadiraja
The performance of a report is related to:
External factors:
1. The amount of time the database server takes to process the SQL query.
( Crystal Reports send the SQL query to the database, the database process it, and returns the data set to Crystal Reports. )
2. Network traffics.
3. Local computer processor speed.
( When Crystal Reports receives the data set, it generates a temp file to further filter the data when necessary, as well as to group, sort, process formulas, ... )
4. The number of record returned
( If a sql query returns a large number of records, it will take longer to format and display than if was returning a smaller data set.)
Report design:
1. Where is the Record Selection evaluated.
Ensure your Record Selection Formula can be translated in SQL, so the data can be filter down on the server, otherwise the filtering will be done in a temp file on the local machine which will be much slower.
They have many functions that cannot be translated in SQL because they may not have a standard SQL for it.
For example, control structure like IF THEN ELSE cannot be translated into SQL. It will always be evaluated in Crystal Reports. But if you use an IF THEN ELSE on a parameter, it will convert the result of the condition to SQL, but as soon as uses database fileds in the conditions it will not be translated in SQL.
2. How many subreports the report contains and in section section they are located.
Minimise the number of subreports used, or avoid using subreports if possible because
subreports are reports within a report, and if you have a subreport in a details section, and the report returns 100 records, the subreport will be evaluated 100 times, so it will query the database 100 times. It is often the biggest factor why a report takes a long time to preview.
3. How many records will be returned to the report.
Large number of records will slow down the preview of the reports.
Ensure you only returns the necessary data on the report, by creating a Record Selection Formula, or basing your report off a Stored Procedure, or a Command Object that only returns the desired data set.
4. Do you use the special field "Page N of M", or "TotalPageCount"
When the special field "Page N of M" or "TotalPageCount" is used on a report, it will have to generate each page of the report before it displays the first page, therfore it will take more time to display the first page of the report.
If you want to improve the speed of a report, remove the special field "Page N of M" or "Total Page Count" or formula that uses the function "TotalPageCount". If those aren't use when you view a report it only format the page requested.
It won't format the whole report.
5. Link tables on indexed fields whenever possible.
6. Remove unused tables, unused formulas, unused running totals from the report.
7. Suppress unnecessary sections.
8. For summaries, use conditional formulas instead of running totals when possible.
9. Whenever possible, limit records through selection, not suppression.
10. Use SQL expressions to convert fields to be used in record selection instead of using formula functions.
For example, if you need to concatenate 2 fields together, instead of doing it in a formula, you can create a SQL Expression Field. It will concatenate the fields on the database server, instead of doing in Crystal Reports. SQL Expression Fields are added to the SELECT clause of the SQL Query send to the database.
11. Using one command as the datasource can be faster if you returns only the desired data set.
It can be faster if the SQL query written only return the desired data.
12. Perform grouping on server
This is only relevant if you only need to return the summary to your report but not the details. It will be faster as less data will be returned to the reports.

Performance issue webi report-BOXI3.1

Hi,
We have a requirement for a report where we will give user a set of objects (26 u2013 31) to do analysis using interactive viewing feature. Here we are facing severe performance issues and memory issues as the data that we are calling is huge( around 6 million records). At the report level we will be summarizing the data.
No of rows in the report is depending on the no of objects.
Mode of view : Interactive view.
Note:
1. Objects which are using in conditional level those have indexes.
2. No of report level variable are two.
3. Version of Business objects: BOXI3.1
4. OS: Sun Solaris
Please let me know if there are any means by which the memory requirements for the report can be minimized/ performance of the report can be improved.
Thanks,
Subash

Subash,
At the report level we will be summarizing the data ... any means by which the memory requirements for the report can be minimized/ performance of the report can be improved
Is there any way that you can summarize this on the database side versus the report level? The database should be sized with memory and disk space properly to handle these types of summarizations versus expecting the application to perform it.
Thanks,
John

How to optimize the performance of crystal report?

Hi,
-I have to design a crystal report with best possible optimization. Optimization is main concern since report will run against 1-2 million data set. Though I am using parameter to fetch only the required data, required data can go till 1 million records.
-Based on the input passed by the user I have to group the data in report. And for each selected parameter the Detail section I am printing is different. For example:-If user selects store then detail section is different and if user select Host then detail section will be different.
-Report can be grouped by Time Field also. So to full fill this requirement I would have to create a sub report since other parameters are of string type and can be used in one formula to get parameter based grouping in report. However If I try to return Time filed from the same formula I get the errors the "Return type should be of String typeu201D. This forces me to create sub report for Time based grouping. If user selects Time Field to be grouped on, all the information in the main report gets suppressed and only the sub report gets printed.
If user select store, Host and User in parameter to be grouped on, sub report gets suppressed.
Now with the above mentioned points I tried to optimize the report in following way.
-Printing 1 million records in the report does not make sense; hence we wanted to show the summary of all the records in chart section but wanted to print just 5000 records in detailed section. Suppressing detailed section after 5000 records does not help much since suppressing just saves the time in printing and does not limit the number of records to be fetched from the DB.I have a subreport also so it fetches the data 2 times from the DB hence makes the performance of the report worse.
To solve this problem I used command object and put the charts in the subreport and detail in main report.
In main report's Command Object I limited the number to records to be fetched from the DB to 5000 using rownum<5000 but in subreport's Command Object I did not set any limit in the query but I am doing all my aggregation in SQL which means do summary operation in DB and get only summarized data from DB.
-To solve section problem I am using Template object (new feature added in CR 2008).In which I am returning the field based on the "Group By" parameter selected by user.
-For time Field I have created two sub reports, one for chart and other one for details in the same way described in point one(Printing 1 million recordsu2026u2026).
After implementing these points my crystal reports performance improved drastically. The report that was taking 24 minute to come back now taking only 2 minutes.
However I want my report to come back with one minute. It returns if I remove the sub reports for Time Based Grouping but I can not do so.
My questions here are,
-Can I stop Subreport from fetching the data from DB if itu2019s suppressed?
-I believe using Conditional Template Object is a better option rather than having multiple detailed sections to print the data for a selected Group. However any suggestion here to improve the performance will be appreciable.
-since crystal report does not provide any option to limit the number of records to be fetched from DB, I am forced to use command object with rownum in where condition.
Please let me know about other option(s) to get this done...If there is any.
I am using Crystal report 2008.And we have developed our application the use JRC to export crystal report in PDF.

Amrita

Regarding performance of a report

Hi friends,
In the loop statement I am using modify statement for updating the data in the internal table .
I have to improve the performance of a report.
is there any alternative for Improving teh performance.,
Regards,
Jayan

HI
If u r modifying Ztable no probelm because we will be having small amount of data .
IF u r updating standard table Do like below .
First collect all the records which you want to update to table into one internal table .
Then update the table with that internal table ..
IT will be better when you are updating standard table .
I think this will help you ..
If u r not understood copy paste ur code i can solve ur probelm ...

Performance improvement in OBIEE 11.1.1.5

Hi all,
In OBIEE 11.1.1.5 reports takes long time to load , Kindly provide me some performance improvement guides.
Thanks,
Haree.

Hi Haree,
Steps to improve the performance.
1. implement caching mechanism
2. use aggregates
3. use aggregate navigation
4. limit the number of initialisation blocks
5. turn off logging
6. carry out calculations in database
7. use materialized views if possible
8. use database hints
9. alter the NQSONFIG.ini parameters
Note:calculate all the aggregates in the Repository it self and Create a Fast Refresh for MV(Materialized views).
and you can also do one thing you can schedule an IBOT to run the report every 1 hour or some thing so that the report data will be cached and when the user runs the report the BI Server extracts the data from Cache
This is the latest version for OBIEE11g.
http://blogs.oracle.com/pa/resource/Oracle_OBIEE_Tuning_Guide.pdf
Report level:
1. Enable cache -- change nqsconfig instead of NO change to YES.
2. GO--> Physical layer --> right click table--> properties --> check cacheable.
3. Try to implement Aggregate mechanism.
4.Create Index/Partition in Database level.
There are multiple other ways to fine tune reports from OBIEE side itself:
1) You can check for your measures granularity in reports and have level base measures created in RPD using OBIEE utility.
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2007/10/using-the-obiee-aggregate-persistence-wizard/
This will pick your aggr tables and not detailed tables.
2) You can use Caching Seeding options. Using ibot or Using NQCMD command utility
http://www.artofbi.com/index.php/2010/03/obiee-ibots-obi-caching-strategy-with-seeding-cache/
http://satyaobieesolutions.blogspot.in/2012/07/different-to-manage-cache-in-obiee-one.html
OR
http://hiteshbiblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/obiee-schedule-purge-and-re-build-of.html
Using one of the above 2 methods, you can fine tune your reports and reduce the query time.
Also, on a safer side, just take the physical SQL from log and run it directly on DB to see the time taken and check for the explain plan with the help of a DBA.
Hope this help's
Thanks,
Satya

Performance issues in reporting side

hi gurus,
   how to improve performance in reporting side.
thanku

Hi kumar,
Query Performance Techniques:
1.     Check Query propertiesUse RSRT tcode
2.     Check whether cube is compressed
3.     Optimize query definition
4.     Analyze query execution
5.     Check for additional indexes
6.     Archive unwanted data
7.     Check for partitioning options
8.     Check for additional aggregates ( Consider DB ratio and KPI ratio)
9.     Check for parallelization options
10.     Use Nav attributes instead of hierarchies, use free char and filters.
Possible causes for the performance :
A) High Database Runtime
B) High OLAP Runtime
C) High Frontend Runtime
Depending upon your analysis
A)Strategy - High Database Runtime
Check if an aggregate is suitable (use All data to get values "selected records to transferred records", a high number here would be an indicator for query performance improvement using an aggregate)
Check if database statistics are update to data for the Cube/Aggregate, use Tcode RSRV output (use database check for statistics and indexes)
Check if the read mode of the query is unfavourable - Recommended (H)
B)Strategy - High OLAP Runtime
Check if a high number of Cells transferred to the OLAP (use "All data" to get value "No. of Cells")
a) Use RSRT technical Information to check if any extra OLAP-processing is necessary (Stock Query, Exception Aggregation, Calc. before Aggregation, Virtual Char. Key Figures, Attributes in Calculated Key Figs, Time-dependent Currency Translation) together with a high number of records transferred.
b) Check if a user exit Usage is involved in the OLAP runtime?
c) Check if large hierarchies are used and the entry hierarchy level is as deep as possible. This limits the levels of the hierarchy that must be processed.
C)Strategy - High Frontend Runtime
1) Check if frontend PC are within the recommendation (RAM, CPU Mhz)
2) Check if the bandwidth for WAN connection is sufficient.
Hope this helps you..
