Performance testing of Input schedule and report

Hi All,
We are checking the time taken for a template to expand and refresh,
In a scenario, a report with 18000 rows expanded in 80 seconds,
But in BW backend system it shows,
SQE Query read: 5 seconds
It means remaining 75 seconds are required for front end, Is it possible to split up this time like where it takes more time.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramanathan

Hi,
Dynamic EvDre with formating on degrades report / input schedule performance.
Please check whether your input schedule with formating or not?
Thanks,

Copy / move input schedules and reports to a team folder

Hi,
Is there a way to take a group of input schedules / reports that are currently saved in one team folder and copy them to another in one go or do I have to do it one by one, i.e. individually?
Thanks,
Arnold

P.S.
1) Log in to BW -> UJFS -> go to desired folder -> right click -> Download it.
2) Right click on where you want move - > Right click -> Upload it

Hi Hungh,
If your are using BPC 10 with EPM add in client, you can use the function:
EPMDimensionProperty ()
This function retrieves the properties of a specified dimension in a specified cell range.

Publication, Scheduling and Report Bursting

Hi,
what is the main differences between Publication and Scheduling and Report Bursting.
Regards,
G

Hi,
When scheduling a WebI report, you instruct the system to let it run for a certain parameter set at a given time. The result is stored in your system and it called instance.
In a publication you can include more than one reports (several kinds too) and define how and to whom you want to delivered them to. Then you can run/schedule your publication and the content will be delivered as defined at a given point in time.

BO XIr3 scurity - disable scheduling and report save as output

Good afternoon
I am administering a Business OBjects Xir3 system. I am creating users and groups and applying some base level security via access levels. At the moment I am tryign to stop users from scheduling or rescheduling reports and to stop them saving reports as anything but pdf output.
To achieve this I created and access level that I have assigned to the group in which the users are members:
In the access level I have specified (under general) to disable the ability to schedule or reschedule any reports
I have have denied access to schedule from applications\performance management
Under content\web intelligence report I have specified to override general global and deined access to all scheduling options here also
None of this appears to have worked users still have the option to schedule form the actions menu and the right click.
For the restricted save as ouput i have denied the option to save as csv and xls under Under content\web intelligence report but again this has not taken effect. Have i missed an option to check or have i missed something really obvious about the setup of BO XIr3
any help greatly appreciated
Chris

Hi Chris,
the workflow is the following:
1. Define the access levels ( You have done this)
2. Assign the access levels to users/groups for accessing specific objects (Folders, Reports, Groups, Users, Applications etc.).
I must admit that you are right, some BOBJ authorizations imply the kind of objects they can be applied to. But on the other hand some authorizations do make sense for several kinds of objects. The implementation of the BOBJ authorization scheme requires that you explicitely define the object level your access level should be applied to.
So I suggest that to assign the defined access levels at the "All Folders" level to the related Users/Groups in your organisation.
Just log on the CMC, select "Folders" from the drop-down menue, just highlight one of the folders, invoke the context menue (by pressing the right mouse button) and navigate to Manage->Security->All Folders Security . You can do there the access level assignment for your principals (ie. users or groups).

Difference between input schedule and Journal?

Hi all, we need a brief explanation of Journals vs regular Input Schedules.
Can an expert explain to me the differences between a Journal Entry and just a regular Input schedule?
1.For journal entries are you only supposed to enter the change or the total for that account?
2. Where are journal entries stored?
3. Can journal entries be viewed latter and/or reversed?
4. Do Journal entries get put into the audit tables?
Thanks

Hi Dermot,
I think you're right that this is a significant difference between the two. I believe journals operate just as you expect - they are an "additional" amount.
So if you already have $100 in an account and you put in a journal for $20, then the system will do the logic to make that account value $120 behind the scenes. If you input $20 into an input schedule the system will make that account value $20, not $120.

Scheduler and Report Time Conflict

Hello,
We have scheduled some Jobs such as monthly, semi-annually reports using dbms_scheduler. we use 10gR2 software and windows 2003 server. we have a report which supposed to run at 4:00 AM and as soon as the report finishes it sends the report as email to the authorized users. when the scheduler ran the report inside the report it shows as ran at 3:08 AM where they get systimestamp. but when i query the
select last_stat_time, next_run__date from dba_scheduler_jobs where job_name ='TEST';
last_start_time next_run_date
03-DEC-12 04.00.00..223000 AM -04:00 07-JAN-13 04.00.00..200000 AM -04:00
when I query systimestamp from dual on that database from sqlplus:
i get the following:
systimestamp
04-DEC-12 07.40.16..152000 AM -05:00
I see the difference of -04.00 and -05.00 from both of the queries. i know the systimestamp from dual is correct. how to I fix the scheduler Job to run at the correct time with daylight savings to take effect?
Help is much appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you.More appropriate for the Scheduler forum (Scheduler but I can tell you that if the job schedule is specified with a time zone expressed as a GMT offset (as yours are) then it is NOT "dst aware". Also comes into play if you are using a pl/sql function vs. the scheduler calendaring expressions for REPEAT_INTERVAL.
I'd suggest you close this msg and start again in the proper forum. You'll get better and more focused help there.

Max file size of input schedule

Hello experts,
We are using BPC 7.5 NW sp4
I've created input schedule and it's size about 6MB. I tried to save this input schedule, but system returns error.
Currently the biggest file I've managed to save is 2MB
Does anybody know max allowed size of file for input schedules and reports? And How we can change this parameter
Best regards,
Evgen Chadiuk

Hi Evgen,
BPC doesn't handle upload of large files through the Excel interface very well. If you go into UJFS (in BW) and find the input schedules for your application, you should be able to upload the input schedule through that interface.
A good way to "compress" reports and input schedules is to delete all data from them before saving. I don't know if this will work in your case, but maybe it's another option.

Launch specific BPC Excel Report/Input Schedule or BPF from Infoview

Hi all,
We would like to launch either a specific BPC for Excel report and/or input schedule, or link to a specific BPF from BOBJ Infoview (probably a Webi report).
Therefore is it possible to provide a url to Webi to do this?
This is BPC NW 7.5
Many thanks,
Andy

Hi you all,
we are dealing with the same problem in our project. Our customer is implementing BPC and wants the Excel input schedules to be launched from the same place where their current BI (BO) reports are stored. That's InfoView, or actually soon BI Launchpad 4.0.
Is it anyhow possible to launch a normal BPC Excel input schedule directly from InfoView/BI Launchpad? I tested a bit with OsCLD function with a published Input schedule, and using the link OsCLD returns as Launchpad hyperlink, it's possible to open the .xls file in Launchpad browser window. Of course, none of the BPC's own structures or functions are there so it's just a plain excel sheet, not an really input schedule... so I guess BPC for Excel must be running when opening them and that pretty much is the same as using them directly from the Excel UI. But it's not the solution the customer wants to use.
Their reason for using Launchpad is that they control user access to their current reporting with the InfoView folder structure and want to use the existing authorization this way for BPC planning too.
Any suggestions?
BR,
Andy

How can BPC display the property in report input schedule

When create a property, if the InApp is check, we can use the property in the MDX Query, however what is the best way to display the property in report and input schedule?
Although we can use the EvPRO function, but according the definition of EvPRO
"The EvPRO (Property value) function returns the value of a specified property for a specified member."
for example =EVPRO("Finance","Sales","Currency") will returns USD, if the currency value for the member Sales is U.S. dollars., if I have a property group for account dimension, how could I display the value of group for all the account number?

Hi
you just use EVPRO like you mentioned:
=EVPRO(Finance,$D20,group)
In the cell $D20 your account number is displayed. You copy this function down for each account.
-> just create an input schedule or report from a template, open the configuration panel. There you see this principle used for property High Level, Calc, ...
D
this method is perfect but you need to add the formula each time.
I would prefer to use the formula using the after or before range in expansion options of evdre which would make it dynamic and you need not copy paste the formula to derive the property each time.
Cheers
Thanks and Regards

Delete and restore scheduling of reports

Hi
I have BO 4.0 installed on Linux Platform
Is there any way i can
1) Backup all the scheduling information for all my reports
2) Restore only few of them at a time
All i want to achieve is as we are migrating from 3.1 to 4.0 we want to schedule only few reports at a time like 50 reports per day

Even, I've faced this issue in my env.
I did the following and it got fixed automatically, try it out and let me know if it works!!
Goto Default settings of that report in CMC
Add the new event to the report and SAVE it. (I know that the old event will not be there but if it present, please delete it and add the new event or some test event)
Goto Schedule and create some dummy schedule to check check whether the report runs properly without any issues. (In my case, I tried scheduling the report for "Daily" @ 9 AM.)
Open the recurring instance details and see if the new event detail is reflecting in the event dependency.
Make sure that the event which you have fixed is getting successful.
Validate the 9 AM instance which you have scheduled to verify whether it completes successfully.
Regards
Vijay

How to reduce the size of Input Schedule (Excel Template)

Hi,
I am preparing Static Input Schedule (Due to complexity, I am unable to use EvDRE). Due to many EvSND's and Formulas used in the template, the file size is almost more than 10 MB.
So it takes a lot of time while opening the template. So is there any way to reduce the size of the excel file (Input Schedule template).

Here are some suggestions on ways to reduce the size of your static input template, which sounds to be rather large. Please note that these suggestions are not in any order with regards to being the most effective in reducing the template, but overall should help in reducing the size.
- Make the EvSNDS as dynamic as possible. Even though it is a static template, try not to use an EvSND formula which contains a reference to each dimension you are loading to. I'm not sure how many dimensions you have in you application, but if you are referencing 12 dimensions in each EvSND, and you have thousands of EvSNDS, that takes alot of size. So, if you are doing this, see if there is any commonality with any dimension with the input schedule and hardcode that dimension's member in the control panel. For example, if all the evsnds are going to the same Category (i.e. BUDGET), you do not need to reference the cell with memberid BUDGET in each evsnd cell, but instead be sure it is set in the Control Panel of the Template correctly.
- Only have base level members in the input template. Many input templates are built so that after the data is sent, the summary level (or parent level members), are retrieved in the template so users can see summarized results after a send. If possible, build the report with base level members only, and build a report to view summarized report.
- Keep the number of Woksheets in the template to a minimum.
- Make the layout of the report as simple as possible. Try to keep the Conditional Formatting to a minimum.
- With regards to the formulas in the template which you mention, I'm not sure if you are referring to Excel calculation formulas, or something else, however you do want to keep the use of formulas to a minimum.
I hope this information helps.

Scheduled WEBI reports based on File Events not retrieving data

Dear All,
We are facing performance related issues with Scheduled WEBI reports based on file based events.
When running Web Intelligence on demand it takes 4to 5 Minutes.
Scheduling the same report in Excel format it takes more than 20 minutes.Schedule status showing success but no data found in Excel instance.
Env:BOXI3.1 Sp3
Windows 2003
It woud be great if any one can share your ideas.
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Is your report has prompts?
if you have prompts , make sure that you assigned prompts in the schedule also.
Hope you have multiple webi processing servers and adpative job servers for better scheduling performance.
Try below solution .
On the BusinessObjects Enterprise server, navigate to the folder <install root>\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_X86\dataAccess\connectionServer
Open the file cs.config in a text editor such as Notepad
Search the file contents for the string "Traces Active"
Modify the line from <Traces Active="Yes"> to <Traces Active="No">
Save the cs.config file
Restart the Web Intelligence Processing Server

Payroll - performance testing

We are gearing up for performance testing for active pay and I have a few questions in this regard. What are the most expensive, load bearing programs and transactions that need to be thoroughly performance tested? What is the best way to test performance for an active pay implementation (should tools be used or should users be used to generate load)?
Does anyone have a project plan for active pay performance testing that they are willing to share?

Hello Viviana,
So far in my implementation we have done payroll and time runs for the whole group.
Based on the business:
1. You can prioritize the most common or recurring scenarios. Basically create a test script for every scenario based on the configuration performed.
2. You can also talk to business SME's to find out several scenarios based on their past experience regarding complex payroll calculation, time data processing or any retro scenarios.
3. Once you get the detail outline then setup employees for those test. You can run payroll for the whole group but on parallel validation side, you will still use the same PERNR group you have setup and do the compare.
4. Later on, you can finish postings, TPR and all other subsequent steps for the whole group.
I am insisting on the whole group just to be on safer side.
Perform same study for Off cycle payroll and retro active accounting scenario.
Hope this helps.

Planning and Reports Server

We are beggining the purchasing process for planning. We will have 235 liscened users for planning. So I am starting to look at hardware, not my strong suit. I have 50K, so I plan to get a quad with as much space as possible, typically do I need seperate boxes for the two products? I also have two fairly robust duals currently in production, one for essbase, one for analyzer. Would I be able to integreate reports into the analyzer server?? Also do most people have test environments for planning and reports??? thanks in advance..

Actually, we are running Analyzer and Essbase on the same server and reports on a seperate server. I inherited the Essbase/Analyzer configuration and since it is working well, I'm not looking to mess with it. Reports worked out well because we had just decommissioned a server that was running SpiderMan (Hyperion Enterprise Web tool) when we took Spiderman down, it freed up a perfectly good server which was already configured for Internet access. The install of reports was smoother than we could have hoped for.oh, and we do not have planning..Still using Pillar.
