Performance tuning queries/stored proc

Hi,
What are the key columns to be considered in improving d performance of the query/sp.
v can get d info by using explain plan and v$session.
What is Hash value
Thanks,
Naren

Hi,
When you write any query ,
1) check for its cost so that the it does not raise any performance issues.
2) Also check whether the required columns are indexed.
3) donot use to_char or to_num in unnecessary places.
4) also UPPER(TRIM()) should be used only when there are chances for receiign a value in either upper or lower.
5) If you have joins in ur query check whether the required primary key foreign key relation are euqated properly.
If you have n joins then n-1 where clause should be available.

V.S

Should I do this with Java Code or Stored Procs ? (for best performance)

Hi All,
I need to decide where should I implement my business logic, in Java code or Stored procs.
Here is the requirement :
- One Order has 70 products (Order_Table )
- Can be duplicate products, so I have to do summarize / grouping by product
- For every product, I have to check, if it is entitled for a Bonus product, then I have to Insert one to Bonus_Table.
- This is done when/after the transaction is SAVED (COMMIT)
The question is, which one has better PERFORMANCE :
(1) Create a rowsetIterator on the Order details (70 products) and call a stored procedure to do the logic for every single product (so that the Insert to Bonus_Table done in stored proc). means the stored proc will be called 70 times.
OR
(2) After the transaction is COMMITted, call the stored procs ONCE to do the logic for all the products at once.
OR
(3) I do all the logic with Java Code within ADF
Given the requirement above, which approach is most efficient / best performance ?
Thank you very much,
xtanto

Problem with this is that you ask 100 people and you probably get 100 different answers. ;o)
Many would say that you push as much business logic into the database with your data; others might say you only put data in your database and your business logic is kept on the application server.
In reality your would probably have a mix of both and your decision would probably be influenced by your own background ...
Can't be more precise than that.

Writing a Stored Proc which will execute the Queries passed to it as args

Hi,
I need to write a Stored Proc which gets the Query to be executed as an Argument and return the results in an OUT Variable.
The Stored Proc i wrote is
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SP_FETCH_RESULTS(l_query in varchar2,
l_returnValue out clob )
is
l_output utl_file.file_type;
l_theCursor integer ;
l_columnValue clob;
l_status integer;
l_results      clob;
begin
l_theCursor := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
-- Parse the Query
dbms_sql.parse( l_theCursor, ':x', dbms_sql.native );
DBMS_SQL.BIND_VARIABLE(l_theCursor, ':x', l_query);
-- Define the coulmnValue Variables
dbms_sql.define_column( l_theCursor, 1, l_columnValue);
-- Execute the Query
l_status := dbms_sql.execute(l_theCursor);
-- Get the Results and prepare the return Value.
loop
exit when ( dbms_sql.fetch_rows(l_theCursor) <= 0 );
dbms_sql.column_value( l_theCursor, 1, l_columnValue );
     DBMS_LOB.APPEND(l_returnValue, l_columnValue);
end loop;
-- Close the Cursor
dbms_sql.close_cursor(l_theCursor);
end SP_FETCH_RESULTS;
As the Queries paased to it always return CLOB Types i declared the OUT Variable as CLOB
And when i try to execute is using the below given PL/SQL Block
DECLARE
l_Query CLOB ;
l_retVal CLOB;
l_results CLOB;
BEGIN
l_Query:='SELECT extract(object_value,''/AC'').getStringVal() into l_results from CommonAssetCatalog';
SP_FETCH_RESULTS(l_Query,l_retVal);
dbms_output.put_line ('Results =');
END;
I am getting the Error.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement

Could you guys pls give me some inputs on how to resolve this..
Thanks a lot

Hi James,
I tried with out the Bind Variable and got the Same Error..
The Code which i tried earlier is
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SP_FETCH_RESULTS(l_query in varchar2,
l_returnValue out clob )
is
l_output utl_file.file_type;
l_theCursor integer ;
l_columnValue clob;
l_status integer;
l_results      clob;
begin
l_theCursor := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
-- Parse the Query
dbms_sql.parse( l_theCursor, l_query, dbms_sql.native );
--DBMS_SQL.BIND_VARIABLE(l_theCursor, ':x', l_query);
-- Define the coulmnValue Variables
dbms_sql.define_column( l_theCursor, 1, l_columnValue);
-- Execute the Query
l_status := dbms_sql.execute(l_theCursor);
-- Get the Results and prepare the return Value.
loop
exit when ( dbms_sql.fetch_rows(l_theCursor) <= 0 );
dbms_sql.column_value( l_theCursor, 1, l_columnValue );
     DBMS_LOB.APPEND(l_returnValue, l_columnValue);
end loop;
-- Close the Cursor
dbms_sql.close_cursor(l_theCursor);
end SP_FETCH_RESULTS;
and the Procedure got Compiled Successfully and when i ran the PL/SQL Block which calls the Above Stored Proc i got the Error
DECLARE

If adding more in-params to the stored proc degrade the performance at all?

Hi All,
I have a stored proc, currently having 18 in-params and i have to add 4 new in-params. I just want to know, if there will be any performance degradation or not?
Thanks & Regards

Billy,
How can i deviate from the SW engr. concepts? I'm not from Mars. I just want to know, if there will be any perf. degradation, what is the cause behind that? What are the technical events occured inside the pl/sql compiler that degrades the performance.

Sql server 2000 stored procs vs. prepared statements performance

Hi
I have observed that using stored procedure in sql server 2000 is much much faster than using a prepared statements. I had worked with oracle before and did not notice this much difference. I would like to use prepared statements or regular sql (for dynamic sql creation) in my apps. Does anyone have any suggestions ?.
thanks

Hi
FYI
I figured out the slowness problem in using prepared statement (db - sql server 2000)was due to the Microsoft typ4 4 jdbc driver. When I used the jdbc driver from atinav, my prepared statements worked as fast as stored procs.

No speed advantage using stored procs

I'm using Oracle 9i from .NET using ODBC and have done some speed tests using regular SQL and then a stored proc (which contains the same SQL). Both execute in an average speed (n = 10) of about 1.43 seconds but every once in a while the stored proc chokes slightly and spits out a 1.97. The SQL is fairly complex (two sub-queries and several joins). I thought putting my SQL into a stored proc was supposed to offer me a speed advantage?

Putting a single SQL statement into a stored procedure probably isn't going to do much to improve or degrade performance initially. Oracle still has to parse the statement when it is first executed, for example, regardless of where the statement is coming from. Putting SQL into a stored procedure benefits performance when
1) It forces you to use bind variables correctly
2) It allows you to avoid passing data back to the middle tier and/or client app by encapsulating multiple steps of a process.
3) It allows someone to come along and tune poorly performing SQL without having to search for SQL that is buried in the bowels of different applications.

[ADF-11.1.2] Proof of view performance tuning in oracle adf

Hello,
Take an example of : http://www.gebs.ro/blog/oracle/adf-view-object-performance-tuning-analysis/
It tells me perfectly how to tune VO to achieve performance, but how to see it working ?
For example: I Set Fetch size of 25, 'in Batch of' set to 1 or 26 I see following SQL Statement in Log
[1028] SELECT Company.COMPANY_ID, Company.CREATED_DATE, Company.CREATED_BY, Company.LAST_MODIFY_DATE, Company.LAST_MODIFY_BY, Company.NAME FROM COMPANY Companyas if it is fetching all the records from table at a time no matter what's the size of Batch. If I am seeing 50 records on UI at a time, then I would expect at least 2 SELECT statement fetching 26 records by each statement if I set Batch Size to 26... OR at least 50 SELECT statement for Batch size set to '1'.
Please tell me how to see view performance tuning working ? How one can say that setting batch size = '1' is bad for performance?

Anandsagar,
why don't you just read up on http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/core.1111/e10108/adf.htm#CIHHGADG
there are more factors influencing performance than just query. Btw, indexing your queries also helps to tune performance

Performance Tuning in IR

Hello All,
We have created some reports using Interactive Reporting Studio. The volume of data in that Oracle database are huge and in some tables of the relational database are having above 3-4 crores rows individually. We have created the .oce connection file using the 'Oracle Net' option. Oracle client ver is 10g. We earlier created pivot, chart and report in those .bqy files but had to delete those where-ever possible to decrease the processing time for getting those report generated.
But deleting those from the file and retaining just the result section (the bare minimum part of the file) even not yet helped us out solving the performance issue fully. Still now, in some reports, system gives error message 'Out of Memory' at the time of processing those reports. The memory of the client PCs,wherefrom the reports are being generated are 1 - 1.5 GB. For some reports, even it takes 1-2 hours for saving the results after process. In some cases, the PCs gets hanged at the time of processing. When we extract the query of those reports in sql and run them in TOAD/SQL PLUS, they take not so much time like IR.
Would you please help us out in the aforesaid issue ASAP? Please share your views/tips/suggestions etc in respect of performance tuning for IR. All reply would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Raj

SQL + & Toad are tools that send SQL and spool results; IR is a tool that sends a request to the database to run SQL and then fiddles with the results before the user is even told data has been received. You need to minimize the time spent by IR manipulating results into objects the user isn't even asking for.
When a request is made to the database, Hyperion will wait until all of the results have been received. Once ALL of the results have been received, then IR will make multiple passes to apply sorts, filters and computed items existing in the results section. For some unknown reason, those three steps are performed more inefficiently then they would be performed in a table section. Only after all of the computed items have been calculated, all filters applied and all sorts sorted, then IR will start to calculate any reports, charts and pivots. After all that is done, the report stops processing and the data has been "returned"
To increase performance, you need to fine tune your IR Services and your BQY docs. Replicate your DAS on your server - it can only transfer 2g before it dies, restarts and your requested document hangs. You can replicated the DAS multiple times and should do so to make sure there are enough resources available for any concurrent users to make necessary requests and have data delivered to them.
To tune your bqy documents...
1) Your Results section MUST be free of any sorts, filters, or computed items. Create a staging table and put any sorts or local filters there. Move as many of your computed items to your database request line and ask the database to make the calculation (either directly or through stored procedures) so you are not at the mercy of the client machine. Any computed items that cannot be moved to the request line, need to be put on your new staging table.
2) Ask the users to choose filters. Programmatically build dynamic filters based on what the user is looking for. The goal is to cast a net only as big as the user needs so you are not bringing back unnecessary data. Otherwise, you will bring your server and client machines to a grinding halt.
3) Halt any report pagination. Built your reports from their own tables and put a dummy filter on the table that forces 0 rows in the table until the report is invoked. Hyperion will paginate every report BEFORE it even tells the user it has results so this will prevent the user from waiting an hour while 1000s of pages are paginated across multiple reports
4) Halt any object rendering until request. Same as above - create a system programmically for the user to tell the bqy what they want so they are not waiting forever for a pivot and 2 reports to compile and paginate when they want just a chart.
5) Saved compressed documents
6) Unless this document can be run as a job, there should be NO results stored with the document but if you do save results with the document, store the calculations too so you at least don't have to wait for them to pass again.
7) Remove all duplicate images and keep the image file size small.
Hope this helps!
PS: I forgot to mention - aside from results sections, in documents where the results are NOT saved, additional table sections take up very, very, very small bits of file size and, as long as there are not excessively larger images the same is true for Reports, Pivots and Charts. Additionally, the impact of file size only matters when the user is requesting the document. The file size is never an issue when the user is processing the report because it has already been delivered to them and cached (in workspace and in the web client)

Best approach to return Large data ( 4K) from Stored Proc

We have a stored proc (Oracle 8i) that:
1) receives some parameters.
2)performs computations which create a large block of data
3) return this data to caller.
compatible with both ASP (using MSDAORA.Oracle), and ColdFusion (using Oracle ODBC driver). This procedure is critical in terms of performance.
I have written this procedure as having an OUT param which is a REF CURSOR to a record containing a LONG. In order to make this work, at the end of the procedure I have to store the working buffer (an internal LONG variable) into a temp table, and then open the cursor as a SELECT from the temp table.
I have tried to open the cursor as a SELECT of the working buffer (from dual) but I get the error "ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested"
I suspect this is taking too much time; any tips about the best approach here? is there a resource with REAL examples on returning large data?
If I switch to CLOB, will it speed the process, be compatible with callers, etc ? all references to CLOB I saw use trivial examples.
Thanks for any help,
Yoram Ayalon

Can't execute OS-level command from java stored proc

I've written a couple simple java stored procs, the first of which writes an file and the second attempts a chown on it. I can write the file (which is written as the oracle user) just fine. I need to chown it, but can't. Here's the first proc:
public static String writefile()
String fileName = "/joetest/test.xml";
try {
File f = new File(fileName);
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(f);
PrintStream p = new PrintStream(out);
p.println("this is only a test");
p.close();
return "create file successful!!!";
} catch (Exception e) {
return "Exception occurred writing file:"+e;
Here's the proc I've been stuggling with:
public static String chown(String inString)
String[] command = {"/bin/sh", "-c", "/usr/bin/chown notjoe /joetest/test.xml"};
if (inString != null) {
command[2] = inString;
try {
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
return "Ownership change success!! "+p;
} catch (Exception e) {
return "Ownership change failure?? err="+e;
The package is created with:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE JOE.THISISATEST AS
FUNCTION writefile
return VARCHAR2
AS
LANGUAGE java
NAME 'thisisatest.writefile() return java.lang.String';
FUNCTION chown(Param1 VARCHAR2)
return VARCHAR2
AS
LANGUAGE java
NAME 'thisisatest.chown(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
end;
And I've granted the following privileges:
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'java.io.FilePermission', '/joetest/test.xml', 'read, write, execute, delete');
end;
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'java.io.FilePermission', '/usr/bin/chown', 'execute');
end;
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');
end;
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '');
end;
Here's the error that I'm getting:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Coincidentally, this is the same error that I used to get when I wrote the file without having been granted write privileges. Once I granted myself the proper 'write' permissions I could perform file IO just fine. Is there some runtime permission that I need to grant myself to run chown? I'm just guessing, as I can't find any permission like that in the java documentation. I have 'execute' permission on /usr/bin/chown and the oracle user can execute the command I'm attempting from the command line. ARRRRRGH.
I am at my wits end with this. I've tried what seems like a thousand different syntaxes for the OS command and ran it from many different directories. Anyone have any thoughts at all as to why this is happening? I'm just clutching at straws now...

Hmmmm. Granting 'execute' on '<<ALL FILES>>' to user JOE fixes this problem:
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'execute');
end;
My security folks will not allow this when I port to production, but at least it is something.

Problem Obtaining multiple results from MySql Stored Proc via JDBC

I've spent alot of time on this and I'd be really grateful for anyones help please!
I have written a java class to execute a MySQL stored procedure that does an UPDATE and then a SELECT. I want to handle the resultset from the SELECT AND get a count of the number of rows updated by the UPDATE. Even though several rows get updated by the stored proc, getUpdateCount() returns zero.
It's like following the UPDATE with a SELECT causes the updatecount info to be lost. I tried it in reverse: SELECT first and UPDATE last and it works properly. I can get the resultset and the updatecount.
My Stored Procedure:
delimiter $$ CREATE PROCEDURE multiRS( IN drugId int, IN drugPrice decimal(8,2) ) BEGIN UPDATE drugs SET DRUG_PRICE = drugPrice WHERE DRUG_ID > drugId; SELECT DRUG_ID, DRUG_NAME, DRUG_PRICE FROM Drugs where DRUG_ID > 7 ORDER BY DRUG_ID ASC; END $$
In my program (below) callablestatement.execute() returns TRUE even though the first thing I do in my stored proc is an UPDATE not a SELECT. Is this at odds with the JDBC 2 API? Shouldn't it return false since the first "result" returned is NOT a resultset but an updatecount? Does JDBC return any resultsets first by default, even if INSERTS, UPDATES happened in the stored proc before the SELECTs??
Excerpt of my Java Class:
// Create CallableStatement CallableStatement cs = con.prepareCall("CALL multiRS(?,?)"); // Register input parameters ........ // Execute the Stored Proc boolean getResultSetNow = cs.execute(); int updateCount = -1; System.out.println("getResultSetNow: " +getResultSetNow); while (true) { if (getResultSetNow) { ResultSet rs = cs.getResultSet(); while (rs.next()) { // fully process result set before calling getMoreResults() again! System.out.println(rs.getInt("DRUG_ID") +", "+rs.getString("DRUG_NAME") +", "+rs.getBigDecimal("DRUG_PRICE")); } rs.close(); } else { updateCount = cs.getUpdateCount(); if (updateCount != -1) { // it's a valid update count System.out.println("Reporting an update count of " +updateCount); } } if ((!getResultSetNow) && (updateCount == -1)) break; // done with loop, finished all the returns getResultSetNow = cs.getMoreResults(); }
The output of running the program at command line:
getResultSetNow: true 28, Apple, 127.00 35, Orange, 127.00 36, Bananna, 127.00 37, Berry, 127.00 Reporting an update count of 0
During my testing I have noticed:
1. According to the Java documentation execute() returns true if the first result is a ResultSet object; false if the first result is an update count or there is no result. In my java class callablestatement.execute() will return TRUE if in the stored proc the UPDATE is done first and then the SELECT last or vica versa.
2. My java class (above) is coded to loop through all results returned from the stored proc in succession. Running this class shows that any resultsets are returned first and then update counts last regardless of the order in which they appear in the stored proc. Maybe there is nothing unusual here, it may be that Java is designed to return any Resultsets first by default even if they didn't happen first in the stored procedure?
3. In my stored procedure, if the UPDATE happens last then callablestatement.getUpdateCount() will return the correct number of updated rows.
4. If the UPDATE is followed by a SELECT (see above) then callablestatement.getUpdateCount() will return ZERO even though rows were updated.
5. I tested it with the stored proc doing SELECT - UPDATE - SELECT and again getUpdateCount() returns ZERO.
6. I tested it with the stored proc doing SELECT - UPDATE - SELECT - UPDATE and this time getUpdateCount() returns the number rows updated by the last UPDATE and not the first.
My Setup:
Mac OS X 10.3.9
Java 1.4.2
mysql database 5.0.19
mysql-connector 5.1.10 (connector/J)
Maybe I have exposed a bug in JDBC?
Thanks for your help.

I certainly don't mean to be rude but I often get taken that way. I like to state facts as I see them. I'd love to be proved wrong because then I would understand why my code doesn't work!
Doesn't matter to me if you are rude or not. Rudeness actually makes it more entertaining for me so that is a plus. Nothing I have seen suggests rudeness.
In response to your post:
When a MySql stored procedure has multiple sql statements such as SELECT and UPDATE these statements each produce what the Java API documentation refers to as 'results'. A Java class can cycle through these 'results' using callableStatement dot getMoreResults(), getResultSet() and getUpdateCount() to retrieve the resultset object produced by Select queries and updateCount produced by Inserts, Deletes and Updates.
As I read your question it seems to me that you have already proven that it does not in fact do that?
You don't have to read this but in case you think I'm mistaken, there is more detail in the following website under the heading 'Using the Method execute':
http://docsrv.sco.com/JDK_guide/jdbc/getstart/statement.doc.html#1000107
Sounds reasonable. But does not your example code prove that this is not what happens for the database and driver that you are using?
Myself I dont trust update counts at all since, in my experience some databases do not return them. And per other reports sometimes they don't return the correct value either.
So there are two possibilities - your code is wrong or the driver/database does not do it. For me I would also question whether in the future the driver/database would continue to behave the same if you did find some special way to write your SQL so it does do it. And of course you would also need to insure that every proc that needed this would be written in this special way. Hopefully not too many of those.
So this functionality is built into java but is not in common use amongst programmers. My java class did successfully execute a stored proc which Selected from and then finally Updated a table. My code displayed the contents of the Select query and told me how many rows were affected by the update.
It isn't "built into java". It isn't built into jdbc either. If it works at all then the driver and by proxy the database are responsible for it. I suspect that you would be hard pressed to find anything in the JDBC spec that requires what that particular link claims. I believe it is difficult to find anything that suggests that update counts in any form are required.
So you are left with hoping that a particular driver does do it.
I suppose it is rare that you would want to do things this way. Returning rowcounts in OUT parameters would be easier but I want my code to be modular enough to cover the situation where a statement may return more than one ResultSet object, more than one update count, or a combination of ResultSet objects and update counts. The sql may need to be generated dynamically, its statements may be unknown at compile time. For instance a user might have a form that allows them to build their own queries...
Any time I see statements like that it usually makes me a bit uncomfortable. If I am creating data layers I either use an existing framework or I generate the code. For the latter there is no generalization of the usage. Every single operation is laid out in its own code.
And I have in fact created generalized frameworks in the past before. I won't do it again. Benefits of the other idioms during maintenance are too obvious.

Using Statement rather than CallableStatement for stored proc execution

Cleary, if you need to extract output parameters from a stored procedure, then you must use a CallableStatement to execute it. However, if your stored procedure just returns a basic ResultSet, or performs a database update, is there any penalty to using a regular Statement to execute the stored procedure?
For example -
String sql = "exec testprocedure 'param1' 'param2'";
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery( sql );
vs.
CallableStatement cs = conn.prepareCall( "{call testprocedure(?,?)}" );
cs.setString( 1, "param1" );
cs.setString( 2, "param2" );
ResultSet rs = cs.executeQuery();
Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?You would have to look at the actual driver code for a sure answer.
But for any real database (which a stored proc suggests) I doubt there would be any difference at all. It would resolve to the same call.

Performance Tuning 10g

Hi All,
I had given a task to tune oracle 10g database. I am really new in memory tuning although I had some SQL Tuning earlier. My server is in remote location and I can not login to Enterprise Manager GUI. I will be using SQL Developer or PL/SQL Developer for this. My application is web based application.
I have following queries with this respect:
- How should I start... Should I use tkprof or AWR.
- How to enable these tools.
- How to view its reports
- What should I check in these reports
- Will just increasing RAM improves performance or should we also increase Hard Disk?
- What is CPU Cost and I/O?
Please help.
Thanks & Regards.

Thanks & Regards.Here is something you might try as a starting point:
Capture the output of the following (to a table, send to Excel, or spool to a file):
SELECT
STAT_NAME,
VALUE
FROM
V$OSSTAT
ORDER BY
STAT_NAME;
SELECT
STAT_NAME,
VALUE
FROM
V$SYS_TIME_MODEL
ORDER BY
STAT_NAME;
SELECT
EVENT,
TOTAL_WAITS,
TOTAL_TIMEOUTS,
TIME_WAITED
FROM
V$SYSTEM_EVENT
WHERE
WAIT_CLASS != 'Idle'
ORDER BY
EVENT;Wait a known amount of time (5 minutes or 10 minutes)
Execute the above SQL statements again.
Subtract the starting values from the ending values, and post the results for any items where the difference is greater than 0. The Performance Tuning Guide (especially the 11g version) will help you understand what each item means.
To repeat what Ed stated, do not randomly change parameters (even if someone claims that they have successfully made the parameter change 100s of times).
You could also try a Statspack report, but it might be better to start with something which produces less than 70 pages of output.

Reg: Process Chain, query performance tuning steps

Hi All,
I come across a question like, There is a process chain of 20 processes.out of which 5 processes are completed at the 6th step error occured and it cannot be rectified. I should start the chain again from the 7th step.If i go to a prticular step i can do that particular step, How can i start the entair chain again from step 7.i know that i need to use a function module but i dont know the name of FM. Please somebody help me out.
Please let me know the steps involved in query performance tuning and aggregate tuning.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
Process Chain
Method 1 (when it fails in a step/request)
/people/siegfried.szameitat/blog/2006/02/26/restarting-processchains
How is it possible to restart a process chain at a failed step/request?
Sometimes, it doesn't help to just set a request to green status in order to run the process chain from that step on to the end.
You need to set the failed request/step to green in the database as well as you need to raise the event that will force the process chain to run to the end from the next request/step on.
Therefore you need to open the messages of a failed step by right clicking on it and selecting 'display messages'.
In the opened popup click on the tab 'Chain'.
In a parallel session goto transaction se16 for table rspcprocesslog and display the entries with the following selections:
1. copy the variant from the popup to the variante of table rspcprocesslog
2. copy the instance from the popup to the instance of table rspcprocesslog
3. copy the start date from the popup to the batchdate of table rspcprocesslog
Press F8 to display the entries of table rspcprocesslog.
Now open another session and goto transaction se37. Enter RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH as the name of the function module and run the fm in test mode.
Now copy the entries of table rspcprocesslog to the input parameters of the function module like described as follows:
1. rspcprocesslog-log_id -> i_logid
2. rspcprocesslog-type -> i_type
3. rspcprocesslog-variante -> i_variant
4. rspcprocesslog-instance -> i_instance
5. enter 'G' for parameter i_state (sets the status to green).
Now press F8 to run the fm.
Now the actual process will be set to green and the following process in the chain will be started and the chain can run to the end.
Of course you can also set the state of a specific step in the chain to any other possible value like 'R' = ended with errors, 'F' = finished, 'X' = cancelled ....
Check out the value help on field rspcprocesslog-state in transaction se16 for the possible values.
Query performance tuning
General tips
Using aggregates and compression.
Using less and complex cell definitions if possible.
1. Avoid using too many nav. attr
2. Avoid RKF and CKF
3. Many chars in row.
By using T-codes ST03 or ST03N
Go to transaction ST03 > switch to expert mode > from left side menu > and there in system load history and distribution for a particual day > check query execution time.

/people/andreas.vogel/blog/2007/03/16/how-to-read-st03n-datasets-from-db
Try table rsddstats to get the statistics
Using cache memoery will decrease the loading time of the report.
Run reporting agent at night and sending results to email.This will ensure use of OLAP cache. So later report execution will retrieve the result faster from the OLAP cache.
Also try
1. Use different parameters in ST03 to see the two important parameters aggregation ratio and records transferred to F/E to DB selected.
2. Use the program SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS (Performance of BW infocubes) to see the aggregation ratio for the cube. If the cube does not appear in the list of this report, try to run RSRV checks on the cube and aggregates.
Go to SE38 > Run the program SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS
It will shown dimension Vs Fact tables Size in percent.If you mean speed of queries on a cube as performance metric of cube,measure query runtime.
3. --- sign is the valuation of the aggregate. You can say -3 is the valuation of the aggregate design and usage. ++ means that its compression is good and access is also more (in effect, performance is good). If you check its compression ratio, it must be good. -- means the compression ratio is not so good and access is also not so good (performance is not so good).The more is the positives...more is useful the aggregate and more it satisfies the number of queries. The greater the number of minus signs, the worse the evaluation of the aggregate. The larger the number of plus signs, the better the evaluation of the aggregate.
if "-----" then it means it just an overhead. Aggregate can potentially be deleted and "+++++" means Aggregate is potentially very useful.

4. Run your query in RSRT and run the query in the debug mode. Select "Display Aggregates Found" and "Do not use cache" in the debug mode. This will tell you if it hit any aggregates while running. If it does not show any aggregates, you might want to redesign your aggregates for the query.
Also your query performance can depend upon criteria and since you have given selection only on one infoprovider...just check if you are selecting huge amount of data in the report
Check for the query read mode in RSRT.(whether its A,X or H)..advisable read mode is X.
5. In BI 7 statistics need to be activated for ST03 and BI admin cockpit to work.
By implementing BW Statistics Business Content - you need to install, feed data and through ready made reports which for analysis.

You can go to T-Code DB20 which gives you all the performance related information like
Partitions
Databases
Schemas
Buffer Pools
Tablespaces etc
use tool RSDDK_CHECK_AGGREGATE in se38 to check for the corrupt aggregates
If aggregates contain incorrect data, you must regenerate them.
Note 646402 - Programs for checking aggregates (as of BW 3.0B SP15)

Steps for performance Tuning....!!!!

Hi all,
I need your help in Performance tuning.
While we do tuning in Oracle, apart from Indexes, where clause and order by clause, what are the other points we need to check. I mean explain plan etc...
I am working as Informatica Developer, but i need to make an documents which points out what are the step we can check while doing performance tuning on SQL queries.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
have a look into these link.it may helpful to you.
