Performance tuning query.

hello everyone,
pls clarify my doubts regarding the oracle sql tuning.
I got a report which runs for 15 mins, i made the report to be run in 1.30 min in the test instance.
in that i made 2 queries which runs for 25 sec and 27 secs and i made it into a single query and ran in 6 secs.
data
then i came to a fact called COST. the cost is too high in my query nearly 73k. So this query is cant even run in real instance in my office.
I heard the reason is COST. Is it so?
I also the referred that COST is time taken for reading a table. (lik 10ms is a default for a single block read so on....)
if COST is the time, then how my query runs in 6 secs even though the COST is 73k?
Then
I reduced the cost in my query by the use of indexes which are already present in that column.
What if i want to fetch some other column which don't have index and which i should not create index?
In that time Does COST matters? bcz the query runs in milliseconds but the cost is 1600.
What is behind the COST? some says dont consider COST(but my COST is 73K), some says COST is time(but my time is 6sec), Some says COST is resource utilised by database (dats y its taking much time)...
Pls clearify..

I heard the reason is COST. Is it so? I would invite whoever told you that to the largest set of stairs you can find and push them down it. If they seriously decide whether queries can run or not based on the cost they should be deleted.

Pls clearify..The cost is a calculation. It is comprised of a number of different metrics but utlimately it is something the database used internally to decide which exectuion plan it is going to use to execute a specific query. The costs between 2 different queryies aren't really comparable (there are specific circumstances where 2 different queries can be rewritten behind the scenes to result in the same execution plan, but that's a whole different kettle of fish).
The bottom line is that you should not use cost to tune a query - if someone tells you that you should, hit them with something non lethal but painful.

Performance Tuning Query on Large Tables

Hi All,
I am new to the forums and have a very specic use case which requires performance tuning, but there are some limitations on what changes I am actualy able to make to the underlying data. Essentially I have two tables which contain what should be identical data, but for reasons of a less than optimal operational nature, the datasets are different in a number of ways.
Essentially I am querying call record detail data. Table 1 (refered to in my test code as TIME_TEST) is what I want to consider the master data, or the "ultimate truth" if you will. Table one contains the CALLED_NUMBER which is always in a consistent format. It also contains the CALLED_DATE_TIME and DURATION (in seconds).
Table 2 (TIME_TEST_COMPARE) is a reconciliation table taken from a different source but there is no consistent unique identifiers or PK-FK relations. This table contains a wide array of differing CALLED_NUMBER formats, hugely different to that in the master table. There is also scope that the time stamp may be out by up to 30 seconds, crazy I know, but that's just the way it is and I have no control over the source of this data. Finally the duration (in seconds) can be out by up to 5 seconds +/-.
I want to create a join returning all of the master data and matching the master table to the reconciliation table on CALLED_NUMBER / CALL_DATE_TIME / DURATION. I have written the query which works from a logi perspective but it performs very badly (master table = 200,000 records, rec table = 6,000,000+ records). I am able to add partitions (currently the tables are partitioned by month of CALL_DATE_TIME) and can also apply indexes. I cannot make any changes at this time to the ETL process loading the data into these tables.
I paste below the create table and insert scripts to recreate my scenario & the query that I am using. Any practical suggestions for query / table optimisation would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Mike

Performance Tuning : Query session

Dear Friends,
I am working with Hyperion Interactive reporting and I am very new to this environment, I am having a query session with 11 tables all are simple joins. when ever I am processing the query it talks long time to fetch the data ofcourse it has milions of records, do you have any idea how do I reduce query processing time. or else please tell me what are things I need to do and what are things I need not do. any query performance tips in brio.
Best Regards,
S.Murugan

Query Performance is based on a variety of factors.
- Network speed
- size of dataset returning -- Are you really bringing back 1 million rows?
- properly tuned database -- Capture the SQL and have DBA review it
- proper created query - correct order of tables for the FROM clause -- This is based on order they were brought into the data model section

Performance tuning in Query

Dear All,
My client wants to do the performance tuning in a query where it has the Global structure of 300 CKF & 300 RKF.
They dont want to touch the MP, all they want to do some performance tuning through the front end without touching the Multiprovider.
The CKF is little bit tricky where in Each CKF has 28 RKF and In each RKF atleast 2 variables are used an with hierarchy restrictions. The query is taking 30 - 40 min to execute. Kindly guide me how to handle this.
Regards,
Suman Thangadurai.

HI,
Improving query performance u2013
-     Generate index.
-     Build query on multiprovider and better use Constant Selection Function to bring infoset functionality to Multiprovider.
-     Make your query more dynamic using variables.
-     Do partitioning on IC when you have restriction on 0CALMONTH.
-     Use more free charecterstics.
-     Use include than exclude at Bex level.
-     Utilize Cache mode and Read mode functions.

VAL_FIELD selection to determine RSDRI or MDX query: performance tuning

according to on of the HTG I am working on performance tuning. one of the tip is to try to query base members by using BAS(xxx) in the expension pane of BPC report.
I did so and found an interesting issue in one of the COPA report.
with income statement, when I choose one node gross_profit, saying BAS(GROSS_PROFIT), it generates RSDRI query as I can see in UJSTAT. when I choose its parent, BAS(DIRECT_INCOME), it generates MDX query!
I checked DIRECT_INCOME has three members, GROSS_PROFIT, SGA, REV_OTHER. , none of them has any formulars.
in stead of calling BAS(DIRECT_INCOME), I called BAS(GROSS_PROFIT),BAS(SGA),BAS(REV_OTHER), I got RSDRI query again.
so in smmary,
BAS(PARENT) =>MDX query.
BAS(CHILD1)=>RSDRI query.
BAS(CHILD2)=>RSDRI query.
BAS(CHILD3)=>RSDRI query.
BAS(CHILD1),BAS(CHILD2),BAS(CHILD3)=>RSDRI query
I know VAL_FIELD is SAP reserved name for BPC dimensions. my question is why BAS(PARENT) =>MDX query.?
interestingly I can repeat this behavior in my system. my intention is to always get RSDRI query,
George

Ok - it turns out that Crystal Reports disregards BEx Query variables when put in the Default Values section of the filter selection.
I had mine there and even though CR prompted me for the variables AND the SQL statement it generated had an INCLUDE statement with hose variables I could see by my result set that it still returned everything in the cube as if there was no restriction on Plant for instance.
I should have paid more attention to the Info message I got in the BEx Query Designed. It specifically states that the "Variable located in Default Values will be ignored in the MDX Access".
After moving the variables to the Characteristic Restrictions my report worked as expected. The slow response time is still an issue but at least it's not compounded by trying to retrieve all records in the cube while I'm expecting less than 2k.
Hope this helps someone else

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
Omkar.K

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/2007/04/08/statistical-records-part-4-how-to-read-st03n-datasets-from-db-in-nw2004
/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.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/60/f0fb411e255f24e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
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.

Analysis and Performance tuning of a query

Hi gurus,
We have few reports built on multiprovider (which is containing five basic cubes) whose response time is very slow, so i want to do some analysis to find out why they are runing very slow and also do the performance tuning.
So where do i start and how do i start like is it from Report or multiprovider
if its report or multiprovider please kindly guide me what are the things do i need to look for and how to correct them whether adding something or changing the data design.
i have four reports
1. is runing on three basic cubes
2. is runing on all the five cubes
3.& 4. runing on 2 cubes
so kindly give your inputs
thanks and regards

Performance tuning or Query tuning

Hi,
I am a PL/SQL programmer and I wanna learn Query tuning or performance tuning to extend my knowledge.
Can any one please suggest me where to start? I read somthing RBO and CBO and get into confusion is oracle supports both? which one is better? how to use them...is it differ from version to version like 9i/10g
I appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks and Regards
Mai

Hi,
If you a pl/sql programmer than I shall assume that you don't do much database activity and at the moment , would be upgrading yourself with the database knowledge. I shall suggest in addition to Oracle docs, these books in order to understand Query Tuning.
Effective-Oracle-By-Design
Cost-Based-Oracle-Fundamentals
Practical-Oracle8i
I have found these books as the best ones in the understandng of various very important factors in query tuning and I use these books every day.

Query About performance tuning

Hi Guru's
May be this question is stupid one, but i think this is the forum where every user get details of all there questions.
I want to start learning Performance tuning but not know the path from where to start can anyone suggest me the same.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
performance tuning is a huge area. It involves following skills:
1. Understanding how Oracle stores data (physical structure of tables and indexes) and how it reads and writes it.
2. Understanding how Oracle processes and executes queries
3. Ability to read execution plans (not just scan them for 'red flags')
4. Familiarity is most common wait events, knowing and understanding Oracle Wait Interface and its limitations
5. Ability to understand AWR and ASH data and its limitations
6. Understanding Oracle optimizer and it's inputs, knowing basic formulas for cardinality and selectivity, cardinality feedback tuning
7. Abilty to read trace files (first of all extended SQL trace, 10046, and CBO trace, 10053)
8. Understanding concurrency and read consistency and work Oracle does to maintain them.
This is probably not a complete list. Of course you won't be able to learn everything at once. You can start by reading:
1. The official Oracle Performance Tuning Guide
2. T. Kyte's books on Oracle architecture
3. Milsap's and Holt's book "Optimizing Oracle Performance"
4. J. Lewis "Cost based fundamentals"

Report running for long time & performance tuning

Hi All,
(1). WebI report is running for long time.so what are the steps i need to check for it ?
(2). Can you tell me about performance tuning in BO ?
please help me.....
Thanks
Kumar

(1). WebI report is running for long time.so what are the steps i need to check for it ?
The first step is to see if the problem lies in the query on the data source or in webi itself. Depending on the data source there are different ways to extract the query and try to run it against the database. Which source does your report uses?
(2). Can you tell me about performance tuning in BO ?
I would recommend to start by reading the administrator's guide. There is a section about how to improve performance.

[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)

Need clear steps for doing performance tuning on SQL Server 2008 R2 (DB Engine, Reporting Services and Integration Services)

We have to inverstigate about a reporting solution where things are getting slow (may be material, database design, network matters).
I have red a lot in MSDN and some books about performance tuning on SQL Server 2008 R2 (or other) but frankly, I feel a little lost in all that stuff
I'am looking for practical steps in order to do the tuning. Someone had like a recipe for that : a success story...
My (brain storm) Methodology should follow these steps:
Resource bottlenecks: CPU, memory, and I/O bottlenecks
tempdb bottlenecks
A slow-running user query : Missing indexes, statistics,...
Use performance counters : there are many, can one give us the list of the most important
how to do fine tuning about SQL Server configuration
SSRS, SSIS configuration ?
And do the recommandations.
Thanks

Hello,
There is no clear defined step which can be categorized as step by step to performance tuning.Your first goal is to find out cause or drill down to factor causing slowness of SQL server it can be poorly written query ,missing indexes,outdated stats.RAM crunch
CPU crunch so on and so forth.
I generally refer to below doc for SQL server tuning
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd672789(v=sql.100).aspx
For SSIS tuning i refer below doc.
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/Cc966529#ECAA
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms137622(v=sql.105).aspx
When I face issue i generally look at wait stats ,wait stats give you idea about on what resource query was waiting.

Oracle Performance Tuning

Hi,
Our organization recently also encounter Oracle DB performance issue, whereby I am searching for information for us to going into diagnostic the problem and finding the root cause of this performance problem.
I had read through this old article where I found a number of points being highlighted was a good start for us, and just about this port, we would like to understand what in details of AIX 5.3 and asynch I/O turned-on had to do with Oracle DB performance, unfortunately the URL given in the article (possible due to the twas back in 2006), is no longer valid (http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/lewis_cbo.html), I tried that but the pages being redirected to (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/index.html).
May I know, would you able to provide me the new URL path for the mentiened AIX 5.3 asynch I/O turned-on related information?
Our environment:
1) OS AIX 5.3
2) Oracle DB 10g
(If I have the AWR Report, would it be better possition for you to help us?)
Thank you in advanced.
Best Regards,
KaiLoon Kok

Hi,
performance tuning is a very large argument and the causes of degradation may be many.
There are several consideration that You have to do like:
- which kind of application is running on the DB
- which kind of optimizer is used
- the striping of the data files across the disks
- the dimension of the DB block
- the waits that DB encounters
- many other things like SORT_AREA_SIZE, HASH_AREA_SIZE, etc.
To begin Yr analysis use the utlbstat.sql and utlestat.sql scripts provided in the $ORACLE_HOM/rdbms/admin directory and check the conditions of the DB.
Increasing the SGA, like You've done, may not be the solution, somtimes it may instead decrease the overall performances.
Also check in wich case the DB is slow, ex. executing some particular procedure, excuting a particular query, ....
Try to identify the better the DB and then try to resubmit Yr problem.
Bye Max
