Portal BW Statistics

Hello All
We recently made some config changes to BW settings and undertook a benchmarking exercise so that we could monitor BW query runtime performance before and after the changes. We are including results taken from the Portal Stats (after adding &profiling=X to the reports URL) to evaluate "look and feel" compared to directly using data stored in the stats tables RSDDSTATINFO and RSDDSTATEVDATA.
I'm familiar with how the results work where they point, until looking at some of the details coming through from the Portal stats eg.
88 ms RFC RSBOLAP_BICS_STATISTIC_INFO (10000) = 0.88 ms
1020/31 ms: Application step (12500) = ?
936/63 ms: Process request OO006A_01 (12600) = ?
88 ms for event id 10000 (Remote Call of a Function Module) speaks for itself but I'm unsure how to interpret 1020/31 (is that 1020 or 31 ms) and 936/63 (is that 936 or 63 ms) I'd be grateful if you have any thoughts?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You can even use Activity Data Collector tool. This will generate files on the server and you can use this raw data to analyze what content is being accessed by the users.
Following link would be useful.

Portal AggreSpy Statistics Metics

Hi, I am new to the tool AggreSpy, would anyone be be able to point me to a direction.
I am on portal 9.0.2x with 3 tiers architecture. I separated the infras. and the mid-tier. In the portal mid-tier, I separated the web tier from the provider in two separate ora9ias instances.
AggreSpy is pointing to the web tier default oc4j instance. How can I configure the tool to point the my_oc4j instance and monitor only the information that I want?
1) On (OEM)AggreSpy/Spy appears on my_oc4j instance on OEM default.xml (dms/dms0) But they are not active. How can I enable them to monitor stats. within current instance.
2) On UNIX. How can I run dmstool to monitor information on a separate instances (ora9ias_home) ora9ias2_home). The default monitors ora9ias_home. I want to monitors ora9ias2_home.
Thanks,
E.H

You probably have Show Portlet Timing set on. To turn it off, go to the Global Settings link under the admin tab and uncheck the box under Portlet Timing.

Portal EHP1 response inconsistent, where can I find performance data

Currently we are running NW EP EHP1 on unix. We have noticed that when I log into portal screen and iviews paint really fast and then once in a while the screen paint slows to a crawl.
Where can we check portal permformance statistics for iview connecting back to BW, ECC and SCM.
I have noticed that some of the webgui screens in SCM takes a long time and takes a while to render to the end user.
Anyone have an idea where I can check the stats on EP.
Thanks
Weyland Yutani

Dear Weyland Utani,
The following factors can affect performance in the portal layer:
1. Overhead due to authentication mechanisms and the consequent delay in login
2. Time taken to connect with a back end
3. Resources consumed due to logging
4. Time taken to load home page
5. Design of Java iViews
The following factors can affect performance in the operating system layer:
1. Memory
2. CPU consumption
3. Network bandwidth
4. Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
5. The kernel
In this first step, you can ask the following questions to help you understand the problem:
a) Is the problem related to a single user?
b) Does the problem occur during heavy load conditions?
c) Does the problem occur during specific times of the day or all the time?
d) Does the problem occur only during a specific activity such as accessing a backend
system or a database?
e) Is the problem reproducible?
f) Is the problem simply poor performance or is it also accompanied by incorrect
results?
g) Does the problem occur only during logon?
h) Does the problem occur only during the first use?
i) When did this problem start?
j) Did anything change in the system, operating system, patches, or the application
before or after the problem occurred?
Moreover, you might want to check the size of the log files The log file size should not increase more than 1MB
under load. Also whether any error is being logged because of connectivity issues to any of the backend systems such as
the content management server, database, or the SAP system. Check the Windows Event Log for clues.
On the lighter side, in some cases, poor performance may be due to caching on the browser or improper proxy settings. Clearing the browser cache and accessing the portal again may be of help.
Depending on the severity level set, the log files are created. Following are the different severity levels that can be set in increasing order:
u2022 DEBUG
u2022 PATH
u2022 INFO
u2022 WARNING
u2022 ERROR
u2022 FATAL
For example, if the severity level is set at INFO, the log files include messages at the levels of DEBUG, PATH, and INFO. However, the messages at severity levels WARNING, ERROR, and FATAL are not created. The online log viewer is available in the Visual Administrator as a Log Viewer service.

Portal StyleSheet Usage

We would like to use the Portal styles in our local intranet. We want run the intranet on a separate server but display it embedded within the Portal.
Does anyone have any suggestions on the best approach on how to use the Portal Stylesheets and apply these to the intranet content? Any help appreciated.

Analytics not recording usage statistics

I installed G6 and analytics 1.2. Installation went successfull and sync job updates the database with new communities and users. How ever no portal usage statistics are being recorded on the database.
I created new communities and users, ran the sync job, accessed the communties using the new user / community.
Reviewed the analytics database, no entry for user logins. I ran the sync job again and verified. Still no entries. How and when does the portal usage statistics gets recorded on to the system?
thanks

Our Plumtree Portal G6 and analytics server are installed on the same computer. Analytics does not recording usage statistics, it shows "no data to display". Why? What should I do?
I have installed analytics many times, the same results are "no data to display".
For once, I got analytics data for one day, the day I installed analytics. After that day, nothing. The same problem as Michael Capuano.

How to create a counter using Oracle SQL Developer?

Is there any way to create a counter using Oracle SQL Developer to create the below scenario. Meaning it will recorded down the name of user and ID and time and the date they login.

monthly (statistics displayed by all days in the selected month)
daily (statistics displayed by all hours in the selected day)

How to setup rotation for application.log?

In order to get the Portal Performance Statistics running, we need to retrieve the page views from file application.log in directory <ORAHOME>\j2ee\OC4J_Portal\application-deployments\portal\OC4J_Portal_default_island_1.
This file continues to grow and therefore we want to set up rotation, in order to get one file per day.
We are following note 264373.1 and have read all documents and manuals about logging, but can not figure out how to manage this.
Can anyone help us? We are working with 9.0.4.1.
For Oracle employees: see also tar 4193327.994.

I can't speak for how portal uses the log file, but in general, the way you do it for a deployed J2EE application on OC4J is as follows.
Deploy the application EAR file. Lets say the app is called Test.
In the j2ee/home/application-deployments/Test directory, a file will be created called orion-application.xml.
If you look in this file, you will see an entry which looks like
<log>
<file path="application.log" />
</log>
This defines the log file for this application.
Now if you want to setup log file rotation for this app, edit the orion-application.xml file and firstly, comment out the above.
Note: you can leave the log tag in if you wish, but you'll get double log messages. Remove it if you do this in production and are trying to conserve space ;-).
Then add in the below to setup ODL based logging for this application:
<log>
<odl path="logdir"
max-file-size="1000" max-directory-size="10000" />
</log>
What this does it to tell OC4J to output the log messages using it's ODL format model, to create a directory called logdir (in the current directory) and then to start writing to log files called log.xml in that directory.
The max file size of log.xml is 1000KB, and the max directory size of the new logdir directory will be 10MB.
The ODL logging system will manage the log files in this directory according to these constraints -- when a log file gets bigger than max-file-size it gets archived as logN.xml. When the overall directory size gets bigger than the max-directory-size specified, the oldest log file from the list is removed so that the max directory size is honoured.
I don't think we can specify a rollover period (ie one day) with ODL. I'm pretty sure it's just file size based only.
I think the above should apply to Portal since it runs on OC4J. In which case, you'd change the orion-application.zml in the <ORAHOME>\j2ee\OC4J_Portal\application-deployments\portal directory instead of j2ee/home/application-deployments/<app-name>.
However, I can't speak officially for Portal since I don't work with that product. From a pure OC4J perspective the above holds true and works.

Activity Report - customizations

I want create Activity report for the Portal and to a sepcific iView/Page as well.
How can the report be customized?
Thanks.

Shimon

Hi,
Check this to know abut Activity Reporting which is meant to gather and present information about portal activity.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/46/eb9df91aaf0e65e10000000a155369/frameset.htm
If Portal Activity Report does not fulfill your usecase, then use Activity Data Collector, which is more powerfull but writes all outputs to files.
You can also check the DB Tables WCR_USERSTAT and all WCR* tables to check the datas collected by Portal Activity Report.
create a Portal activity report with aditional data?

SQL Developer refers to an application, not you. You'd get more response on the "SQL And PL/SQL" forum.

BI Statistics cannot be captured in Portal or Query Designer

We're experiencing inconsistent behavior of the BI Statistics capturing mechanism, possibly after our recent upgrade to SAPKW70015. It appears that only queries run via the Bex Analyzer are correctly captured in log tables (RSDDSTAT), whereas queries run via the Portal are not (instead, we get unknown entries with object name RSDRI, rather than query/infoprovider names in the log tables).
We've developed a very sophisticated application to report on BI usage ( top n queries by infoarea, by infoprovider, by CPU, by DB-records, by OLAP-records, all queries used by a user etc) and to find out who is using which query, as well as associated resource consumption, at any given time, in real time.
This bug completely throws us off balance. We can no longer monitor query acitivites on the Portal; nor can we trust the BI statistics we've collected in the last two years. Another BI installation has reported the same problem to SAP. SAP seems to think upgrade to SP17, which could be a major step, will fix the problem. Is there anything we can do in the mean time to fix this problem without having to wait for upgrade to SP17 ? Is there an OSS note on this issue ?
(we have SAP_BW Release 700 SP15; SAP_ABA/SAP_BASIS Release 700 Level 13; SEM-BW Releae 602 Level 1; ST-PI 2005_1_700 level 5; PI_BASIS 2006_1_700 level 2; ST-A/PI 01H_BC0700 level 0)
Suggestions will be very much appreciated.
Henry Hone.

Hi,
If the BW statistics are not recorded for a Web Report, this may be because recording was not activated for at least one query (or its InfoProvider). Depending on the calculation sequence, the BW statistics may also not be written for the other queries. The solution is to activate the BW statistics for all of the Web Report InfoProviders.
Check oss notes
Note 608483 - BW statistics: Reports for Web reports
Note 309955 - BW statistics - Questions, answers and errors
Hope it helps.
Thanks

Portal Url for BI Statistics - Urgent

Hi,
We have BI System and all statistics cubes installed.Can anyone let me know what is the standard URL in portal or where exactly can i find the information about this.
Thanks,
Arvind M

Hi Arvind,
I am not clear what exactly what are you looking for. Default url fro portal server will be
http(s)://<server_name>.domain.com:50000/irj
you need to have a authorized user to user this. Are you planning to host BI reports on Portal, then you need to have content and system admin roles. Check this with your Basis consultant. They will provide you required access.
You need to create a BI system in Portal and then create iview for BI reports.
Check this for further details
Hope this helps.<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3a/10fc3f0ac2c642e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">BI Integration</a>

Statistics on portal

Hi all,
I'm really interested on how can I know the number of times the search functionality in our portal has been used? Is there any standard statistic?
Thanks very much in advanced.
Xavier

Hi Xavier,
I just came across this thread, and I assume that you have solved it meanwhile.
Just for the records, you could add some custom JavaScript to your masthead (or wherever your search bar is located). This way, you can keep track on all search events.
These services are also covered by No-Limits Portal Statistics: [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EP/NoLimitsPortalStatistics|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EP/NoLimitsPortalStatistics]

Portal 10g R2 Statistics

In Portal 9i, I was able to get portal statistics on page views, lists of active users, etc... where would I find this on 10g R2?

Oracle states that "With the move to OracleAS Portal Release 2, and the introduction of OracleAS Web Cache into the portal architecture, the information in these tables became inaccurate. Therefore, all the pre-built reporting and charting portlets were removed from Portal." which is a major disappointment when they offer no drop-in... I've opted not to use Web Cache and will probably install WebTrends on the server which is what Andrew Sethi recommends... http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/pdf/oow_10gr2_1333_sethi_andrew.pdf

Statistics on Oracle as Portal

Hi,
I would like to know if Oracle As Portal can generate visitor's statistics.
Examples :
- Hits by page
- Most used practice in website
- Best pages
- Navigator's informations

Thanks for all

You may want to look at the white papers on:
