Query not using aggregate when written against multiprovider

We have a multiprovider that contains one infocube. The infocube has aggregates defined to it. When writing a query against the infocube, an aggregate is used. However, when writting the identical query against the multiprovider, an aggegate is not used. We are running BI 7.0, Netweaver 2004s, patch set 10. Is there something that needs to be done to the multiprovider to get it to recognize the aggregate?

We have determined the issue to be one of the navigational attributes. It is not used in our query and is not in our aggregate. For some reason, the query against the multiprovider wanted it to be there. After adding it to the aggregate, we were fine. We found this using RSRT and specifying the 'Select Aggregate' option. This gave us a good message as to why the aggregate was not being used. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

  • Query not using index when using 'or' clause

    I have a problem with something I can't understand about indexes in Oracle 11g.
    We can create test data with:
    create table test2(field1 varchar2(100),field2 varchar2(100),field3 number,field4 varchar2(100));
    create index test2_idx1 on test2(upper(field1));
    create index test2_idx1b on test2(field1);
    create index test2_idx2 on test2(field3);
    DECLARE
    j NUMBER :=1;
    BEGIN
    FOR i IN 1..500000
    LOOP
    INSERT
    INTO test2
    (field1,field2, field3, field4)
    VALUES
    ('field1='||i,'a', j, 'i' );
    IF (i mod 1000)=0 THEN
    j := j+1;
    END IF;
    END LOOP;
    COMMIT;
    END;
    EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS ('system', 'test2');
    Then I make some explain plans which result I can't understand
    Query 1:
    SELECT * FROM test2 WHERE field3=1;
    Explain plan:
    Explain plan for query 01
    | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |

    Everything OK here. Index is used.

    Everything OK again. Index is used.

    Indenxes are used in concatenation. No problem again.

    |* 4 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | TEST2_IDX2 | 1003 | | 5 (0)| 00:00:01 |
    Here my problem arises. Why is test2_idx1 not being used? Is it because it is a function index? Is there any workaround in this cases?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Interesting. A "workaround" which I thought first was:
    SELECT /*+ USE_CONCAT */ * FROM test2 WHERE upper(field1)='FIELD1=1'
    UNION ALL
    SELECT /*+ USE_CONCAT */ * FROM test2 WHERE field3=1;

  • Query not using indexes

    I have the above query which is not using the index created on the BEGIN_DT column
    I tried to force using still not using
    but when i apply a value say
    select *
              from hrm_career x
              WHERE x.begin_date ='10-20-2007'
    It is using index and resulting in very fast response
    Can some throw some ideas on it...
    Where should i look into here ..

  • Why is this query not using the index?

    check out this query:-
    SELECT CUST_PO_NUMBER, HEADER_ID, ORDER_TYPE, PO_DATE
    FROM TABLE1
    WHERE STATUS = 'N'
    and here's the explain plan:-
    1     
    2     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    3     | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)|
    4     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    5     | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 2735K| 140M| 81036 (2)|
    6     |* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| TABLE1 | 2735K| 140M| 81036 (2)|
    7     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    8     
    9     Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
    10     ---------------------------------------------------
    11     
    12     1 - filter("STATUS"='N')
    There is already an index on this column, as is shown below:-
         INDEX_NAME INDEX_TYPE     UNIQUENESS     TABLE_NAME     COLUMN_NAME     COLUMN_POSITION
    1     TABLE1_IDX2 NORMAL     NONUNIQUE     TABLE1      STATUS     1
    2     TABLE1_IDX NORMAL     NONUNIQUE     TABLE1     HEADER_ID     1
    So why is this query not using the index on the 'STATUS' Column?
    I've already tried using optimizer hints and regathering the stats on the table, but the execution plan still remains the same, i.e. it still uses a FTS.
    I have tried this command also:-
    exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('GECS','GEPS_CS_SALES_ORDER_HEADER',method_opt=>'for all indexed columns size auto',cascade=>true,degree=>4);
    inspite of this, the query is still using a full table scan.
    The table has around 55 Lakh records, across 60 columns. And because of the FTS, the query is taking a long time to execute. How do i make it use the index?
    Please help.

    If the cardinality is really as skewed as that, you may want to look at putting a histogram on the column (sounds like it would be in order, and that you don't have one).
    create table skewed_a_lot
    as
       select
          case when mod(level, 1000) = 0 then 'N' else 'Y' end as Flag,
          level as col1
       from dual connect by level <= 1000000;
    create index skewed_a_lot_i01 on skewed_a_lot (flag);
    exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user, 'SKEWED_A_LOT', cascade => true, method_opt => 'for all indexed columns size auto');Is an example.

  • [Repost] Kodo do not use cache when resolving references to objects?

    Abe,
    I noticed that if object A references object B and we read multiple A
    object which reference the same B object, this B object will be re-read
    from database for every fetched A object. If I read 100 A-object
    referencing the same B it will do 100 selects on the same B. I use
    optimistic transactions with retain values = true
    Could you please comment on it
    Thank you very much
    Alex

    Was there something else about this you'd like me to comment on?_
    No Abe that is it. I was not sure I am not doing something wrong. I
    seemed very strange to me that internal reference resolution completely
    ignore cache.
    I think it is quite important - you want believe how much it slows down
    object graph retrieval. It does not seem to be hard to implement. :-)_
    I guess when resolving a reference you would have to use the same
    validate _true/false settings as for retrieving  object?

    this B object will be re-read_
    from database for every fetched A object_Yes, this seems like inefficient behavior that we should optimize. The
    same B instance is returned from each relation, so it is not a bug, but
    obviously it is something we could be doing a little more intelligently.
    Thanks for pointing it out!

  • Aggregate in Query not used

    Hello,
    i've a problem with an aggregate i've created for a query: the Aggregate is not used.
    i've tried it in RSRT with "run and debug" and there the aggregate will be found and the aggregate statistik in the InfoCube gets a new "last used" date.
    But when i run it in RSRT just clicking the "run" button or within the Bex-Analyzer the aggregate statistik will not be updated -> the aggreate is not used.
    What did i wrong?

    Hi Dennis,
    if the query is in the cache then it's read from there. If it'S not in the cache then it will use the aggregates. You may see it in execution statistics of the query, if it was executed in cache or by using aggregates. Activate statistics in RSRT and debug, then you should see how it is executed.
    Regards,
    Jürgen

  • Not using Index when SDO_RELATE in Spatial Query is used in LEFT OUTER JOIN

    I want to know for every City (Point geometry) in which Municipality (Polygon geometry) it is.
    Some cities will not be covered by any municipality (as there is no data for it), so its municipality name should be blank in the result
    We have 4942 cities (point geometries)
    and 500 municipalities (polygon geometry)
    SELECT T1.NAME as City, T2.NAME as Municipality
    FROM CITY T1
    LEFT OUTER JOIN MUNICIPALITY T2 ON SDO_RELATE(T1.GEOM, T2.GEOM, 'MASK=ANYINTERACT') = 'TRUE'The explain plan for this query is:
    SELECT STATEMENT
      FILTER
        Filter Predicates
          MDSYS.SDO_RTREE_RELATE(T1.GEOM, T2.GEOM, 'mask=ANYINTERACT querytype=window ') = 'TRUE'
        MERGE JOIN
          TABLE ACCESS              CITY               FULL                            11
          BUFFER                                       SORT                        100605
              TABLE ACCESS          MUNICIPALITY       FULL                            20So the cost is in the BUFFER (whatever that is), it takes +2000 seconds to run this, it is not using the spatial index.
    And we are not getting all rows, but only the ones interacting with a municipality, e.g. 2436 rows.
    But I want all rows, including the ones not interacting with any Municipality.
    When we want only those cities that actually are in a municipality, I use a different query and it will use the index.
    SELECT T1.NAME as City, T2.NAME as Municipality
    FROM CITY T1, MUNICIPALITY T2
    WHERE SDO_RELATE(T1.GEOM, T2.GEOM, 'MASK=ANYINTERACT') = 'TRUE'I get (only) 2436 rows (as expected) in 5 seconds (it is fast) and the explain plan shows it is using the spatial index.
    But in this case, I am not getting any cities not inside any municipality (of course)
    SELECT STATEMENT
       NESTED LOOPS
          TABLE ACCESS                   MUNICIPALITY       FULL                22
          TABLE ACCESS                   CITY               BY INDEX ROWID      22
             DOMAIN INDEX                CITY_SDX                                0
                Access Predicates
                   MDSYS.SDO_RTREE_RELATE(T1.GEOM, T2.GEOM, 'mask=ANYINTERACT querytype=window ') = 'TRUE'I always thought a LEFT OUTER JOIN would return all rows from the Table, whatever happens in the next,
    but it seems the query has been rewritten so that it is now using a Filter Predicate in the end, which filters those geometries having no interaction.
    As an example I also do thing alphanumerically, I do get 4942 rows, including the ones which have no Municipality name.
    In this case the names must match, so its only for testing if the LEFT OUTER JOIN returns stuff correctly, which it does in this case.
    SELECT T1.NAME as City, T2.NAME as Municipality
    FROM CITY T1
    LEFT OUTER JOIN MUNICIPALITY T2 ON T1.NAME = T2.NAMEIs this an Oracle Spatial bug, e.g. not return 4942 rows, but only 2436 rows on the first query?
    Note all tests performed on Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.1.0)

    Patrick,
    Even so, your geoms in the relate were the wrong way around.
    Also, I don't recall you saying (or showing) that you wanted the municipality geometry returned. Still,
    no matter, easy to do.
    Here are some additional suggestions. I don't have your data so I have had to use some of my own.

  • Query does not use aggregate ?

    Hi,
    how can I check if a query uses an aggregate ?
    How can I force a query to use an aggregate ?
    ThanXs
    Martin

    Hi,
      You can check in RSRT whether a query is hitting aggregate or not. Otherwise you run the query and go to aggregate maintanence and see the last used date. In order to make the query hit the aggregate all the fields in query including filters should be in the aggregate.

  • Condition in 7.0 query not used when mapped to dropdownlist in 3.5 web temp

    Hi Experts
    I have a 7.0 query with a condition so that it only shows topN records for a given KF. The query is shown in a chart in a 3.5 web template and here is the condition working just fine. However in the same web template has I made a dropdownlist which is based on the same query as the chart but here is the condition not used.
    Do you know how I get the system to apply the condition to the dropdownlist as well?
    I have tried to set the "Read mode" to the possible values (posted values, master data table, dimension table) on the dropdownlist element in the 3.5 web template but it didn't help.
    Thanks and kind regards,
    Torben

  • Due to Upper() query not using Indexes.......

    Hi,
    I have query as under:
    SELECT max(A.REGION_ID)
      FROM SOP_REGION_COUNTRY_MAP  A,
           SOP_REGION_PRODLINE_MAP B,
           SOP_REGION_ACTIVITY_MAP C
    WHERE A.REGION_ID = B.REGION_ID
       AND A.REGION_ID = C.REGION_ID
       AND upper(trim(COUNTRY_NAME)) = upper(trim(:Var3))
       AND upper(trim(STATE_NAME)) = upper(trim(:Var2))
       AND upper(trim(PRODLINE_NAME)) = upper(trim(:Var1))
       AND A.BATCH_JOB_IND = 1
       AND B.BATCH_JOB_IND = 1The plan of the above query is as under:
         SELECT STATEMENT, GOAL = CHOOSE                                   Cost=7     Cardinality=1     Bytes=73
    SORT AGGREGATE                                                       Cardinality=1     Bytes=73
      NESTED LOOPS                                                  Cost=7     Cardinality=1     Bytes=73

       INDEX RANGE SCAN     Object owner=SOP     Object name=FK1_SOP_REGION_ACTIVITY_MAP     Cost=2     Cardinality=48     Bytes=240Now, this query does full table access of sop_region_country_map and sop_region_prodline_map even though it has index on country_name,state_name and prodline_name columns but as i have used Upper function the index is not used. Now, I need this upper function as business req. states that none of the comparison should be missed jsut because user has entered country,state and prodline in mixed cases...
    Can you pls let me know what to do if i want to avoid this FTA and instaed use indexes.. without sacrificing Upper() functionlaity..?
    Thx

    okay...its something like query rewrite grant for user...
    when i give that...i can create functional index now..
    but still i can use trunc() for functional index...it tells me that functional index can be created only for pure function...what is pure and impure function in oracle.

  • AGO ToDate  function not using aggregates

    I use aggregated table and a detailed table
    I have time hierarchy whose lowest level is date. For sales I
    created year-to-year (YTD) comparision with AGO function. It
    works OK.
    BUT, I want to speed it up, so I used aggregates. I created new
    time table grouped by MONTH and corresponding agg_SALES table. I
    created connections and mapped the fields. It works OK for
    normal queries, that means my queries at month level use
    aggregates. BUT when I add YTD measures or YAGO measure in query, it goes to
    then SALES table whose grain is date.
    How can I force BI Server to use AGO function with aggregates?
    I use OBIEE 10.1.3.4
    Thank you
    Ishaq
    (Question originally taken from ITtoolbox and posted by Gorazd)

    Hi,
    you can not do it in Administration tool but you can set agregation for that field in Answers (fx->Agregation rule->Sum) and effect should be the same. Note that it may not work properly on Oracle 10g as generated SQL is not 100% recognized, on 11g everything is OK (at least in my case).

  • Report not using aggregates

    Hi,
    I have a Crystal report based on BW query.  When I run the query its using the aggregate and getting me the result with in a minute.  But when i run the same query through CR its taking more than 15 mins to complete and its not hitting the aggregate.  I am using MDX driver.  No free characteristics are used in the report.  Kindly help me in this regard to optimize it.
    Regards,
    Subbu S.

    Hi ,
    IF the query is not hitting the aggregate then from which infoprovider does the OLAP PROCESSOR taking the data . Either the query o/p is getting data from the another aggregate or from parent infocube.

  • SQL Query not using Composite Index

    Hi,
    Please look at the below query:
    SELECT pde.participant_uid
    ,pde.award_code
    ,pde.award_type
    ,SUM(decode(pde.distribution_type
    ,'FORFEITURE'
    ,pde.forfeited_quantity *
    pde.sold_price * cc.rate
    ,pde.distributed_quantity *
    pde.sold_price * cc.rate)) AS gross_Amt_pref_Curr
    FROM part_distribution_exec pde
    ,currency_conversion cc
    ,currency off_curr
    WHERE pde.participant_uid = 4105
    AND off_curr.currency_iso_code =
    pde.offering_currency_iso_code
    AND cc.from_currency_uid = off_curr.currency_uid
    AND cc.to_currency_uid = 1
    AND cc.latest_flag = 'Y'
    GROUP BY pde.participant_uid
    ,pde.award_code
    ,pde.award_type
    In oracle 9i, i"ve executed this above query, it takes 6 seconds and the cost is 616, this is due to non usage of the composite index, Currency_conversion_idx(From_currency_uid, To_currency_uid, Latest_flag). I wonder why this index is not used while executing the above query. So, I've dropped the index and recreated it. Now, the query is using this index. After inserting many rows or say in 1 days time, if the same query is executed, again the query is not using the index. So everyday, the index should be dropped and recreated.
    I don't want this drop and recreation of index daily, I need a permanent solution for this.
    Can anyone tell me, Why this index goes stale after a period of time???? Please take some time and Solve this issue.

    Hi David,
    This is Sankar here. Thankyou for your reply.
    I've got the plan table output for this problematic query, please go thro' it and help me out why the index CURRENCY_CONVERSION_IDX is used now and why it's not using while executing the query after a day or inserting some records...
