Query Prediction takes long time - After upgrade DB 9i to 10g

Hi all, Thanks for all your help.
we've got an issue in Discoverer, we are using Discoverer10g (10.1.2.2) with APPS and recently we upgraded Oracle DatBase from 9i to 10g.
After Database upgrade, when we try to run reports in Discoverer plus taking long time for query prediction than used to be(double/triple), only for query prediction taking long time andthen takes for running query.
Have anyone got this kind of issues seen before, could you share your ideas/thoughts that way i can ask DBA or sysadmin to change any settings at Discoverer server side
Thanks in advance

Hi skat
Did you also upgrade your Discoverer from 9i to 10g or did you always have 10g?
If you weren't always on 10g, take a look inside the EUL5_QPP_STATS table by running SELECT COUNT(*) FROM EUL5_QPP_STATS on both the old and new systems
I suspect you may well find that there are far more records in the old system than the new one. What this table stores is the statistics for the queries that have been run before. Using those statistics is how Discoverer can estimate how long queries will take to run. If you have few statistics then for some time Discoverer will not know how long previous queries will take. Also, the statistics table used by 9i is incompatible with the one used by 10g so you can't just copy them over, just in case you were thinking about it.
Personally, unless you absolutely rely on it, I would turn the query predictor off. You do this by editing your PREF.TXT (located on the middle tier server at $ORACLE_HOME\Discoverer|util) and change the value of QPPEnable to 0. AFter you have done this you need to run the Applypreferences script located in the same folder and then stop and start your Discoverer service. From that point on queries will no longer try to predict how long they will take and they will just start running.
There is something else to check. Please run a query and look at the SQL. Do you by change see a database hint called NOREWRITE? If you do then this will also cause poor performance. Should you see this let me know and I will let you know how to override it.
If you have always been on 10g and you have only upgraded your database it could be that you have not generated your database statistics for the tables that Discoverer is using. You will need to speak with your DBA to see about having the statistics generated. Without statistics, the query predictor will be very, very slow.
Best wishes

  • Delete Index in Process Chain Takes long time after SAP BI 7.0 SP 27

    After upgrading to SAP BI 7.0 SP 27 Delete index Process & Create index process in Process chain takes long time.

    Hi,
    Normally  index  creation or deletion can take long time in case  your database statistics are not updated properly, so can check  stat  after your data loading is completed and index generation is done,  Do creation of database statistics.

    But when I run this job again in the morning it is fine. This error occurred since i migrate my system from Solaris/Oracle 9 to HP-UX/Oracle 10. In the old system with lower spec hardware everything was okay.
    Any idea why it's happened or what database configuration should i consider after migration?
    Any help will be appreciated,
    Thanks,

    Hello Andrea,
    > I see the status in st03 the DB Time take big time
    Yes you are correct, that is your problem.
    > But when I run this job again in the morning it is fine
    Maybe your I/O subsystem is very slow and mostly of the needed buffers are still in the buffer cache or dynamic sampling is done, etc...
    > This error occurred since i migrate my system from Solaris/Oracle 9 to HP-UX/Oracle 10. In the old system with lower spec hardware everything was okay.
    I am quite sure, that the execution plan of the SQL statement(s) has changed. This is not unusual if you upgrade to a newer database release.
    > Any idea why it's happened or what database configuration should i consider after migration?
    Oracle 10g Parameter: Sapnote #830576
    Oracle 10g Patches: Sapnote #1137346

    I think that these notes are the important ones. If you have done all these things, then you have to go into deeper analysis (as i can see that this is a Z-Report you won't get support by SAP).

  • Query Saving takes long time and giving error

    Hi Gurus,
    I am creating one query that have lot of calculations (CKF & RKF).
    When I am trying to save this query it is taking long time and it is giving error like RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE, Query Designer must be restarted, further work not possible.
    Please give me the solution for this.
    Thanks,
    RChowdary

    Hi Chowdary,
    Check the following note: 316470.
    https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=316470
    The note details are:
    Symptom
    There are no authorizations to change roles. Consequently, the system displays no roles when you save workbooks in the BEx Analyzer. In the BEx browser, you cannot move or change workbooks, documents, folders and so on.
    Other terms
    BW 2.0B, 2.0A, 20A, 20B, frontend, error 172, Business Explorer,
    RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE, NOT_AUTHORIZED, S_USER_TCD, RAISE_EXCEPTION,
    LPRGN_STRUCTUREU04, SAPLPRGN_STRUCTURE, PRGN_STRU_SAVE_NODES
    Reason and Prerequisites
    The authorizations below are not assigned to the user.
    Solution
    Assign authorization for roles
    To assign authorizations for a role, execute the following steps:
    1. Start Transaction Role maintenance (PFCG)
    2. Select a role
    3. Choose the "Change" switch
    4. Choose tab title "Authorizations"
    5. Choose the "Change authorization data" switch
    6. Choose "+ Manually" switch
    7. Enter "S_USER_AGR" as "Authorization object"
    8. Expand "Basis: Administration"/"Authorization: Role check""
    9. From "Activity" select "Create or generate" and others like "Display" or "Change"
    10. Under "Role Name", enter all roles that are supposed to be shown or changed. Enter "*" for all roles.
    11. You can re-enter authorization object "S_USER_AGR" for other activities.
    Assign authorization for transactions
    If a user is granted the authorization for changing a role, he/she should also be granted the authorization for all transactions contained in the role. Add these transaction codes to authorization object S_USER_TCD.
    1. Start the role maintenance transaction (PFCG).
    2. Select a role.
    3. Click on "Change".
    4. Choose the "Authorizations" tab.
    5. Click on "Change authorization data".
    6. Click on "+ manually".
    7. Specify "S_USER_TCD" as "Authorization object".
    8. Expand "Basis - Administration"/"Authorizations: Transactions in Roles".
    9. Under "Transaction", choose at least "RRMX" (for BW reports), "SAP_BW_TEMPLATE" (for BW Web Templates), "SAP_BW_QUERY" (for BW Queries and/or "SAP_BW_CRYSTAL" (for Crystal reports) or "*". Values with "SAP_BW_..." are not transactions, they are special node types (see transaction code NODE_TYPE_DEFINITION).
    Using the SAP System Trace (Transaction ST01), you can identify the transaction that causes NOT_AUTHORIZED.
    Prevent user assignment
    Having the authorization for changing roles, the user is not only able to change the menu but also to assign users. If you want to prevent the latter, the user must loose the authorization for Transactions User Maintenance (SU01) and Role maintenance (PFCG).
    Z1>Note
    Refer to Note 197601, which provides information on the different display of BEx Browser, BEx Analyzer and Easy Access menu.
    Please refer to Note 373979 about authorizations to save workbooks.
    Check in the transaction ST22 for more details on the Query designer failure or query log file.

    Ravi Kanth.

  • Query execution takes long time

    Hi All,
    I have one critical problem in my production system.
    I have three sales related queries in the production system and when i try to execute it in the BEx analyser(in Microsoft excle) it will take too much time and at last it will give am error that "Time Limit Exceeded" .
    Actually we have created these three queries on one Infoset and that Infoset contains three DSOs and two master data.
    Please give me the proper solution and help me to solve this production problem.

    Dear James,
    first give some filter conditions on the query and try to restrict for lesser volume of data.from the message it is evident that may be you are trying to fetch large volume of data.so please execute the query once in RSRT and try to find the solution in that.there you can get all the statistics reagrding the query.if still you cant find please let me know the message you are getting in RSRT.then we can give a viable solution for that.
    hope you might aware of all the options reagarding RSRT.
    assign points if it helps..
    Thanks & Regards,

    why it takes long time to shut down after i upgrade to OS X ver 10.8.2?

    Can't really say, but I see this occurring on all of my Macs since the 10.8.2 update and keep reading about it at several other Mac user boards.
    Bottom line: it's a general problem, but more of an inconvenience, than a serious problem. Probably will be solved with the next update.

  • Takes long time for shutdown after adding to domain

    Hi,
    Workstation OS - Window 7
    Domain Controller OS - Window server 2008 R2 standard
    Following thing i have measure with Stopwatch.
    1) When the laptop is in workgroup, it takes just 17 second for shutdown.
    2) when i added the same laptop in domain ( corp.abc.com ), now it takes 1minutes and 22 second for shutdown. ( it just show shutting down screen )
    Why the shutdown time increased so much?
    Do you have any idea?
    Note:- i have not make any changes in laptop, nor added any software. I have done the above testing because user start complaining that after putting laptop in domain it takes long time for shutdown. It's happening to all laptop where the OS is window 7
    There is no logoff scripts / gpo's as well as we don't have roaming profiles.
    Please advice.

    Be aware that XP takes approx 1gb of your RAM leaving you with 1gb for whatever else is running. MS Outlook is also a memory hog.
    To check Virtual Memory Settings:
    Control Panel -> System

    Performance Options -> Adavanced Tab - Virtual Memory section
    Virtual Memory -

    Sorry to hear of your problem, but any hardware in a computer can fail - that includes the hard drive, the logic board, etc, etc. Fortunately, it usually doesn't happen that soon; however, I've read of hard drives failing within 6 months.
    So, since you did not purchase the extended Applecare Protection Plan (3 years coverage), you will need to make a decision to repair or sell it as is. I would always purchase 3 year coverage for an all in one or a laptop because repairs are expensive and at least I'd be covered for 3 years.
    We can't speculate on whether there should be a recall or not; these forums are for user to user assistance with technical problems. In your case, there is nothing we can help with since you've already gotten a diagnosis.

  • SL takes longer time to start up and shut down after "IceClean".

    Greetings,
    After "IceClean" (both maintenance and cleanup), SL seems (obviously) to take longer time to start up and shut down.
    Any idea why and how can I resolve it?
    Thank you so much.
    Cheers.

    Hi,
    I've finally able to solve the problem. The problem was due to start up item. There were 2 trial application (expired long ago) in the folder. After clearing the application, start up and shut down are fast as light.
    I think I've "awaken" the start up application after "IceClean" as IceClean has deleted their log file or something like that and therefore the applications have to run again.
    In order to be fair to IceClean, it is my fault to be blamed.
    Thanks again.
    Cheers
