Report Painter Performance Issue

Helloo experts,
I have a report painter report which is pulling the data from a custom table (which has 32million records). Its taking a lot of time .
Is there any method to improve its performance ?

Hi,
Please check report painter selecting records using primary key or secondary index. If not please create secondary index for custom table (after consultation with basis, due to creating the secondary index will increase the load on server of custom table with 32 millions records)
If not possible. extract the resultset from custom table into another table and make query for report painter on that. and update the new table on daily basis or hourly basis.

Report painter performance problem...

I have a client which runs a report group consists of 14 reports... When we run this program... It takes about 20 minutes to get results... I was assigned to optimize this report...
This is what I've done so far
(this is a SAP generated program)...
1. I've checked the tables that the program are using... (a customized table with more than 20,000 entries and many others)
2. I've created secondary indexes to the main customized table with (20,000) entries - It improves the performance a bit(results about 18 minutes)...
3. I divided the report group by 4... 3 reports each report group... It greatly improves the performance... (but this is not what the client wants)...
4. I've read an article about report group performance that it is a bug.
(sap support recognized the fact that we are dealing with a bug in the sap standard functionality)

Report painter/Writer always creates a prerformance issue.i never preffred them since i have a option with Zreport
now you can do only one thing put more checks on selection-screen for filtering the data.i think thats the only way.

How should I report forum performance issues?

The forums rely heavily on the caching features of browsers to improve the speed of page rendering. Performance of these forums should greatly improve after a few pages because more and more of the images, css and javascript is cached in the browser. As a consequence, when reporting forums performance issues the report should include some information on the state of the browser cache to determine whether the issue is a browser issue or a server issue. Such detailed information is generally not available from just watching the browser screen, but needs to come from specialized tools such as performance monitor plugins and recording proxies.
The preferred report method for performance issues is to use the speed reporting features build into or available as a plugin for a browser for both the page you want to report a problem with and several refence pages in the site. Detailed instructions are listed below separated out for different browsers. If possible, please use Firefox for submitting the report because it provides an export format that can be read back electronically.
Known performance issues
The performance issues with any screen with a Rich Text Editor, such as the Reply window and the compose Private Message window have been acknowleged and improvements are being implemented.
Mozilla Firefox (preferred)
Warning: it is currently not recommended to generate a speed report when logged in. The speed report has enough detail for somebody else to hijack your session and impersonate you on the forums. If you really must report while logged in, make sure you log out your browser after generating the speed report and wait at least 4 hours before posting.

If you have non-standard tweaks to your Firefox configuration (such as pipelining enabled) or are running any plugins please include that information in your report as well.

Since Google Chrome does not have an export format for the Resource Tracking information best current practice is to take a screenshot and note the hover details for any resource with a tail that is longer then 25% of the total load time. When you report a performance problem please attach the screenshots and an explanation of how you are experiencing the issues (for instance how much slower it is then normal) and include a description of your internet connection (dial-up, dsl, cable etc.) and the country from where you are connecting.
Apple Safari
The Apple Safari Web Inspector has a Resources panel similar to the Resources panel in the Google Chrome developer tools.To get there, follow these steps:
Show the menu bar.
Go to preferences
Go to the Advanced Tab
Check “Show Develop menu in menu bar”.
From the Develop menu select “Show Web Inspector”.
Collecting the performance information and exporting works exactly the same as in Google Chrome. Please refer to the instructions for Google Chrome.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
IE does not have native features to analyze web traffic. No plugins have been found that produce the required information (please let us know if we missed any). For now, please reproduce the issue with Firefox, Chrome or Safari.
Please note that due to the reliance on Javascript for the interactive effects the performance of these forums will be much better on MS IE 8 then on previous versions of MS IE.

SQL Services 2012 Reporting Services Performance Issue - PowerView

Power view Reports are loading very slow while opening in SharePoint 2013, it is taking more than 15 secs. It is development environment, maximum 10 users , no traffic at all but still not sure why it is taking such long time.
We have 2 servers in SharePoint farm one is for SharePoint and other is for SQL. I have gone through the logs in reporting database, attached the same below. Can you please help me what we can say from the sheet attached ,whether it is slow or fast. Or where
we are having issue.
SQL server version is SQL 2012 SP2.
SharePoint 2013 is RTM.
Gone through the below blogs but no luck.

Thanks.
Thanks, Ram Ch

Hi Ram Ch,
According to your description, your have performance issue when running your Power View report. Right?
In this scenario, based on your screenshot, it takes long time on data retrieval. How is the performance when executing the query in SQL Server Management Studio? Since you mention there's no traffic at all and 15 seconds will not cause query
time out, we suggest you optimize the query for retrieving data. Please refer to links below:
Troubleshooting Reports: Report Performance
Please share some detail information about the data query if possible. Thanks.

Crystal Reports 11g Performance Issue

We just upgraded our database to Oracle 11g from Oracle 10g and we are having significant performance issues with Crystal Reports.
Our DEV and TEST environments are on 11g and are very slow to connect to the database and attach to specific tables. It is unusable. Our PROD environment is still 10g and works fine.
We have tested with both the lastest version - Crystal Reports 2008 V1 and Crystal Reports XI R2 SP6. We have also tested on several different machines.
We are using Oracle 10g ODBC drivers.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

You could also try our Data direct drivers we have available on our WEB site using this [link|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008666562008E/cr_datadirect53_win32.zip].
Those drivers are the most recent and do support 11g. It also has a wired driver that doesn't require the client to be installed.
Also, highly recommended that when you do update the Oracle client to uninstall 10 first. There have been issues with CR and Oracle mixing the Oracle dependencies and causing problems.
Thank you

Report painter currency issue

Hello experts
Situation is like this:
The customer has 3 different company codes which all use different currencies as local currency. They use only one controlling area (Euro).
100=EURO
200=DKK
300=SEK
The report painter report is for their administrative costs. what has gone wrong if i run the report for example all cost centers in company code 200 and cant see the total sum in DKK. I assume that the problem is because there are postings in different currencies.
Could someone tell me how to create a report which shows the total sum clearly in DKK even if there are postings in different currencies. I know that there is S_ALR_87005721 transaction where you can change the currency settings but no success. Plese tell me how to change the formula + any other comments warmly welcome. The postings included in report should be automatically translated to DKK on their posting day currency. There is a challenge for someone.
At the moment i have only one characteristic in Total definition (GRR2):
Variable Description Type Table
1CKSTAR Cost Element Group Set CCSS KSTAR
Thanks in advance.

Hi Gokul,
Your approach is correct, if you wish to display the data in another currency
then as you have described you will need to make a copy of the reports / forms (for
example create a custom form based on the current one) using transactions CJE1
and CJE4 then modify these custom forms by adding new columns for the value in
object currency and by deactivating the columns which refer to the values in controlling
area currency. You can create your own transaction codes for calling these custom
reports (based on the modified forms).
Regarding displaying the values in object currency SAP Note 1925431 provides further
information on this.

Enrique

Report Painter form issue

Hi
I have changed the form layout in KE85 for one of our report painter report. I have transported the changes to quality. The form changes are appearing as per Development but the screenlayout is not changed.
Is there anything else I should do like import, or generate the report etc. If so kindly let me know the details.
Thanks
N Sankar

Hi Franc
Thank you very much for your valuable input. But my report does not have report group. It is a report created by using a form in KE84. This form is attached to a t_code and the same transported to quality. In quality the form changes are appearing in the form. Whereas when I execute the form changes are not called.
This is what confusing me a lot. Can you please guide me on this.
Thanks

Create a program, based on a report painter query issue continues

Hi!
I would like to create a program, which contains the same data, what I can get from a report, which is made by report painter in transaction GRR2. The given report is for checking the service orders.
This report has a key (order number) and additional columns, like material cost, personal cost, external service cost, money income, etc...
I found the COSP table, which can be very useful. Unfortunately COSP table contains only the costart (KSTAR) and I don't know, which costarts can be attached to the material costs, which costarts to the services, which costarts belong to the money income, etc...
Could you please tell me, where can I find this assignment?
Thank you

Hi Report painter division issue

Hi All
In report painter i have a division problem. I am calculationg Gross profit percentage as
Gross Profit % = ( Gross Profit / Sales ) * 100.
So the value should be
GP % = ( 2523302.56 / 14067690 )*100 = 17.93 ( As per calculator )
But the SAP is showing the value as 18.09. Can you please guide me what could be the problem?

Hello Siva Kumar,
Please note that the column formula takes precedence over the row formula as mentioned in the SAP note:140901. Please also check if there are some hidden columns in the report which you can display as follows :
After executing the report >In the menu select 'SETTINGS'-> 'Report Layout' and here select tab 'Columns' > Click on 'Other
Format Groups' and change the column width for the relevant format group. Then you would able to see the hidden columns.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Suresh Jayanthi.

Crystal Report 9 performance issue wehn we move old DB to new DB server

We are using Crystal Reports 9 version, recently we move to new database server and reports data source are pointing to Old database server and old database server is no longer in the network.
, Now we have issue with the performance, if the we call the reports from web application, it is talking long to retrieve the report at least 1 min.. , if we manually update the report data source pointing to new server and the reports are pulling in 1 second, Is there any easy solution to update all the report pointing to new server, we have 3000 reports, we can not use manual process, it will take long time and it is also issue with the future if we change the server.
Thanks!
Ram

The 1 minute timeout is due to ODBC driver trying to connect, it's the default timeout you are seeing. There is not tool Cr has to migrate/update database connection info. You can develop your own though or search the web for a third party tool, I'm sure there are lots out there.

How to solve the report generating performance issue in BI server

->I HAVE USED ONLY ONE PIVOT IN MY REPORT QUERY AND THE REPORT QUERY IS FULLY DEPEND ON ONE FACT TABLE
->IN THE REPORT I AM SHOWING DATA BY MORE THAN 150 COLUMNS.
->I HAVE USED REPORT FUNCTIONS FOR 3 FIELDS IN THE REPORT.ALL THREE REPORT FUNCTIONS JUST ADD TWO COLUMN FIELD AND MAKE IT IN TO ONE COLUMN FILED
->REPORT QUERY INDIVIDUALLY RUNNING BY 2.40 SECONDS.WHEN I USED THAT TO GENERATE A REPORT IT TAKES TO RUN MORE THAN 8 MINS.WHY THIS DELAY?WILL YOU EXPLAIN
Edited by: 873091 on Jul 18, 2011 3:50 AM

Hello Dude,
So from your post I understand that there is a report that basically takes 8 minutes to retrieve the data, but when you get the logical sql from the cache, and run it against the database, it only takes less than 20 seconds to retrieve the same data?
This should never happen. There might be a delay of more 20-40 seconds more than the time taken against the database to load the page elements etc. Is this happening for only this particular report or all reports ? Are you running the query against the same instance's database or a different one?
Try to re-boot all the BI services and run the report again, if the issue still exists, enable caching and try.
Assign points if helpful.
Thanks,
-Amith.

Crystal Report / Subreport - Performance Issue

I am having problems with a Crystal Report / Subreport with performance. I am using Crystal Version 11, directly in Crystal Developer. There are no other programs involved. I am linking to a SQL Server database using ODBC.
I have narrowed the problem down to this:
The main report has 4 tables. See diagram using the following link.   http://screencast.com/t/TA9YYlwwl7
The subreport has 1 table, this table has > 2 Million records in it.
The main report links to the subreport with one field:
Main report field SAMPLE.PATIENT = subreport field Z_RESULT_HISTORY.PHIN
When I set the subreport linking within Crystal   it automatically generates the following in the record selection for the subreport:
{Z_RESULT_HISTORY.PHIN} = {?Pm-SAMPLE.PATIENT}
The problem is that the report execution time is dependent on the field that I am using for the record selection in the main report.
Case I   works lightening fast:
There are 16 records returned on the Main Report   each one of these has about 1-5 records returned on the subreport.
{SAMPLE.PATIENT} = "MOUSEMICKEY" and {SAMPLE.SAMPLE_NUMBER} < 200
Case II   brutally slow   there are 51 records in the main report that qualify   with a few records each in the subreport. By brutally slow    I mean a few minutes:
{BATCH.NAME} = "HEP_ARCH-20090420-1"
In this case, I can see in the bottom right of the Crystal Preview window, that it is reading through all 2M records in the Z_RESULT_HISTORY table
Case III   brutally slow - a couple minutes
{BATCH_OBJECTS.OBJECT_ID} = 111
This returns 1 record on the main report and 0 records on the subreport. Yet I can see it reading through ALL 2 Million records before the report is displayed.
What I can t understand is why the field used for record selection on the MAIN report is affecting the speed of the execution of the subreport. I need the main report to be selected by BATCH.NAME   yet I can t figure out what I can change to make the report run fast. When I record select the main report by SAMPLE.PATIENT, I do NOT see the subreport reading all 2M reocrds - the report preview is returned in less than 1 second.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Lindell - your response was very helpful. I was able to create a SQL Command on the subreport and change the subreport links on the main report to use the paramters in the SQL Command. The report is now very fast - even when there are lots of detail records on the main report. It is properly executing the query and not reading all 2M records into memory for each subreport.
I'm still totally confused as to why Crystal was misbehaving so poorly and changing how the subreport queried the database when the only change was the fields used for record selection on the main report. It really looks like a bug to me, but maybe someone can still enlighten me.
thanks again so much. We are in Parallel testing for a production rollout - and the users are MUCH happier now! (which of course makes me much happier!)
Susan
PS I was not aware of the SQL Command - had never used it before. Took me a little while to figure it out and how to do the linking - but it is very powerful. Thanks again.

Report Script Performance Issues

Essbase Nation,
We have a report script that extracts a full 12 months worth of history in 7 minutes. The script that is used to extract the period dimension is as follows:
<Link (<Descendants("Dec YTD") And <Lev("Period",0))
The line above is then changed to pull just one month of data, and now the report script runs for 8 hours.
Please advise as to why the difference in performance.
Thank you.

ID 581459.1:
Goal
How to optimize Hyperion Essbase Report Scripts?
Solution
To optimize your Report follow the suggested guidelines below:
1. Decrease the amount of Dynamic Calcs in your outline. If you have to, make it dynamic calc and store.
2. Use the <Sparse command at the beginning of the report script.
3. Use the <Column command for the dense dimensions instead of using the Page command. The order of the dense dimensions in the Column command should
be the same as the order of the dense dimension in the outline. (Ex. <Column (D1, D2)).
4. Use the <Row command for the sparse dimensions. The order of the sparse dimensions in the Row command should be in the opposite order of the sparse
dimension in the outline. (Ex. <Row (S3, S2, S1)). This is commonly called sparse bottom up method.
5. If the user does not want to use the <Column command for the dense dimensions, then the dense dimensions should be placed at the end of the <Row command.
(Ex. <Row (S3, S2, S1, D1, D2)).
6. Do not use the Page command, use the Column command instead.
