Reports for Database metriks: what is possible?

Hello,
we are using the GridControl since several months. For our databases we are collecting several metrics and keep them for 365 days. I know how to look up the metrics for historic data (e.g. the first week in january), but for reporting purposes I need something like this:
=> a report which contains the metriks CPU, User I/O and System I/O of the week before the actual week (and of the complete month before the current month, and of the year before the
current year)
What the report should show is some kind of grafical curve which shows: the values of the metrics have increased, decreased or stayed the some
When looking into the report tab of the GridControl I find all kinds of predefined reports - but not exactly what I'm looking for...
Any help will be appreciated

You can Generate AWR(Automatic Workload Repository) and ADDM(Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor) Reports to see the performance.
They are similar to staspack report with more information.

EWA Report for DEV/QAS System (if possible)

Hi Experts,
I would like to know if it is possible to generate EWA reports for DEV/QAS Systems. I believe i have set up all the necessary RFCs for our SOLMAN to communicate with the DEV/QAS systems.
When I try to create an EWA session in SDCCN of the DEV/QAS system, the only destination i can choose is "NONE" which is local.
Any idea how I can send this to my SOLMAN. My SOLMAN is already configured to be the master system of my DEV/QAS system.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Prince Jose,
My problem actually is that I want to set up EWA for a DEV system. I have tested all the RFC connections to and from my SOLMAN.
Even the RFC connection in SDCCN -> Settings .. -> RFC destination, i have 2, one SAP_OSS and my 'back' RFC to my SOLMAN and everything is working OK.
Would you be able to give me a step by step guide on how to setup EWA. From what i know:
1. Setup the system via SMSY (done)
2. Generate the necessary RFCs (done and tested OK)
3. Set SOLMAN as the master system of the satellite systems (done)
4. Create the necessary task for EWA via SDCCN of satellite system
Are the steps correct?
Thanks

Above is the Query that i'm using for the element "Table from SQL" but getting the error "Error rendering element. Exception: ORA-01476: divisor is equal to zero "
Can anyone please help me with fixing this report.
Thanks

The error says that somewhere in you statement you are using a value 0 as an divisor.
So A / B where B = 0
Try to debug you SQL statement to make sure you will never use the value 0 as divisor.
Once you corrected your statement, your report will work fine

Graphical Reports for Database Health Check or Database Statictics

Hello
we are using oracle 10g on Solaris.
Is there a way I can get the Database health check or database statictics report in graphical form like to represent the growth of database (in a week or month), log size etc..
Thanks

You'll have to develop your own method/application/script as per your requirement. To some extent Enterprise manager may help you but I think this is not your requirement.

Need help to analysis "foreground and background wait events" on statspack report for oracle database 11.2.0.4 on AIX

Hi: I'm analyzing this STATSPACK report: it is "volume test" on our UAT server, so most input is from 'bind variables'. Our shared pool is well utilized in oracle. Oracle redo logs is not appropriately configured on this server, as in 'Top 5 wait events' there are 2 for redos.
I need to know what else information can be dig-out from 'foreground wait events' & 'background wait events', and what can assist us to better understanding, in combination of 'Top 5 wait event's, that how the server/test went? it could be overwelming No. of wait events, so appreciate any helpful diagnostic or analysis. Database is oracle 11.2.0.4 upgraded from 11.2.0.3, on IBM AIX power system 64bit, level 6.x

Hi: just know it now: it is a large amount of 'concurrent transaction' designed in this "Volume Test" - to simulate large incoming transaction volme, so I guess wait in eq:TX - row is expected.
The fact: (1) redo logs at uat server is known to not well-tune for configurations (2) volume test slow 5%, however data amount in its test is kept the same by each time import production data, by the team. So why it slowed 5% this year?
The wait histogram is pasted below, any one interest to take a look? any ideas?

How to export the dashboard reports for Excel in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0?

Hi Experts,
How to export the dashboard reports for Excel in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0?
For example:
Dashboard contains more than one report, and add one export button for downloading these reports for Excel.
Is it possible to implement this requirement?Thanks.

There is no direct option, you can try the following workaround.
Page Option -> Print -> Printable Html
Then File -> Save Page as
Choos Save as type as -> All files
File name as Report.xls
When you Open the xls file, if you get a pop up saying problem during load just omit it and proceed.
The report will open in excel.
Or save the page as html /mht and open it with Excel, this also will work.
Note: I have tested this in Mozilla
Thanks,
Vino

Opening multiple reports in Crystal Reports for VS causes database connect limit to be reached. Seems to be no way to force Crystal Reports to close database connection (other than exiting application)

I am working on upgrading an application that has been in use for many years. The application is written in VB6 and I have been tasked with upgrading the current application to Crystal Reports for Visual Studio. I am using Crystal Reports for VS Version 13.0.12.1494. The system's database is a Sybase SQL Anywhere 16 database with an ODBC connection using integrated login. Each of the reports has the database connection set up from within the report. There is only once database server, so each of the reports are pointing to the same DB. The database server is currently installed as a "Personal Server" with a limit of 10 connections.
I have implemented the CR viewer as part of a COM-callable wrapper that exposes a COM interface for VB6 to interact with. Inside of my viewer component is a Winform that embeds the Crystal's Report viewer. The COM interface basically maps the basic Crystal apis to methods that the VB6 can call (i.e., Load Report, Set Field Text, Update SQL Query, etc). This architecture is working as designed and the reports are displaying correctly and responding correctly to changes in queries, etc.
The issue is that after I open 9 reports, the tenth one will respond with an error indicating that the database connection limit has been reached. The database connections used by the reports aren't released until after the application is closed. The application is designed for a secure environment that prohibits the non-administrative user from accessing the systems desktop, so asking the user tor restart the application after 10 reports isn't a viable option.
I have checked and database connection pooling is turned off for the SQL Anywhere 16 driver.
I have been digging on this for a few days and have tried adding code in the FormClosed event to close and dispose of the Report Document as follows:
ReportDocument reportDoc= (ReportDocument) crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource;
reportDoc.Close();
reportDoc.Dispose();
GC.Collect();       // Force garbage collection on disposed items
I have also tried the following (as well as maybe 20 or so other permutations) trying to fix the issue with no success.
ReportDocument reportDoc= (ReportDocument) crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource;
foreach (Table table in reportDoc.Database.Tables)
     table.Dispose();
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = null;
reportDoc.Database.Dispose();
reportDoc.Close();
reportDoc.Dispose();
reportDoc = (ReportDocument)crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource;
GC.Collect();       // Force garabe collection on disposed items
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have been pulling my hair out on this one!

Hi Ludek,
Thanks so much for the quick reply. Unfortunately I did not have time to work on the reporting project Friday afternoon, but did a quick test this morning with some interesting results. I'm hoping if I describe what I'm doing, you can show me the error of my ways. This is really my first major undertaking with Crystal Reports.
If I simply load the report, then close and dispose, I don't hit the limit of 10 files. Note that I do not logon manually in my code as the logon parameters are all defined within the reports themselves. The logon happens when you actually view the report. Loading the report doesn't seem to actually log in to the DB.
What I did was create a very simple form with a single button that creates the WinForm class which contains the Crystal Viewer. It then loads the report, sets the ReportSource property on the CrystalReportsViewer object contained in the WInForm and shows the report. The report does show correctly, until the 10 reports limit is reached.
The relevant code is shown below. More than I wanted to post, but i want to be as complete and unambiguous as possible.
This code displays the same behavior as my earlier post (after 10 reports we are unable to create another connection to the DB).
// Initial Form that simply has a button
public partial class SlectReport : form
        public SelectReport()
            InitializeComponent();
        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
            ReportDocument rd = new ReportDocument();
            ReportForm report = new ReportForm();
            try
                rd.Load(@"Test.rpt");
                report.ReportSource = rd;
                report.Show();
         catch (Exception ex)
              MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
// The WinForm containing the Crystal Reports Viewer
    public partial class ReportForm : Form
        public ReportForm()
            InitializeComponent();
        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            this.crystalReportViewer1.RefreshReport();
            this.FormClosed += new FormClosedEventHandler(ReportForm_FormClosed);
        void ReportForm_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
            ReportDocument rd;
            rd = (ReportDocument)crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource;
            rd.Close();
            rd.Dispose();
        public object ReportSource
            set { crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = value; }
Again, any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I like your script idea.
You can spool output to a file and mail the file to yourself.
What OS are you running?
On linux a simple starter script would look like this:
#!/bin/bash
echo `date`
# Set the Environmental variable for TESTDB instance
. /u01/app/oracle/dba_tool/env/TESTDB.env
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -s system/<PASSWORD> <<EOF
@/u01/app/oracle/dba_tool/TESTDB/quickaudit
EOF
echo `date`
mailx -s "Check database on TESTDB" [email protected] < /tmp/quickaudit.lst

What is the best way to create a SSRS 2005 Line Chart Report for a 12 month period?

I'm looking for advice on how to create a SQL Server 2005 query and line chart report for SSRS 2005.
I need to display the peak number of patients assigned to a medical practice each month for a 12 month period based on the end-user selecting a
single month and year.
I've previously created a report that displays all patients assigned to the practice for any single month but I’m looking for advice on how to
how to produce a resultset that shows the peak number of patients each month for a 12 month period. I thought about creating a query that returns the peak count for each month (based on my previously created report which displays all patients assigned to the
practice for any single month) and then use a UNION statement to join all 12 months but I'm sure that isn't the most efficient way to do this. The other challenge with this approach (twelve resultsets combined via a UNION) is that the end-user needs to be
able to select any month and year for the parameter and the report needs to display the 12 month period based on the month selected (the month selected would be the last month of the 12 month period).
For the report I’ve previously created that displays all patients assigned to the practice for any single month, the WHERE statement filters the
resultset on two fields:
Start Date - The date the patient was assigned to the practice. This field is never null or blank.
End Date - The date the patient left the practice. This field can be null or blank as active patients assigned to the practice do not have an End Date. When the patient
leaves the practice, the date the patient left is populated in this field.
Using these two fields I can return all patients assigned to the practice during Nov 2012 by looking for patients that meet the following criteria:
start date prior to 11/30/2012 (using the last day of the month selected ensures patients added mid-month would be included)
AND
end date is null or blank (indicates the patient is active) OR the end date is between 11/1/2012 -11/30/2012 (returns patients that leave during the month
selected)
Regarding the query I need to create for the report that displays the peak count each month for 12 months, I'm looking for advice on
how to count patients for each month the patient is assigned to the practice if the patient has been assigned for several months (which applies to most patients). Examples are:
John Doe has a start date of 6/01/2012 and an End Date of 10/07/2012
Sally Doe has a start date of 8/4/2012 and no End Date (the patient is still active)
Jimmy Doe has a  start of 7/3/2012 and an End Date of 9/2/2012
Given these examples how would I include John Doe in the peak monthly count each month for May - October, Sally Doe in the peak monthly count for
August - December and Jimmy Doe in the peak monthly count for July – Sept if the end-user running the report selected December 2012 as the parameter?
Given the example above and the fact I'm creating a line chart I think the best way to create this report would be a resultset that looks like
this:
Patient Name
Months Assigned
John Doe
June 2012
John Doe
July012
John Doe
Aug 2012
John Doe
Sept 2012
John Doe
Oct 2012
Sally Doe
Aug 2012
Sally Doe
Sept 2012
Sally Doe
Oct 2012
Sally Doe
Nov 2012
Sally Doe
Dec 2012
Jimmy Doe
July 2012
Jimmy Doe
Aug 2012
Jimmy Doe
Sept 2012
From the resultset above I could create another resultset that would count\group on month and year to return the peak count for each month:
June 2012 - 1
July 2012 – 2
Aug 2012 - 3
Sept 2012 - 3
Oct 2012 - 2
Nov 2012 - 1
Dec 2012 - 1
The resultset that displays the peak count for each month would be used to create the line chart (month would be the X axis and the count would
be the y axis).
Does this sound like the best approach?
If so, any advice on how to create the resultset that lists each patient and each month they were assigned to the practice would be greatly appreciated.
I do not have permissions to create SPs or Functions within the database but I can create temp tables.
I know how to create the peak monthly count query (derived from the query that lists each patient and month assigned) as well as the line chart.
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. I reviewed them shortly after they were submitted but I'm also working on other projects at the same time (hence the delayed reply).
Building a time table and doing a cross join to my original resultset gave me the desired resultset of the months assigned between dates. What I can't figure out now is how to filter months I don't want.
Doing a cross join between my original resultset that had two dates:
08/27/2010
10/24/2011
and a calendar table that has 24 rows (each month for a two year period)
my new resultset looks like this:
I need to filter the rows in yellow as the months assigned for stage 3 that started on 8/27/2010 should stop when the patient was assigned to stage 4 on 10/24/2011.
You'll notice that Jan - Sept 2011 isn't listed for Stage 4 assigned on 10/24/2011 as I included a filter in the WHERE clause that states
the Months Assigned value must be greater than or equal to the date assigned value.
Any advice would be appreciated.
