Slow Analyzer Performance
I would like to ask about slow performance for the Analyzer client (java) on the users' workstations (startup, shutdown/logoff, jumping between reports, etc). Logoff can sometimes take 5 minutes and eats my CPU. We're currently using Java version 1.3.1_09, but have tried other versions; and we're running the latest Analyzer 6.5.0.1 and Essbase 6.5.4. Is there a diagnostic, or file to change to enhance performance for the users? We've monitored the workstations and it appears that their CPUs max at 100% for several seconds when you click a button before making updates to the reports. At this point, we are considering other user interfaces/applications. (around 10 seconds for simple report changes, up to 300 seconds to logout, 75 seconds to go to Home, etc). The database appears fine, just the client performance is of great concern. Thank you, Les
Hi,We use the following products: Essbase 6.1.4, Analyzer version 6.1.1, Java Version: 1.3.0_02, WebSphere 3.5.5, DB2 7.2.This version of product are the best one for as. Migrating to upper levels of version always produces us some problems with code-pages and foreign characters (non-american characters). That is big problem for us. We are trying to migrate to upper level version but above problems always appears.About prerformance: We are just having problems with starting up Analyzer java web client. It takes about 30 secounds. Opening report is just 2 to 3 secounds. The same time for storing reports. Problem only appears if we open more then 10 reports (or opening the report group). Try to minimize the quantity of reports opened at the time.Also check if the Analyzer runs on very slow client computers. This can be problem. Running on faster client PC it can speed up the loading.According to your description there are probably some problems on server site (also check network). On server (database server, application server, etc) check if the pageing (swaping) accours. On Windows check with Task Manager on unix check with vmstat command. Pageing is not good at all!Locate te problem: Is the problem on Analyzer server? Is the problem on Essbase server, or database server or application server. Are there some operating system problems (see swaping tips above). Are there some hardware problems, etc. Try to use Excel with its add-in to check if the problem is on Analyzer or Essbase.At client try using the java 1.3.0_02 (this version of java client is recomended). You can find this java at original Analyzer server CD or on Sun web page. I have try to use some other versions of java, but I notices some freezing problems. If you are not from America you have to use international version of java. On Analyzer CD there are two versions: american one and international one (international one has the "i" word in exe file).You didn't specify the operating system you use (Windows, Unix,etc)? What application server do you use? What is the database type and version? All this things can impact on performance. I am only familar with above described products. So if you have any other installation, then I can't help you.Hope this helps,Grofaty

T520 - 42435gg / Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance with Intel Rapid Storage AHCI Driver
Hi everybody,
I have serious Problems with my 42435gg
Any time I install the Intel Storage AHCI Driver (I've tried plenty of different versions) which is suggested by System Update I experience a horrible Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance in Windows 7 64-Bit.
The funny thing in this case: If the external e-sata port is connected the problems do not occur. If the port is unused again, the stutter begins immediately.
The only thing I can do is using the Windows internal Storage Driver with which I am not able to use my DVD recorder for example.
The device was sent to lenovo for hardware testing with no result. It was sent back without any repairing.
Anybody experience on this?
Kind regards,
DanielDid you try the 11.5 RST beta? Load up DPClat and see if DPC conditions are favorable.
What are you using to check graphics performance?

Transaction SAT - Analyze Performance of Classes
Hi,
is it possible to analyze performance of classes directly? In transaction SAT, I'm only able to execute Transaction, Program, or Function Module. How can I analyze performance using transaction SAT of classes without writing a program?
The editors of Tips and Tricks are not editable in my system.
Thanks.
/Björn-HenrikHi,
how would you test / run your classes / methods without writing a program?
Whatever transaction you use for that you can trace. Use the "Explicit Switching on and off measurement" setting in
the trace variant.
The principle is explained here for ST12 (which can't trace function modules) and the "particular unit" setting which
is exactly the same as the "Explicit Switching on and off measurement" setting.
ST12 - tracing function modules
Hope this helps,

Firefox 4 is extremely slow to perform any function on my lap top compared to previous versions. Why? And how do I change this!
Firefox 21 and Firefox 22 running on Windows 7 have been reported to take a long time to "wake up" from sleep. I realize hibernation is different than sleep, but... this is the closest match for your description.
Some users have reported that this problem is resolved in Firefox 23 (currently in beta). Others have had inconsistent luck with minimizing Firefox before letting Windows sleep and other measures.
Please check out this (very long) thread for more information: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898 browser freezes after resuming from sleep]
Or jump to the part about Firefox 23: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898?page=3#answer-457321
The fact that this just started recently suggests perhaps it is related to another program or update, but I don't think anyone has confirmed the exact interaction that causes the problem. -
Kapsel Fiori Client (FC): self-built iOS FC shows very slow UI performance
Hi Experts,
I have used KapselSDK to build our own FC using:
SMP3.0 KapselSDK SP07_PL00
Cordova 3.6.3
Xcode 6.2
OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite
Enterprise distribution certificate for deplyment
.ipa for iPhone4S, 5 (tested)
ipd also inside Airwatch (tested)
App config:
SMP proxy is not used.
The issue:
We use FC to launch the Fiori Launchpad where there are some Fiori apps. The problem is that after type usr pwd, it took very long time to see the Launchpad UI. Tried the standard FC from Apple Store, and it worked very fast.
Does anyone have any idea? I see some info about the slow UI performance for Android devices which can be solved using crosswalk, but my understanding is that crosswalk is not for iOS.
Thanks.
DongHave you tired testing the same URL through Mobile Safari to see if it is slow also?
We have had reports of slowness on iOS and we are researching. The details are iOS uses HTTP pipelining when the connection is slow. This means iOS bundles several requests (2-3 to our observations) together but the ICM does only response to one of them and ignores the others. After a timeout of about 1 minute (transparent to the FLP) the Safari automatically repeats the ignored requests. It may happen that this happens a second time, but not a third time – then the requests are not repeated anymore. Seems to happen in Mobile Safari Browser more often than Fiori Client and doesn't happen in Mobile Chrome on same device.
Thanks,

EXTREMELY SLOW XQUERY PERFORMANCE AND SLOW DOCUMENT INSERTS
EXTREMELY SLOW XQUERY PERFORMANCE AND SLOW DOCUMENT INSERTS.

### Complete Problem Description ###
A test file is being used to do inserts into a schemaless XML DB. The file is inserted and then links are made to 4
different collection folders under /public. The inserts are pretty slow (about
15 per second and the file is small)but the xquery doesn't even complete when
there are 500 documents to query against.
The same xquery has been tested on a competitors system and it has lightening fast performance there. I know it
should likewise be fast on Oracle, but I haven't been able to figure out what
is going on except that I suspect somehow a cartesian product is the result of
the query on Oracle.
### SQLXML, XQUERY, PL/SQL syntax used ###
Here is the key plsql code that calls the DBMS_XDB procedures:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "XDB"."RESOURCEARRAY" AS VARRAY(500) OF VARCHAR2(256);
PROCEDURE AddOrReplaceResource(
resourceUri VARCHAR2,
resourceContents SYS.XMLTYPE,
public_collections in ResourceArray
) AS
b BOOLEAN;
privateResourceUri path_view.path%TYPE;
resource_exists EXCEPTION;
pragma exception_init(resource_exists,-31003);
BEGIN
/* Store the document in private folder */
privateResourceUri := GetPrivateResourceUri(resourceUri);
BEGIN
b := dbms_xdb.createResource(privateResourceUri, resourceContents);
EXCEPTION
WHEN resource_exists THEN
DELETE FROM resource_view WHERE equals_path(res, privateResourceUri)=1;
b := dbms_xdb.createResource(privateResourceUri, resourceContents);
END;
/* add a link in /public/<collection-name> for each collection passed in */
FOR i IN 1 .. public_collections.count LOOP
BEGIN
dbms_xdb.link(privateResourceUri,public_collections(i),resourceUri);
EXCEPTION
WHEN resource_exists THEN
dbms_xdb.deleteResource(concat(concat(public_collections(i),'/'),resourceUri));
dbms_xdb.link(privateResourceUri,public_collections(i),resourceUri);
END;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
FUNCTION GetPrivateResourceUri(
resourceUri VARCHAR2
) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
BEGIN
return concat('/ems/docs/',REGEXP_SUBSTR(resourceUri,'[a-zA-z0-9.-]*$'));
END;
### Info for XML Querying ###
Here is the XQuery and a sample of the output follows:
declare namespace c2ns="urn:xmlns:NCC-C2IEDM";
for $cotEvent in collection("/public")/event
return
<cotEntity>
{$cotEvent}
{for $d in collection("/public")/c2ns:OpContextMembership[c2ns:Entity/c2ns:EntityIdentifier
/c2ns:EntityId=xs:string($cotEvent/@uid)]
return
$d
</cotEntity>
Sample output:

Does loading too many classes into jvm slow down performance?
hi all,
does loading too many classes into jvm will slow down performance. Our application is CPU bound, if we use any framework we need to load all the classes related to that framework in JVM. Does this have any effect on the performance of the JVM.
thanks and regards,
akmaldoes loading many classes into jvm slow down performance.It will increase the time it takes for the JVM to load your application.
Our application is CPU boundThe time it takes the JVM to load your application is not likely to be an issue for you then. -
Jdbc thin driver bulk binding slow insertion performance problem
Hello All,
We have a third party application reporting slow insertion performance, while I traced the session and found out most of elapsed time for one insert execution is sql*net more data from client, it appears bulk binding is being used here because one execution has 200 rows inserted. I am wondering whether this has something to do with their jdbc thin driver(10.1.0.2 version) and our database version 9205. Do you have any similar experience on this, what other possible directions should I explore?
here is the trace report from 10046 event, I hide table name for privacy reason.
Besides, I tested bulk binding in PL/SQL to insert 200 rows in one execution, no problem at all. Network folks confirm that network should not be an issue as well, ping time from app server to db server is sub milisecond and they are in the same data center.

Continued SLOW online performance after two Archive & Installs
Hi.
I have been living with slow online performance – pages slow to load, movies very slow to load, movies don't play back smoothly, constant buffering – for some 3-4 months before trying to do something about it... (this timeline coincides with a potential Security Update 2008-006 issue discussed here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1730909&tstart=0 , but I don't have enough savvy to know if that's the problem.)
Equivalent slow performance in both Safari and Firefox... I've compared the same sites I visit on other peoples workstations, PC and Mac, various ISPs – all of their pages and movies light up and play instantly.
Tried to research and do as much as I could before coming here, but I don't have great diagnostic skills... here's what I've got so far:
By late November, I managed to eliminate the ISP (Earthlink) as a cause of the problem... however, due to their direction to change DNS numbers, I can no longer automatically connect online upon booting, but must repeatedly connect via Internet Connect (separate issue?)... via these forums, I've reset the DNS to 208.67.220.220, 208.67.222.222.
Neither hard drive is even half full.
I did an initial Disk and Permissions Repair prior to first A&I... they needed repair then, but subsequent verifications check out clean.
After the first A&I (using the original OS X 10.4 install disk), I downloaded a complete full 10.4.11 update, including all current Security Updates... performance wound up much the same as before.
After the second A&I, and before any updating, I tested online performance – still slow... this time I downloaded only the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combined Update from November 07, looking to avoid the 2008-006 Security Update... general browsing speed is slightly improved, but any site with a movie or rich graphics behaves like dial-up, as before... Mail is just ok – not fast, but not problematic.
Otherwise, the Mac works well enough, but it's never been a real speed-burner, imo... mainstream graphics apps (Adobe CS2, Quark 6)... the only atypical thing I might have is a Wacom graphics tablet (Intuos 3), but it's always worked fine... no games or brand-X playtime software.
The only other thing I'd be suspicious of is Network Settings, after getting the runaround at Earthlink... but the fact that I can get online at all might rule that out.
I've been at this for days, and am out of ideas... little help?
Thanx.OK, network settings is the scary stuff that I DO NOT understand...

I found the PPPoE subpane.
Made the New location, it seemed to work briefly, then didn't, then I fumbled my way back to prior settings... I'm willing to try it again, BUT...
What scared me was that after setting New Location, the browser window opened to something called *Internet Configurator*, never seen this before... it asked for my email and password... is this normal?... I've got major privacy and security concerns and DO NOT want to put that password out there if I don't have to.
Please advise before I do this... thanks. -
SLOW report performance with bind variable
Environment: 11.1.0.7.2, Apex 4.01.
I've got a simplified report page where the report runs slowly compared to running the same query in sqldeveloper. The report region is based on a pl/sql function returning a query. If I use a bind variable in the query inside apex it takes 13 seconds to run, and if I hard code a string it takes only a few hundredths of a second. The query returns one row from a table which has 1.6 million rows. Statistics are up-to-date and the columns in the joins and where clause are indexed.
I've run traces using p_trace=YES from Apex for both the bind variable and hard coded strings. They are below.
The sqldeveloper explain plan is identical to the bind variable plan from the trace, yet the query runs in 0.0x seconds in sqldeveloper.
What is it about bind variable syntax in Apex that is causing the bad execution plan? Apex Bug? 11g bug? Ideas?
tkprof output from Apex trace with bind variable is below...

The optimizer must be peeking at my bind variables with it's eyes closed. I'm the only one testing and I've never passed %anything as a bind value. :)
Here's what I've learned since my last post:
I don't think that sqldeveloper is actually using the explain plan it says it is. When I run explain plan in sqldeveloper (with a bind variable) it shows me the exact same plan as Apex with a bind variable. However, when I run autotrace in sqldeveloper, it takes a path that matches the hard coded values, and returns results in half a second. That autotrace run is consistent with actually running the query outside of autotrace. So, I think either sqldeveloper isn't really using bind variables, OR it is using them in some other way that Apex does not, or maybe optimizer peeking works in sqldeveloper?
Using optimizer hints to tweak the plan helps. I've tried both /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ and /*+ index(ps pk_persons) */ and both drop the query to about a second. However, I'm loath to use hints because of the very dynamic nature of the query (and Tom Kyte doesn't like them either). The hints may end up hurting other variations on the query.
I also tested the query by wrapping it in a select count(1) from ([long query]) and testing the performance in sqldeveloper and in Apex. The performance in that case is identical with both bind variables and hard coded variables for both Apex and SqlDeveloper. That to me was very interesting and I went so far as to set up two bind variable report regions on the same page. One region wrapped the long query with select count(1) from (...) and the other didn't. The wrapped query ran in 0.01 seconds, the unwrapped took 15ish seconds with no other optimizations. Very strange.
To get performance up to acceptable levels I have changed my function returning query to:
1) Set the equality operator to "=" for values without wildcards and "like" for user input with wildcards. This makes a HUGE difference IF no wildcard is used.
2) Insert a /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ hint when users chose the column that requires the sub-query. This obviously changes the optimizer's plan and improves query speed from 15 seconds to 1.5 seconds even with wildcards.
I will NOT be hard coding any user supplied values in the query string. As you can probably tell by the query, this is an application where sql injection would be very bad.
Jeff, regarding your question about "like '%' || :P71_SEARCH_SOURCE1 || '%'". I've found that putting wildcards around values, particularly at the beginning will negate any indexing on the column in question and slows performance even more.
I'm still left wondering if there isn't something in Apex that is breaking the optimizer "peeking" that Patrick describes. Perhaps something in the way it switches contexts from apex_public_user to the workspace schema? -
Installation of Yosemite 10.10.1 has severely slowed performance of my Mac Mini. Tales a long time to start, and a very long time to start any apps.
