Speed Issue of Running ICP Reports

Question

Dear HFM Professionals,
Have anyone encountered ICP Report running too slow? In our case, it took 5 to 40 min, is that normal?
Here are our specs:
CPU: E5450 3.0GHz*2
RAM: 24G
Entity Dimension involving ICP: around 135
Account Dimension involving ICP: around 250
For example: Group1(138 base members, USD)_Group2(138 base members, EUR) ICP Report (Report Currency: JPY, Account: 250 base members) can last to 40
min........
I believe there are many cases with more complex ICP Reports, so hope I can get some solutions for our case. Thanks.

You should absolutely upgrade to 9.3.1.2.00 servic pack at a minimum and Oracle recommends 9.3.1.4.00 right now.
There were a few enhancements for this specific issue done in service fixes on 9.3.1.1.00 that are included in 9.3.1.2.00.
Specifically 9.3.1.1.07 which addressed the following:
Issues:
In Intercompany Matching System Report, when running a report that requires currency translations, the report is slow, and translated values are being written to the database, unnecessarily increasing database size.
This service fix will allow currency translations for ICM System reports to be controlled by a registry setting. The following options are available:
· Use existing translation logic – Uses Sub Translate in rules, and commits changes to the database. This is the default setting, if no registry entry is specified.
· On-the-fly, use rules – Uses Sub Translate in rules, but no changes are written to the database. Parent Entities in CN status are translated.
· On-the-fly, use default translation – Only executes default translation (no Sub Translate). No changes are written to the database
