Speeding up report. Questioning time used to build rep

Using decode statement in the sql versus using functions(program units). We are using the functions to add 1 or 0 to a field based on certain criteria.
For example:
f_malemedicalformula
f_femalemedicalformula
I ran a trace and I can see the function being called many times.
I was wondering is this the most efficient way of doing this or should we use a decode statement?
I have included the trace. This querys seem to run pretty fast. It looks like a minute a peace for the querys.
I think the time came from building the report. I have since ran the query through sql optimzer and tried some alternatives. They did make
the query faster, but now I think the time it takes to render the report is mostly in the building of it. Any suggestions?

Okay thanks for the reply, that is actually a pretty good way to explain i! Am I right that if there was no edits, a dvd would encode quicker using an mpeg 2 file as source?
Don't know, never have used this workflow. Maybe someone else can answer.
I presume I used an mpeg 2 file and just cropped the last 2 minutes off the end it would again need to be re-encoded?
Yes, AFAIK. Make any change and my understanding is that the mpeg GOP (Group Of Pictures) will need to be rebuilt for the file.
My other capture device captures in mp4, so guess I will just import it direct into compressor and do any edits there, as no advantage using mpeg 2 capture.
Using compressor to trim the clips is, I guess, OK. mp4 is a much newer codec the mpeg2 so may be a better solution for your workflow. If I had the option of capturing in mpeg 2 or mp4, I'd choose mp4.
But keep checking back as someone who has more experience with may be able to give better advice.
When I wanted to move years of home DV tapes to DVD, I bought a set top DVD Recorder from Panasonic and just hooked up the camera and went directly to the DVD, pausing the recording to edit out the stuff I didn't want.

URGENT jsp report wont open in 9i builder - REP-0002 or REP-6102

Hi
I cant open a jsp file that has been opening fine all week. I was adding to the report when the display went very strange so I reverted - then it crashed and I got a REP-6102 failed to start the XML parser (its not an xml report). Now I either get REP-0002 Unable to retrieve a message string or REP-6102 as above. Tried converting to RDF and get REP-6102.
Im only building locally at the moment.

Please can somebody help.

When you create a .jsp report, Reports inserts an XML report definition in the <rw:objects> tag. This is why it appears to need an XML parser before it can open up a .jsp file.
You could try just taking this XML and saving it as a .xml file (ie: remove everything from the .jsp except the content of the <rw:objects> tag). This would at least tell you if the problem is in the XML of the JSP section of the file.
If you can open up the contents of the xml report then you could try opening the .jsp file up in JDeveloper and see if there are any inconsistencies in the file - ie: unmatched tags.
If you get an "unable to start the XML parser" error trying to open up the xml file, try creating a simple report and saving and loading to XML.

Report Generation Toolkit and App Builder question..

Hello,
I am in process of modifying my test code for writing my data to Excel. When I first developed the tests I did not have the Report Toolkit of Excel so I built the ActiveX VIs I needed. Now since I have upgraded to 7.1.1 with the MSOffice Toolkit I am rewriting my test code to use the toolkit VIs as it seems to work much better and faster then what I had done.
My question is this. Since I have my testcode distributed to multiple machines when I build my App, do I need to add every Dynamic VI within the toolkit to my App? if so is there and simple way to find exactly which dynamically called VIs are used within the toolkit VIs?
Thanks

Be careful about mixing Time Machine backups and other data on the TC's disk. That will cause conflicts, sooner or later. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for an explanation and some possible workarounds.

Query Builder - Find WEBI reports that are using a table

I am trying to find list of WEBI reports using a specific table. This specific table is used in only 1 universe.
Though I could successfully find list of reports that use this universe, I am unable to find drill down further and find the subset of reports using this table/object.
SELECT si_name, SI_KIND, si_id, SI_PARENTID,SI_AUTHOR,SI_OWNER FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS, CI_APPOBJECTS
WHERE PARENTS("SI_NAME='WEBI-UNIVERSE'","SI_NAME ='MyUniverse'")
Is it possible to find the information I am looking for using query builder.
Also, for a given WEBI report I am trying to find the list of report names and the folder they reside in:
Select SI_NAME, SI_ID, SI_PATH, SI_KIND, SI_OWNER From CI_INFOOBJECTS, CI_APPOBJECTS WHERE
PARENTS("SI_NAME='Folder Hierarchy'",
"PARENTS('SI_NAME=''WEBI-UNIVERSE'' ', 'SI_NAME=''MyUniverse'' ')" )
The above query just gives me the folder names. I am looking to find the report names as well the the folder (and preferably the path) in a single query. Is that possible.

Sri,
With respect to your 1st requirement:
In BusinessObjects 6.5 it was possible. However, post BOXIR2 this information could not be retrieved from CMS via query builder. I agree with Jorge Sosua's comment above.
With respect to your 2nd requirement:
The field 'SI_PATH' will retrieve Filestore path(physical path). If you were referring logical path(Public folder path or psuedo-reference path) will you please refer my respone to Kelly Stone at BusinessObjects Query builder queries - Part II , If this may assist you.

Urgent:How to Speed Up the Response time for PDF Report of 500 pages

hi all
i am running the 9ias on Solaris and Generating some reports
Which fetches around 50,000 records and Display them in pdf format.
When i am ruuning the Query at Database level Response time is Very fast.
But when i Run the Report in Web Browser same report takes 7-8 minutes.
So it seems that the Conversion to pdf and Displaying it takes most of time.
Does any one has idea What parameter's needs to be changed/Caching ??? /
or any other ways or methods which can be used to Reduce the Response time.
(its once a monthly Report and User need to Download all the 500 pages as
a Single Document).
Any help / suggestion please
thanks
jai

You aren't by any chance calling a function in your repeating frame that in turn goes back and queries the database, are you? If so ... don't. We regularly do 500+ page PDF-file reports, and one thing we discovered early on was that repeatedly going back to the database while generating the report output (in our case, in calculations that were being done on each line of a report) slowed the output down by an order of magnitude. Instead, we now retrieve all the data needed for each report up front (via functions or views called in the initial SQL for the report), and just use Reports to format the output. MUUUUUUUCH faster -- 200 page reports that used to take 15 minutes to complete now complete in just seconds.
One way you can visually see if this is part of your problem is to watch the report execute in the Report Queue Manager application. If it spends all its time on the "Opening" stage then breezes through each page, this is not your problem. If instead it seems to take a long time generating each page, I'd suspect that this may be at least part of your delay.

Reports i can use to confirm the CATS time transfer to PS

Hello All,
I have integrated the SAP PS with CATS and I want to know which all reports i can use to confirm the PS transfer is successful.
As soon as the CAT5 is run and time is transferred i want a report for the confirmations of the transfer is successful.
I am trying to use the CJI3 but that report is not clear because it does not give the informations on the hours transferred, and
many times i get no line items to be selected.
Why i get no line items selected when i pass the project ID in CJI3. ??

Extremely long build times using object oriented code

We have a LabVIEW application that we need to build an .exe for distrubution purposes. The application relies on several object-oriented classes for data handling and dynamic dispatch type casting and function selection. Currently it takes approximately 1.5 hours to build the application and it seems that most of the time is spent processing the object oriented files. Has anyone else seen this issue and are there any creative ways to improve the build times?

Hi again. We are still having issues using LVOOP due to extrmely long .exe build times as well as long labview loading times. I traced the source of this to one class hierarchy, shown below. This hierarchy also relies heavily on overriding top-level functions, declared as virtual VIs in the top level class, which I suspect contributes to this problem. While debugging another issue, I was trying to build a small piece of my main code into an .exe to verify its functionality and experienced the same extremely long build times. When I removed this class hierarchy from the VI, it built extremely fast. Also to be clear, I am using neither the mean function or Mean.vi anywhere in this set of code. To date we have been delighted with LVOOP and how it has made our code cleaner, mroe robust, and more maintanable. However, when creating new functionality in the code we often elect NOT to create new objects (even though they would be beneficial) because we are hesitant to introduce the extra time (load and build) required for LabVIEW to handle these classes. If our entire system was rewritten in LVOOP, I would suspect that it would become unmaintainable and unbuildable due to the LVOOP overhead. I was hoping that LV2009 would address some of these issues but, alas, it did not. Still looking for a way to improve this and thanks in advance for all of the replies.

Is there anything I can do to speed up iWeb download times?

I was wondering if I could ask the forum a couple of questions. (I have had a look through previous posts but wasn't able to find the answers I need. Apologies if my questions have been answered before).
I bought iWeb a few days ago and website building is virgin territory for me. Over the weekend I put together a site. This is albeit a skeleton site, but the final site will be pretty much the same, only with more picture and text content.
The site is primarily about displaying photographs to picture editors (etc) so fastish download times are important for me . On my G5 (with reasonable broadband), and after emptying the cache, the site opens very slowly. (Page opening times range from 5 seconds to 10 seconds). This is unfortunately far too slow for my needs.
I have tried to speed up the download times by a variety of means:
(1) Reducing the file size to 30kb jpeg files in ImageReady using 'save for web'
(2) Using the 'original size' facility in inspector.
Nothing seems to be increasing the download times to acceptable speeds.
Does anyone know what I can do, if anything?
Please check out this skeleton site at:

Any help or feedback with this would be very much appreciated.

Hi Greg,
Went to your web site. Page loading time wasn't too bad here, but I'm a photographer also and am sympathetic to your need for speed.
Here's what I found and my current ideas for speeding up page loading speed.
I grabbed two of your images and found that they were 450k png files, not 30k as mentioned plus the images, in my opinion, are soft and could be sharper.
Some iWeb observations re: Photo Pages and Image Optimization Workflow
Dropping hirez files into iWeb it will automatically "Fit Image" to 800x800px with a jpeg compression of 10.
Watching users open my web pages I've noticed and feel:
a) Alot of these folks are PC users and their display resolutions are not set as high as we use editing photos.
b). Because of this, images over 500px high cripples some users from seeing the bottom of a page and controls that may be there.
c) My current workflow includes using "Fit Image" to Width 700px and Heigth 500px.
Following are Custom and Batch Image Processing Workflows
These will work with Raw, Tif or Jpg images and will assume that you have reasonably worked up your images applying your own voodoo.
Custom Image Processing Workflow. (using smallest file, quick version)
1. Load images into Bridge
2. Edit and manually sort images into the order you want.
3. Renumber images with (sequence)(-)(Filename)
4. Use Tools->Photoshop->Image Processor
Save the files as sRGB Tiff and Fit Image H500px by 700px
5. Open images in Photoshop
6. Apply your custom image image corrections to each image
7. Sharpen the images
8. Save for Web using jpeg with medium compression.
9. Images are now ready for web use.
Using this process a couple of times you will come away with a feel for the Custom image correction and amount of sharpening and compression works best for your images.
Now you are ready to start batching images.
First create a bunch of commonly used action.
I have a "Sharpen" folder containing actions named:
30 SmartSharp
40 SmartSharp
50 SmartSharp
60 SmartSharp
etc.
Also, I have a Convert to Profile folder of actions
A Color Correct folder of actions that calls on some of my favorite nik Color Efex filters and presets.
And a "Save As" folder of actions containing
Save4Web high
Save4Web medium
--Don't let me lose you here becase here comes the good part
Create a folder of "Combined Actions" and create some useful combinations.
Example: "sRGB 50Sharp WebMedium" that calls on three of the actions previously created Convert to Profile, SmartSharpen and Save As
Now you are ready for:
Batch Image Processing Workflow
1. Load images into Bridge
2. Edit and manually sort images into the order you want.
3. Renumber images with (sequence)(-)(Filename)
4. Use Tools->Photoshop->Image Processor
Save the files as sRGB Tiff and Fit Image H500px by 700px
but this time use: Apply Action "sRGB 50Sharp WebMedium"
5. Images are now ready for web use.

How to run the same SSRS report multiple times, each time with a different parameter value?

Hi,
I have an SSRS report that produces a list of invoices for a single supplier (so supplier is a parameter specified at runtime). The report is based on a stored procedure in SQL. I would like to make things easier and instead of going through all suppliers
one by one, I want to have a single action, which produces separate reports, per supplier, for all suppliers that have an outstanding invoice (so not all suppliers on the system as a whole but all suppliers that are within the result set of the stored procedure).
I assume this would mean first executing the stored procedure to find all suppliers that have invoices at the time. And then running the report multiple times, once for each supplier, where the supplier value is used as the parameter every time. ideally
this would open separate webpages with a single report per page. (I am creating a button in another software, which is simply launching iexplore.exe and passing a
fixed SSRS report URL).
What would be required? I have SQL 2012 and I am building this in Report Builder 3.0.
Thank you!
Dimitar
P.S. What about still running ONE report, but every supplier starting on a new page? Is that more realistic? So supplier will not be a parameter any more, but just something that creates a new page on the report?

What
about still running ONE report, but every supplier starting on a new page? Is that more realistic? So supplier will not be a parameter any more, but just something that creates a new page on the report?
Yes thats a much better option. Its very easy to generate such a report in SSRS. You dont need a parameter
in that case but just needs to add Supplier as a grouping field in the tablix. Then add other columns and groups if required. Select option set page break after each instance of the group for first grouping (ie based on supplier field). Then report will render
with one page per supplier. On exporting to excel also each supplier data goes to a different tab
Here's a similar requirement I did for one of my projects
