Tuning search server cache settings

In search cluster manager under WCI Administration utilities in WCI Portal console, we see a warning msgs as below:
-Docset cache size used does not match the recommended size for this configuration
-Index cache size used does not match the recommended size for this confguration
How to tune the search server cache settings?

Actually, I think these configurations should be done (in WCI 6.5 or higher) in the configuration.xml located in /alui/settings.

Server cache settings

Hi Experts,
Where can i find out the properties of iviews like..
whether iview is using server side caching and server caching time out and iview server related properties.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Karthick

Hi Karthick,
The following retrieves the settings that determine:
whether the iView can be cahced on the client (browser)
whether the iView is cached on the server
how long the cache is valid for
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_SEMANTICS);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
InitialContext iCtx = null;
String iView = "portal_content/DanielContent/Corporate";
try {
 iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
 IiView myIview = (IiView)iCtx.lookup(iView);
 response.write(myIview.getAttribute(IAttrPcmLaunch.ATTRIBUTE_ALLOW_BROWSER) + " ");
 response.write(myIview.getAttribute(IAttrPcmLaunch.ATTRIBUTE_CACHING_LEVEL) + " ");
 response.write(myIview.getAttribute(IAttrPcmLaunch.ATTRIBUTE_VALIDITY_PERIOD) + " ");
catch(Exception e) {
 response.write ("SYSTEM: error in binding"+ " " + e.getLocalizedMessage() + " "+ e.getMessage() + " "+ e.toString() + " ");
Hope this helps.

How does presentation server cache shared by users and roles in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7

We are running through a scenario where user1 is assigned to role1 and run a report and after couple minutes user1 is assigned to role2 and run the same report, in 2nd run i see an error in saw log, even though there is presentation server cache that was generated by user1 is previous run it s not shared to the same user if his roles is chnaged, Is this expected behaviour ? by the way we dont have any row level security jut object level

The variable DISABLE_CACHE_HIT is used to enable or disable Oracle BI Server result cache hits and not the presentation server cache. So the behavior seems to be correct. You can manage the presentation server cache settings in hte instanceconfig.xml file. Refer to the documentation below to understand the parameters you can configure: ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10541/querycaching.htm#i1218900 )

Essbase server heap settings/Cache?

Hi There,
I am on AIX and I am using Essbase 11.1.2.2 and I need to know if there is any settings/parameter which I can update in terms of RAM or Cache settings for Essbase so that I can get enhanced performance and response from my Essbase server.

Try increasing the Java Heap size . Its a process in which you need to create registers . Check for any documentation .

Search Server 2010 Express: Open a PDF document from list of search results invokes adobe reader client application with error

Hi community,
I set up search server 2010 express on a windows 2008 r2 server.
The Adobe PDF iFilter 9 64 bit is installed and search is correctly configured to find PDF-files.
When doing a search and clicking on a link of the result page, the PDF is not opened in the browser, instead the adobe reader XI client application (11.0.04) is invoked and an error raised like "could not open document .. check syntax of url..."
Right click on a link to open in new tab works fine. And PDF-Files from other arbitrary Internet Sites opens in browser correctly. Moreover when configure Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 as default application on the client it also open in Browser correctly.
I noticed googling the web there are several challenges when dealing with PDF-files in sharepoint. The following settings are made so far:
1. In IE: Add-On to open PDF in Browser is enabled for all sites.
2. Client Integration is enabled
3. The OpenControl attribute in the DOCICON.xml is left empty OpenControl="" for the pdf entry.
4. The Browser File Handling is set to "Permissive".
Please feel free to ask for more information if needed.
I appreciate any help on this. I don't know what to do further.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply.
Before responding to your points I want to give a little more context:
We have an intranet based on pure html and a little aspx containing many of those pdf- files. By clicking on the links in the intranet the files open correctly in browser handled by the adobe plugin. Now we set up this search server crawling the file system
accessed through a share to the root folder of the intranet. In the search server settings a host mapping rule is applied to replace the file://[share] with http://[intranet host+domain+port] to access files over http.
And now to answer your question. The resulting urls are the same, copying the link from intranet and copying the link from the search result (except some case issues).
The event viewer not seem to show any errors on this, though I'm not very familiar using it.
If any further information are from interest and any ideas come to your mind - please let me know.
Thanks.

Properly and accurately calculating application cache settings

Hello everyone.
We are running Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.1 and one of the dataforms we have set up is quite heavy (it includes several DynamicCalc members with considerable ammount of scripting) and it fails to load from time to time, just saying "Cannot open dataform X. Check logs" and such.
I have tried to increase cache sizing in the databases of the Essbase application (right clic on each database > edit > properties > caches), as well as buffer sizes and commit blocks.
Little by little I have managed to improve performance by modifying the above mentioned caches (it crashes less often), but still I guess it's nuts to infinitely increase caches to make sure it works.
So, my question is: Is there a way to calculate the accurate cache settings for a given application?
My current settings are:
Buffer size: 200 KB
Short buffer size: 200 KB
Index cache setting: 30720 KB
Data file cache setting: 61440 KB
Data cache setting: 51200 KB
Commit blocks: 30000
Do you think these are accurate?
Thanks a lot,
G.S.Feliu

You haven't really provided enough information to be honest, for example are you running a 64bit system?
But that is rhetorical, as usual the first port of call is the DBAG. I don't see why a link should be posted, you must have access to it already if you're administering a production system. That will point out things like that the Data file cache setting is only relevant if Direct I/O is being used and that the index size should be at least as big as the file if memory allows.
Commit blocks....is interesting, personally I have set it to 0 in some projects and seen some improvement but as usual testing is the key.
However their is a performance tuning guide out there that you may find very useful:
https://blogs.oracle.com/pa/entry/epm_11_1_2_epm1
that focuses on the infrastructure a bit more. Bit complicated though and I would thoroughly recommend recording a set of benchmarks before applying any of those changes, and applying said changes one by one or you'll never know what is good and what is not so good.
Learn from the pain others have already endured ;-)
Good Luck

Search Server 2010 Express Help Button doesn't work

I installed Search Server 2010 Express to crawl our file shares and give our users a decent full text search capability and it's working well. I noticed that the initial search page that comes up, where you would type in your search string, has a little
blue question mark icon at the top right of the page. When I click on that, it pops up a window and inside the window it says "Help content cannot be displayed".
I found some info that pointed me to Site Actions, Site Settings, Site Collection Administration, Help Settings. When I go here and click on the link for Help Settings, it comes back with, "An unexpected error has occurred".
I also found a link that said to reinstall help files by using the following SP Powershell command:
Install-SPHelpCollection -LiteralPath 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\14\HCCab\1033\MS.Wss.HC.Cab'
I try this and it says Source not found, even though I can confirm the path to the cab is correct and my user has permissions to see that file.
Can anyone help me with my Help button here? I have to give a demo for our users on how to use the Search Server, I know someone is going to click on the Help button link and it's going to say "Help content cannot be displayed" and then ask
me about it. I want to get it working. Thanks.

What does the powershell-command below return?

Search Server installation issue

Dear all,
I installed Peoplesoft HRMS 9.1 with Peopletools 8.52.11 on a Windows 2008 x64 server and Oracle 11G database.
I'm installing the Search Server now from PSAdmin.
After setting the configuration, I try to boot the server, it is giving me the following error:
exec GWADM -A -o ".\LOGS\stdout" -e ".\LOGS\stderr":
Failed
tmboot CMDTUX_CAT:827: ERROR: Fatal error encountered; initiating user error handler
tmshutdown -qy
I tried deleting the cache, Cleaning IPC, I even opened the port (7778) and restarted the server, and I'm still getting the same issue.
The Search server log doesn't show any error, but the Tuxedo log file shows the following error:
CMDGW_CAT:3250: Error: Cannot send config to GWADM group=GWTGROUP
LIBTUX_CAT:250: Error: tpsvrinit() failed
CMDTUX_CAT:825: ERROR: Process GWADM at PSDEMOVM failed with /T tperrno (TPESVCFAIL - application level service failure)

CMDGW_CAT:1655: INFO: DMADMSVR is exiting
CMDTUX_CAT:26: INFO: The BBL is exiting system

Any help is much appreciated.
Thx

Fixed it.
I had put the port wrong in the configuration.
Thanks.

Data Cache Settings

Hello,
I am coming up with the spreadhseet retreival error very frequently and get Essbase Error 1130203. I went through the Error interpretation and found that Data Cache might be causing it. Here are the details of cache settings on my

Hi,
1. For error no 1130203, here are the possible problems and solutions, straight from document.
Try any of the following suggestions to fix the problem. Once you fix the problem, check to see if the database is corrupt.
1. Check the physical memory on the server computer. In a Windows environment, 64 MB is the suggested minimum for one database. In a UNIX environment, 128 MB is the suggested minimum for one database. If the error keeps occuring, add more memory to the server computer.
2. If you are on a UNIX computer, check the user limit profile.
3. Check the block size of the database. If necessary, reduce the block size.
4. Check the data cache and data file cache setting. If necessary, decrease the data cache and data file cache sizes.
5. Make sure that the Analytic Services computer has enough resources. Consult the Analytic Services Installation Guide for a list of system requirements. If a resource-intensive application, such as a relational database, is running on the same computer, the resource-intensive application may be using the resources that Analytic Services needs

You have posted the same question on the essbase forum > Data Cache Settings
You are more likely to get more responses on the essbase forum to this question.
From the docs
Error - 1130203
Essbase is unable to allocate memory.
Possible solutions
Try any of these suggestions to fix the problem. After you fix the problem, determine whether the database is corrupt (see Checking for Database Corruption).
Check the physical memory on the server computer. In a Windows environment, 64 MB is the suggested minimum for one database. In a UNIX environment, 128 MB is the suggested minimum for one database. If the error keeps occurring, add more memory to the server computer.
If you are on a UNIX computer, check the user limit profile (see Checking the User Limit Profile).
Check the block size of the database. If necessary, reduce the block size.
Check the data cache and data file cache setting. If necessary, decrease the data cache and data file cache sizes.
Ensure that the Essbase computer has enough resources. Consult the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation Start Here for system requirements. If a resource-intensive application, such as a relational database, is running on the same computer, the resource-intensive application may be using the resources that Essbase needs.

BW cache settings and WebI

Hello,
we're trying to tune the BW cache for WebI queries, we'd like to change the default cache settings for a number of queries, including ones used for BO universes.
I'd like to know if this changes will be picked and used by WebI or if it is not sensitive to such changes (Cache Mode and Persistence Mode).
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Pablo,
I haven't tried yet but the OLAP cache should be used by WebI when it accesses the queries. You can ensure it does in transaction RSRCACHE by looking at the last access of a cached query. Could also look at the BI stats (if you have installed them and turned then on of course).
Regarding the cache settings, I would personally recommend using the persistent cache (across App Servers if you have more than one app server) into a Cluster table (or Transparent table if the data set is quite large). Can find more details here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/d9/31363dc992752de10000000a114084/frameset.htm
You could also look into MDX cache instead of OLAP cache, but I haven't played with it yet so I'm not sure it would help with WebI. Anyone else did?
Hope it helps...

Cache settings impact

Hi experts,
I d like to know if cache settings in a cube have impact on the retreival performance as well?? or it impacts only the calcs performance ??
tried searching the forum but cud nt find a solution

Hi Dave,
Good question,
1) Calculations performance depends on your cache ettings.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/frameset.htm?maxl_export.html
2) Retrieval performance is based on member storage properties.
Also cache settings impact your calculation performance as well retrieval performance.
Thanks.

EP Server caching

Dear Friends,
Is there any option for configuring EP Server Caching.
Thanks.
Jack

The portal has a caching service that supports content caching for a page/iView on the portal server. In addition, it can implement content caching on the client machine using the browsers caching capabilities. Configure caching properties for pages/iViews at design time. Depending on your configuration, the portal can cache content as follows:
On the portals server
The generated content or output of an iView can be stored in the servers cache using the portal caching capabilities. Doing so saves time and the resources required to regenerate the content when the iView is called on subsequent requests.
On the clients browser cache
Using the portal caching capabilities on the client minimizes network traffic and displays content faster, as the content is taken from the browsers cache. The browser uses an HTTP conditional request to check whether content in its cache is still valid. If the content in the cache has expired, it is discarded and replaced with content retrieved from the server.
You can activate the following cache settings for pages/iViews:
CacheLevel
CacheValidityPeriod
AllowClientSideCaching etc
lot more...
see following link for more details

Standalone report server suggested settings

Hi,
How should I configure the Oracle Reports Server 10.1.2.3 so that performance will become better? How would you suggest to configure parameters such as engines, timeout, etc.? Reports will be called purely by using the standalone report server.
Thanks.
Andy

I would have to point you to the documentation, chapter/section 20.2 Tuning Reports Server Configuration ...
Oracle® Application Server Reports Services
Publishing Reports to the Web
10g Release 2 (10.1.2)
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/bi.1012/b14048.pdf
As a general rule, I would increase cache size and set the number engines based on the number of CPU available for the report server ... go over chapter/section 20.2 - this is what you can do in your reports server configuration, there are more things to take into consideration, like PL/SQL, SQL, for that review the rest of chapter 20...

Trying to link SharePoint 2010 Enterprise with SharePoint 2013 Search Server raises error

Hi,
I am currently working for a multinational who has SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition installed, 2 WFE SERVERS, 3 APP SERVERS, 1 DB SERVER. They also installed SharePoint 2013 Exterprise recently.
 Microsoft have recently come in and set up the SharePoint 2013 Search Server to crawl content in SharePoint 2010 as the replacement search to SharePoint 2010 Search. So they have gone through process of certificates and permissions
setups I guess. I was told it was working, but recently failed. When I type in the search box on a web site for SharePoint 2010 I get the message:
 The search request was unable to connect to the Search Service.
I checked the Event log and the Critical error (in Task Category:Timer) I get is the notorious:
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.CrawlReportJobDefinition (ID fa882704-80d9-415b-9b9d-eae5e9bdefd4) threw an exception. More information is included below.
 The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration
 component. Verify that the administration component 'e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-
 e5431a180c2b' in search application 'Search_Service_Application' is in a good state and
 try again.
I know administration component is the crawler. I am assuming this is permissions.
The SharePoint 2013 Search Server is picking up SharePoint 2010 site collections items fine i.e. The SharePoint 2013 search shows items from 2010 as expected.
On the SharePoint 2010 central admin box the search service enabled and running (checked with powershell). (SharePoint Server Search 14)
The Search Service id: e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-e5432a180c2b
I also get the message in event log for gatherer on SharePoint 2010 CA and Search Server:
 Could not access the Search database. A generic error occurred while trying to access the database to obtain
 the schema version info.
 Context: Application 'e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-e5431a180c2b'

Is this permissions to delete something from crawler??????
I would appreciate if someone could help on this. I have tried to be as concise as possible.
Thanks.

It was a case that someone had fiddled with the Service App Associations. Hadn't ticked SharePoint 2013 search. Was still point at 2010. Thanks.
The SharePoint 2013 Search works correctly for SharePoint 2010.
Can someone confirm that the Search Service Application on SharePoint 2010 still needs to exist and hence SharePoint Server Search 14 Service still needs to be running? I am guessing it would as you search from 2010 interface not 2013. I am getting a critical
error in the Event Viewer:
CrawlReportJobDefinition (Id <SharePoint 2010 Crawler>)
The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component <crawler id> in search application "Search Service Application" is in a good state and try
again.
I think this is related to the fact we have SharePoint 2013 doing the search instead of 2010.
Any ideas?
John.
