Webi Processing Server _ Performance Settings.

Hi all,
How to modify the Wb Intelligence Processing Server Performance Settings in BO XI3.1
Thanks
Reddeppa k

Hi,
you can change the webi processing server settings by logging on the CMC (URL: http://<name of your BOBJ server>/CmcApp as administrator. Just invoke the "servers" panel and select your web intelligence processing server. Over the context menu (left mouse button) select the option "properties". You can modify several parameters there. For more information look in the BOE administration guide:
[http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_bip_admin_en.pdf]
You have to restart the webi server (invoke again the context menu and select Restart Server) so that the new settings will be applied.

Webi processing server down when executing on bw query

Hi there,
I have an OLAP universe built on a BW query, which in turn is built on DSO. It returns around 100k records. If 20 objects are included in the webi query, the webi processing server will be down, with status of "starting..." (checked in CMC).
However, if I build a universe on the active table of DSO directly, the webi query executes perfectly even with 180 objects included.
I understand the performance difference between this two approach and it's acceptable. But the behavior of webi processing server is not acceptable. Does anybody else have this issue too?
My env is BOE XI 3.1 SP2
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
you should be at least on BW 7.01 SP05. Before that there is a 1 million cell limit in the interface and 100.000 Rows x 20 items is more than 1 million

Need web intelligence server memory threshold settings for SAP BO BI XI4.0

Hi,
We have found that WIreportserver.exe process taking high memory in our BO systems. We are in SAP Business objects XI 4.0 SP 07 Patch 2 version now.
We have found that the Web intelligence server memory threshold settings to be changed in case of these issues.
But there are no documents that says about the recommended settings for SAP BO BI XI 4.0 version.
The XI 3.1 recommendations(SAP Note:1544103 ) can not be taken as its a 32bit server and the X14.0 is a 64 bit one.
Please let me know the recommended settings for web intelligence server memory threshold settings SAP BO BI XI 4.0 version or any SAP note that says about it.
Any suggestions/ recommendations are welcomed that will fix the issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sithara.S

Hi Henry,
PFB the answers inline:
which setting are you referring to?
There is settings for 'Web Intelligence Server Memory Threshold Settings' where we will set values for memory max threshold,memory lower threshold and memory upper threshold values .You can check the SAP note 1544103 which says the settings , but its applicable for 3.1.
and which ones have you changed already?
We have not done any changes in settings yet. We are actually searching for the recommended values.
what errors / symptom are you trying to avoid?
We are facing issue in 'WIreportserver.exe' occupying 100% memory.
Please suggest and let me know if any other information is needed.

Ensure that a webi processing server is dedicated to a certain publication

Hi there
I'am working on setting up a BO XI 3.1 sp6 cluster. I would like to ensure that heavy monthly publications will run correctly even if one or many users launch very long report s at the same time. ( both DESKI ans WEBI)
The idea was to define a servers group and to dedicate our montly publications to these group. But it seems that it is not possible to prevent other publications to use servers of this group and overload them.
Is there a workaround, or at least a way to reduce the probability of such a problem?
thanks in advance for ideas!

Hi Irfan,
Thanks for taking time to answer.
I already considered the actions you describe, but I concluded that it was not a solution.
But, maybe I'm wrong!
For instance if my monthly publication start at 20:00, It will use the defined webi processing server in the "pubServerGroup".
If some users launch a heavy refresh or "instant scheduled" at 19:54, he may use the very webi Processing Server as it could be the "first available server".
In fact I'm afraid that this will reduce the efficiency of the default load balancing system.
Or, maybe, when a publication is scheduled at 20:00 its server group is flagged as “non available” even a few minutes before? It is not very likely, is it?
regards
Marc

BO4 - 30270+ Frequent webi processing server crashes/processing server stopped unexpectedly

Hi ,
We are seeing relatively frequent 30270 error messages - when check event logs often see them preceded by webi porcessing server stopped unexpectedly messages.
Have split the aps as per best practice and have 4 webi processing servers ( 2 on each node)
Any thoughts?

Hi Philip,
I can feel like few of the heavy webi reports in your environment causing webi processing server down.
1) first we need to find which reports are causing the issue.
2) Enable monitoring to know the failure status of WIPC by email
3) Try to enable audit and capture the reports which are consuming more data and running when WIPS moved to stopped state
Then you will come to know the report with help of audit .
I have noticed the similar issue and noticed few reports which are retrieving more no of records and More no input cantrols in the report caused WIPS down.

WebI Processing server 4.0 and its common services

Hello there.
Tried to search here as well in SAP notes area, but did not find anything useful. Problem here is that the default WebI processing server was deleted and when I'm trying to create it from a scratch it allows to add only single service, for example: WebIntelligence Core service or WebIntelligence Common service etc.
By default WebI pro server consists of Core, Processing,Common, Information Engine service... ok the last one can be added to APS server, but how to get tose 3 Core/Common/Processing to single server, I can't add them from a list because it's empty. I do not want to recreate the SIA node, but the problem here is that one of those services consuming huge amount of memory...more than 6GB of mem and I do not see the switch how to turn it out.
many thanks in advance

Hi again
I do not like to bump like this, but maybe somebody have any idea how to deal with it? Maybe it makes sense to add this question to diferent thread?

Webi processing server restarts automatically

Dear all,
My Web Intelligence processing server automatically recycles (restarts) in ten minumtes even the users are actively accessing the webi reports. Anyone know whether there are any ways to bypass this problem?
(I checked the parameters of webi processing servers and they should not cause the servers to recycle in 10 mins)
Thanks

Thanks. Does it mean the command line parameter under 'Adapative Processing Server'? i.e., -Xms32m and -Xmx256m in the following text?
>>>
"-server" "-Dbobj.javaserver.home=/bi_01/boe31/bobje/enterprise120//java/server" "-Dcom.businessobjects.pjs.common.dir=/bi_01/boe31/bobje/java/lib/" "-Dcom.businessobjects.pjs.conf.file=/bi_01/boe31/bobje/enterprise120//java/server/conf/config.xml" "-Dorg.apache.geronimo.base.dir=/bi_01/boe31/bobje/enterprise120//java/server/platform" "-Djava.io.tmpdir=/bi_01/boe31/bobje/enterprise120//java/server/platform/var/temp" "-Dbusinessobjects.logs.home=/bi_01/boe31/bobje/logging/" "-Xms32m" "-Xmx256m" "-DXorg.apache.geronimo.gbean.NoProxy=true" "-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=false" -jar "/bi_01/boe31/bobje/enterprise120//java/server/bin/boeserver.jar" "-workdir" "/bi_01/boe31/bobje/enterprise120//java/server/work"
<<<
If this is correct, the maximum value I can set for Xmx is 1024m, i.e., -Xmx1024m.
Please kindly suggest and comment.
Thanks

Find heap memory Size for Web Intelligence processing server in BO 4.0

Hi All ,
We need to gather data for sizing inputs.For Adaptive processing server , we can find same by going in CMC> Server > APS > Properties & check value for the parameter -Xmx . Could you please tell how to find the max heap memory allocated for a Web Intelligence processing server in BO 4.0 as for Webi server this parameter is not maintained. ?
Regards ,
Abhinav

Hi Abhinav,
The maximum threshold is a value which may reach on peak usage and Webi processing server cannot occupy memory beyond this value at any time.
In your situation 9 Webi Processing servers with 16 GB of RAM on server is not recommended. This is because consider situation with total 16 GB of host RAM.
4 GB should left for OS
Tomcat will need minimum 2 GB for 200 users
So you are left with 10 GB RAM for all BO services
Now 9 Webi Processing servers with 6 GB of Threshhost will not work here
For this configuration you can have 2 Webi Processing servers with default threshold should be running on single host.

Web Intelligence Processing Server Continuously in Stopping Stage....

Good Morning Guru's,
any one help me to come out from this situation in my Project "Web Intelligence Processing Server Continuously in Stopping Stage" in BOBJ server 4.0
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Satya Pavan.

Hi,
Check in the logs if there is any error.
or you can try with below steps.
Clone your webi processing server
Disable and stop the old webi processing server
edit properties of the new webi processing server and click all available checkboxes that called "Restore System Defaults".
Click save and close.
start and enable the new webi processing server

WebIntelligence Processing Server fails to start

Hi,
last weekend we upgraded a working BOE XI 3.0 SP3 + SAP IK XI 3.0 SP 3 to BOE XI 3.1 SP3 and SAP IK 3.1 SP3 (Windows 2003 server). The sequence was:
-Applied the 3.1 upgrade to existing BO XI 3.0 SP3
- Applied the 3.1 upgrade to existing SAP IK
- Applied SP3 on top of the new BO XI 3.1
- Applied SP3 on top of the new SAP IK.
There were some problems but we managed to finish the installation, apparently with no problems; but users complained next day about a RWI 00226 error. We discovered (through the Windows Event manager and the logs) that the Webi Processing Server was unable to start from the first upgrade made (from 3.0 to 3.1). Most of our reports are Deski so we were not aware of that problem at that moment.
We tried to start the server from the CMC but the server entered into 'Fail' status. We cloned the server and deleted the old one but with the same results; we renamed the <BOXIDir>/Data directory but things didn't go better.
Then we were able to reproduce the same actions performed on the production environment, and exactly with the same results: all the other servers were working correctly but WebIntelligenceServer was still unable to start.
I will try to get more information by setting the trace argument to the server, but has anyone experienced the same issue?
Thanks!

Yes, we deleted the old one, deleted the cache, created a new one, etc. But the same results.
More info about this problem, got with -trace:

High memory webintelligence processing server

Hi,
why the memory of web intelligence processing server increase considerably when i refresh or schedule a webi document referring to a SAP BW Universe?
How can i to resolve this issue?
Regards
Carlo

Hi,
@Carlo: Which BOBJ version (incl. FixPacks) are you using?
@Siva: Have you tried to modify related properties of your webi processing server like the following
(BO XI 3.0)
Idle Document Timeout
Cache Timeout
Maximum Document Cache Size
etc.
@BOTH: Abhishek is right. Please consider checking the BEx query you are using in your report. If you are using an SAP BW as data source, please note that the WebI Proc Server will fetch ALL attributes that have been assigned to your report within the WebI query panel even if these attributes are not displayed or really used in your report. Maybe you can save some space by removing data that are not needed.

Oracle Web App Server performance problems

I am evaluating Oracle Web Application Server 3.0 and while
everything seems to work ok, the performance is noticeably
slower than Oracle Web Server 1.0 or 2.0. I have narrowed the
problem down to the access/execution time to a database
package. In other words, the PL/SQL code I have built does not
contain any Oracle SQL statements. The package simply builds a
small web page. If I had to guess, I would say it appears to be
related to either a log-in to Oracle (which does not take that
long in a ProC program) or excessive child process creation
overhead (other programs like Apache handle this just fine). I
created the package in the www_user account, set a virtual path
of /test/owa/ to access it and while the page displays
correctly, it takes about 12 to 13 seconds to do so.
I'm running Linux on a Dell 400 MHz Pentium II with 1 Gb of
ram. I have tried changing the cartridge configuration so that
it starts with 2 processes instead of the default 0. This
helped some after the first execution of the package (response
time went from 12 seconds down to about 7). I am running it
without security on the virtual path (I thought maybe that was
slowing things down). I tried setting the user sessions to true
(default was false) and setting a timeout of 1200. None of
these things helped (nor did they make it any worse).
On an old HP system (much slower SQLPlus response time than this
Dell system), web pages fly at a pretty good speed using PL/SQL
and version 2 of the web server. Except for the actual database
query time to perform SQL queries, pages display in subsecond
time frames; not 12 seconds.
Please give me some idea how to improve the performance.
Obviously, something is different with 3.0 than the older wrb
and server.
Thanks,
Bob

Adaptive Processing Server vs WEBI reporting server

I'm planning for production configuration, I want to know when I perform following actions, which server is used? webi or Adaptiive Processing...
1. User refreshes a webi report (webi?)
2. Schedule a webi report (webi and Adaptive Processing? )
I will clone existing webi reporting servers, should I clone Adaptive processing servers also? AP has so many services running in it, I really don't need all of them. I just want to know which services are critical to report refreshing and scheduling. If a schedule a large report (5 million rows for instance); which server should I beef up? webi ? or AP? If I add one more AP server, will BO knows how to take advantage of it?

Is the Adaptive Processing server used for Scheduling Webi reports?
Senario:
I have Webi Processing services on production which are identical.
there are Adaptive Preocessing services which has different set of services.
1) AdaptiveProcessingServer1
Trace log service
audit service
visualization service
Web Intelligence Tracking Service
Web Intelligence Monitoring Service
2) AdaptiveProcessingServer2
Custom Data Access Service
Document Recovery Service
Excel Data Access Service
monitoring service
Rebean service
Trace log service
Web Intelligence monitoring service
audit service
3) AdaptiveProcessingServer3
Trace log service
audit service
DSL Bridge service
security token service
Web Intelligence Tracking Service
Web Intelligence Monitoring Service
My reports are failing sometimes with error: Exception raised:
com.businessobjects.sdk.core.CoreException
When i check for the SAP Note 1679045, however there solution refers only to the Webi Processing servers and not APS.
So not sure if it is applicable to APS as well.

Isolating WebIntelligence ad hoc reports to specific Webi Report Processing Server

Post Author: Lucia Chan
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Has anyone successfully isolated WebIntelligence ad hoc reports to be processed by specific Webi Report Processing Server? We need to enforce governance on the database side. We can restrict scheduling for Webi reports to specific Webi Report Processing Server, but not for ad hoc reports. Otherwise is there a way to do connection override for scheduled Webi reports?

New version that's comming up SBO Bi4.0 will have bouilt in monitoring that will allow what you requesting.
In the current product line - this is not possible, unless you just monitor WIReportServer.exe at OS level and alert when it's memory or CPU usage goest too high... (if memory reaches close to and above 1.7gb - you're going into troubles.)
There are various fixes and improvements to Webi processing stability in recent fix and service packs, so if you're having webi instability - you should review latest FP fix issues list (in SMP to right of FP download there is an Info link - it leads to fixed issues docs).
If you do not see your issue listed - open incident with support - let them investigate.
Webi crashing when merging/unmerging dimentions sounds like a bug...
