Webi Reports - Performance Issues

Hi Experts,
       Right now we are using BO XI R2 version. We have 2 servers, server 1 is old and server 2 is new (AIX server u2013 new upgrade of old server).
      When I trying to schedule the report (webi) in both server, reports is running successfully. But problem is that the report scheduling time is more in new server (AIX) than old server (Server1).
There is some performance issues
Example:
Old serve     : 1 hrs (time taken)
New server : 2 hrs (time taken)
Could you please tell me how to increase the webi report performance in new server?

Webi Report Performance issue as compared with backaend SAP BW as

Hi
We are having Backend as SAP BW.
Dashboard and Webi reports are created with Backend SAP BW.
i.e thru Universe on top of Bex query and then webi report and then dashboard thru live office.
My point is that when we have created webi reprts with date range as parameter(sometimes as mandatory variable which comes as prompt in webi) or sometimes taking L 01 Calender date from Bex and creating a prompt in webi, we are facing that reports are taking lot of time to open. 5 minutes 10 minutes and sometimes 22 minutes to open.
This type of problem never ocurred when Backened was Oracle.
Also when drilling in webi report,it takes lot of time .
So can you suggest any solution?

Hi Gaurav,
We logged this issue with support already, it is acknowledged.
What happens is that whenever you use an infoobject in the condition
(so pull in the object into condition and build a condition there,
or use that object in a filter object in the universe and then use the filter)
this will result in that object being added to the result set.
Since the query will retrieve a lot of different calendar days for the period you selected,
the resultset will be VERY big and performance virtually non-existent.
The workaround we used is to use a BEX variable for all date based selections.
One optional range variable makes it possible to build various types of selections
(less (with a very early startdate), greater (with a very far in the future enddate) and between).
Because the range selection is now handled by BEX, the calendar day will not be part of the selection...
Good luck!

Web Reporting Performance issue

Hello All,
We have some webreports, which contains "Dropdown Boxes" for filters. When I execute the report it is taking very long time, and i realized it is due to filling the filter(characterstic) values with dropdown boxes... Query execution time is more..
To solve this problem, I have removed all the "Dropdown boxes" for filters, and used "Navigation Block" with all the filters. After that the performance of the Webreport(initial screen) is improved by more than 50%.
Now the issue is, when I click on one of the filters of the navigation block, to open filter values window, it is again taking long time.
Is there anyway to improve the response time to open the filter values window of the Navigation block filter?
Is my approach to improve the performance of a webreport is suggestable or is there any other way?
Please suggest me.
Thanks
ravi

Hi Ravi,
try to use <param name="BOOKED_VALUES" value="Q"> in your Dropdown Box properties.
If you use more than one DDB in your webtemplate, you can send the request to the
server until all dropdown boxes with a sumbit button.
Here is the code example for this solution:
<form name="form_1" method="post" action="<SAP_BW_URL DATA_PROVIDER='DATAPROVIDER_1'
FILTER_IOBJNM_1=MYOBJ_1 FILTER_IOBJNM_2='MYOBJ_2'>">
<select name="FILTER_VALUE_1" size="1">
<object>
<param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW">
<param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM">
<param name="NAME" value="DROPDOWNBOX_1">
<param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_FILTER_DDOWN">
<param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1">
<param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value="">
<param name="IOBJNM" value="MYOBJ_1">
<param name="ONLY_VALUES" value="X">
<param name="BOOKED_VALUES" value="Q">
ITEM: DROPDOWNBOX_1
</object>
</select>
<select name="FILTER_VALUE_2" size="1">
<object>
<param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW">
<param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM">
<param name="NAME" value="DROPDOWNBOX_2">
<param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_FILTER_DDOWN">
<param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1">
<param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value="">
<param name="IOBJNM" value="MYOBJ_2">
<param name="ONLY_VALUES" value="X">
<param name="BOOKED_VALUES" value="Q">
ITEM: DROPDOWNBOX_2
</object>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit ">
</form>

Web reporting performance

Hi,
We are experiencing very slow response times when viewing reports over the web. We get a connection time out in most cases. Can somebody provide any guidance as to how to optimize/improve web reporting performance. Thanks for your help.
SC

Hello:
Since you stated explicitly "when viewing reports over the web", I assume that your performance issue has been isolated to some extent (web queries instead of general query problems). Therefore things like aggregates and the timeout parameter are not likely your main bottleneck (you would notice the issue for all queries).
I would start here - on SDN, Business Information Warehouse > Performance Tuning section. The whitepaper on the performance tuning topic is available there, which is quite comprehensive.
Since the issue appears to be web-related, I would speculate that there may be an IGS issue. When analyzing the performance data, make sure that the front-end times for the queries you have problems with are high. Network overhead is a component to this - since BWQ results are compressed this shouldn't be a big overhead though.
In terms of optimizing/improving web performance, your killer apps are precalaculate template / information broadcasting. These techniques allow you to run the query ahead of time in the background and store the result set to deliver immediately when the user runs a query.
Good luck with the performance analysis. If you hit a wall you may consider contacting SAP Active Global Support or SAP Consulting for further assistance.

2004s Web report performance is not good ,though that of 3x web is OK.

Hi,
I feel 2004s Web report performance is bad, though that of 3x web is no problem (the same query is used.) it is worse than BEx analyzer.
This query has more than 1,000 records and those queries that have many records result in the same bad performance.
Of course there are many reason for this bad performance, please tell me your solution by which you solve the same problem like this.
the SIDs of EP and BI is difference here.
CPU is not consumed when 2004s web report is executed.
And I have cancelled virus scan to this web report...
Kind regards,
Masaaki

It is bad, am sure it's down to the new .net and java based technology. Aggregates are a way forwards though from what i've heard of the BI Accelerator this is the real way forwards.

Will BW indexing help Webi reports performance

Hi Experts,
Environment
BO Version:4.1 SP3
Reporting Database:BW 7.4 sp3
Recently we have applied the OSS note :. 0001898395 so that we enabled index on the master data.
We have applied the note and had the index on the 0profit_ctr in the Infoobject: 0mat_plant.
Reports are fast in BEX side but there is no difference in webi reports performance.
Our opinion is if BEx performance is increased obviously WEbi performance also should increase.
Please post your experiences..
Thank you,,

Several things will affect the report speed. Note that there are two halves to it - the data source fetch time and the report render time.
Data source fetch time is the time that it takes for all the data to be returned. BO will always look slower than the native tool because the native tool starts spooling out results as soon as it retrieves the first one - the more data returned, the slower BO will look by comparison.
Report render time will depend upon the number and complexity of variables as well as the number of rows returned.
Reducing the volume of data with correct aggregations and filters rather than summing and filtering at report level are the two best ways to improve performance without database/universe access.

Report Performance Issue - Activity

Hi gurus,
I'm developing an Activity report using Transactional database (Online real time object).
the purpose of the report is to list down all contacts related activities and activities NOT related to Contact by activity owner (user id).
In order to fullfill that requirment I've created 2 report
1) All Activities related to Contact -- Report A
pull in Acitivity ID , Activity Type, Status, Contact ID
2) All Activities not related to Contact UNION All Activities related to Contact (Base report) -- Report B
to get the list of activities not related to contact i'm using Advanced filter based on result of another request which is I think is the part that slow down the query.
<Activity ID not equal to any Activity ID in Report B>
Anyone encountered performance issue due to the advanced filter in analytic before?
any input is really appriciated
Thanks in advanced,
Fina

Fina,
Union is always the last option. If you can get all record in one report, do not use union.
since all records, which you are targeting, are in the activity subject area, it is not nessecery to combine reports. add a column with the following logic
if contact id is null (or = 'Unspecified') then owner name else contact name
Hopefully, this is helping.

Report performance Issue in BI Answers

Hi All,
We have a performance issues with reports. Report is running more than 10 mins. we took query from the session log and ran it in database, at that time it took not more than 2 mins. We have verified proper indexes on the where clause columns.
Could any once suggest to improve the performance in BI answers?
Thanks in advance,

I hope you dont have many case statements and complex calculations that you do in the Answers.
Next thing you need to monitor is how many rows of data that you are trying to retrieve from the query. If the volume is huge then it takes time to do the formatting on the Answers as you are going to dump huge volumes of data. Database(like teradata) returns initially like 1-2000 records if you hit show all records then even db is gonna fair amount of time if you are dumping many records
hope it helps
thanks

SAP BusinessObject Mobile WebI Report Prompt Issue

Hi,
I have problem to view the Prompt value in Long Text for WebI report in my iPad. The SAP BusinessObject Mobile application is on version 5.1.12.
We are using BI Platform 4.1, and the WebI report is connected to Bex Query using BICS connection.
Below are the settings that I had done:
Setting of Characteristic in BW:
Setting of Characteristic – ZBPARTNER in BEx Query Designer:
Below are the report Prompt result in BI LaunchPad and BI Mobile:
Example data:
Business Partner ID 123 has description in Long Text (DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S) and Short Text (DO NOT USE - KOC).
Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in WebI is showing Long Text as expected.
For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S".
Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in Mobile Apps is showing Short Text:
For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC".
I need the Prompt value is the BusinessObject Mobile to be display with Long Text, but I cannot find any configuration to achieve this.
Is anyone encounter similar issue and can provide me some suggestion?
Thank you in advance.

Edison Wang

Hi,
Just like to follow up whether is there anyone encounter similar issue like above which can give me some advise?

Accrual Reconciliation Load Run report performance issue.

we have significant performance issues when running accrual reconciliation load run report. we had to cancel after have it run for a day. any idea on how to resolve it?

We experienced similar issue. As the runtime of this report depends on the input parameters. Remember, your first run of this report going to take significant amount of time and the subsequent runs will be much shorter.
But w had to apply the patches referred in the MOS article to resolve the performance issue.

HR ABAP- Report Performance Issue

Can you please any body tell me how to debug a report program by putting watch points and break points.
Waiting for your Reply.
Anu
Bangalore

Hi,
           If you have programm name then proceed with SE38 or take the programm name from Trasaction code which you are using.
Break Points:   If it is performance issue , put external break points around select querie and loop ---end loop.
Watch Points : in the debug screen choose the watch point option and give the field name from your internal table for which you want to put watch point.
After that give the range which you record you want to see in the range options.
for these steps: 1. Execute your programm.
       2. In the selection screen enter /h in the command window to start debugging screen or put break points before excuting.
     3. Once you are in debug screen then start woring with F5 or F6 or F7 and create watch points where ever you like.

Hi
i also faced such an issue and then i found the answer on metalink
Error: "An Interactive Reporting Service Error has Occurred. Failed to Acquire Requested Service. Error Code: 2001" when Processing a bqy Report in Workspace. [ID 1117395.1]
Applies to:
Hyperion BI+ - Version: 11.1.1.2.00 and later [Release: 11.1 and later ]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
Obtaining the following error when trying to process a BQY that uses an Essbase data source in Workspace:
"An Interactive Reporting Service error has occurred. Failed to acquire requested service. Error Code: 2001".
Cause
The name of the data source in the CMC contained the machine name in fully qualified name format whereas the OCE contained the machine name only. This mismatch in machine names caused the problem. Making the machine name identical in both cases resolved the problem.
Solution
Ensure that the name of the data source as specified in the OCE in Interactive Reporting Studio matches the name specified in the CMC tool in the field "Enter the name of the data source".
In fact, all fields need to match between the OCE and the CMC Data Source.
