Workbook takes 15 minutes to return results - how to best invstigate this?

Hi,
Can any one offer any advice or provide steps on how best to investigate why a WB is taking over 15minutes to return the data from the report?
Basically when I select the workbook, a small window pops up saying "predicting..." and shows the elapsed time...
I have access to the back end also.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
As Kranthi mentioned before, better to turn Query predictor off that way you will find the diffeenece and also more efficient for end users, instead of waiting on calculating estimate it will run the query as soon as you click to the run the workbook. We recently disabled Query predictor and now reports running faster than before without taking estimate and everyone likes it :)
Since these pref.txt settings are global and you need to notifiy to everyone who are using Discoverer and ask ERP sys admin to disble by changing PREF.TXT file settings.
FYI.. these are steps you can forward to sysadmin.
Disable Query Prediction:
For Plus/Viewer:
Edit the <oracle_home>/discoverer/util/pref.txt on the middle-tier server and set QPPEnable=0
Execute the <oracle_home>/discoverer/util/applypreferences script (.sh or .bat)
For Desktop:
Edit the registry and set QPPEnable=0
HKEY_CURRENT_USERS\Software\ORACLE\Discoverer <version>\Database

  • Maverick 10.9 download.  Command key makes the current page hide and return.  How can I stop this?

    Hello,
    The Maverick update on my 2009 Mac caused the command key to cause the current page to hide.  It sometimes stays in the side but mostly, after a delay, will return to the screen with the action completed.  Such commands as Print, Copy, Paste, all of the Command shortcuts do this.
    It is impossible to focus on the work since it disappears, delays and then returns. 
    How can I change this to act like the usual commands and just make the action occur instantly on the page as it rests on the screen?
    Thanks

  • I downloaded a song and now it will only plays the first 2 minutes of the song, how can I fix this?

    I downloaded two songs and they will only play the first 2 minutes of the songs, how do I fix this?

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

    For Instagram you can try and uninstall and reinstall the app and see if that fixes it. But if not you can try and resetting all settings, Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.

  • "select count(*) from dba_jobs_running" takes 5 minutes to return

    Hi,
    I login as sys or system from sql*plus to run query "select count(*) from dba_jobs_running". This query takes about 5 minutes to run.
    Querying other DBA_* views returns instantly, only this dba_jobs_running view is troubling.
    I have 11 records in dba_jobs, and 18 records in v$lock as usual.
    No error or warning in logfile, no trace file.
    What's possibly wrong with the server?
    Thanks,
    Harry

    Hi,
    The following are the exact statements I used to create the trace file:
    alter session set timed_statistics=true;
    alter session set max_dump_file_size=unlimited;
    alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';
    select count(*) from dba_jobs_running;
    exit;
    The content of the trace file is attached at the end.
    If it is CPU bound, I have no activity on the db host. I am solely using it to analyze this problem.

  • Wifi connection does not last longer than 5 minutes at a time, how do I fix this?

    I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) and after I upgraded my OS to Yosemite the wifi connectivity has been terrible. I have barely been able to maintain a proper wifi connection for longer that 5 minutes at a time.

    I exactly have the same problem as this "Unable to check mark whole playlists to play since last update.  ONly allows me to check one at a time.  How do I fix?" I have a windows7. Please help.

  • Recently firefox started opening new tabs when I click on search results how do I get this to stop

    When I use Google and I click on a search result it opens a new tab where it used to just take me to a new page in the tab I was using I was looking in the tabs tab in options and saw I could choose it to open in a new window but I don't see an option to open it in the current tab. This started happening out of nowhere.

    Found a setting in Google that was telling it to open all result in a new Windows which I was guessing that Firefox was overriding and open it in a new tab like settings suggested unchecked the box in Google and now the behavior is back to normal.

  • I had an IPhone 4, I just got a new IPhone5, when I plugged it in I selected New Device instead of returning user, how can I correct this

    I Backed up my fiancé's IPhone 4, forgot to sign out. I then plugged my IPhone 5, should have selected returning user under my name, but instead I selected new device and started backing up under my fiancé 's name, can some one instruct me how to plug my IPhone 5 & select it under my name

    Restore the device from the backup created.
    If no backup exists, there is nothing to recover.

  • My ipad air will not take a screen shot...how do I fix this?

  • Firefox takes forever to open/startup. How can I fix this?

    I am running Windows XP. All updates are current. IE opens up fast, but Firefox takes forever. Also, it is using way too much memory. Please advise.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • When I hover over anything on Facebook, it enlarges and takes up half of my screen, HOW DO I STOP THIS HOVER FEATURE ?

    When I hover over a persons name, a pop up of their homepage appears and takes up much of my screen, I DONT LIKE THIS

    Please also check on why there might be multiple plugins of different versions installed in this version.
    This sounds like something enhanced/an accessibility tool in the OS.
    To make sure that this is not a Firefox issue, try Firefox Refresh:
    The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
    '''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
    To Refresh Firefox:
    # Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    #*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
    #Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
    #Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
    Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
