Up until June 2016, if there was no data loaded into bpc through either input schedules or data manager packages, and no master data changes, then the Light Optimize would run for 2 minutes, not performing the db statistics. Starting in June 2016, the Light Optimize is now running 30 minutes under the same conditions however now it is running db statistics even though no data changes have been made. Normal run times would be 2 minutes without data changes and less than 15 minutes with data changes. However currently we are seeing 30 minutes without data changes and anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours with data changes. This is causing unnecessary down-time. No patches were installed during this time period. What is causing the db statistics to be triggered to run when no data is changing? This is only occurring in our production environment, both our dev and qa environments are running a Light Optimize in 2 minutes.
