Hi everybody,

How can i decrease the olap time (qolaptime in table rssdstat) when i execute query? without changing hardware?

any ideas?

Thank a lot.

HI DP,

Here are some things to keep in mind when u have problems with DB Runtime, Frontend runtime or OLAP runtime..

A)High Database Runtime

Check if an aggregate is suitable (use All data to get values "selected records to transferred records", a high number here would be an indicator for query performance improvement using an aggregate)

Check if database statistics are update to data for the Cube/Aggregate, use TX RSRV output (use database check

for statistics and indexes)

Check if the read mode of the query is unfavourable - Recommended (H)

B)High OLAP Runtime

Check if a high number of Cells transferred to the OLAP (use "All data" to get value "No. of Cells")

a) Use RSRT technical Information to check if any extra OLAP-processing is necessary (Stock Query, Exception Aggregation, Calc. before Aggregation, Virtual Char. Key Figures, Attributes in Calculated Key Figs, Time-dependent Currency Translation) together with a high number of records transferred.

b) Check if a user exit Usage is involved in the OLAP runtime?

c) Check if large hierarchies are used and the entry hierarchy level is as deep as possible. This limits the levels of the hierarchy that must be processed.

Use SE16 on the inclusion tables and use the List of Value feature on the column successor and predecessor to see which entry level of the hierarchy is used.

C)High Frontend Runtime

1)Check if a very high number of cells and formattings are transferred to the Frontend ( use "All data" to get value "No. of Cells") which cause high network and frontend (processing) runtime.

2) Check if frontend PC are within the recommendation (RAM, CPU Mhz)

3) Check if the bandwidth for WAN connection is sufficient.

hopr this helps,

Hi Kishore,

thats very useful info,

Can pls. tell me how can i find the suitable bandwidth of WAN and settings?

One more thing,

High Frontend Runtime

1)Check if a very high number of cells and formattings are transferred to the Frontend ( use "All data" to get value "No. of Cells") which cause high network and frontend (processing) runtime.

how can i set this one too,

Regards,

Robyn.

Thank you everyone.

With the ST03, I'll calculate the improvement of the performance.

Hi,

Thanks for the responses.

I have enough caches for query (olap cache), but I believed the OLAP cache improved the db time. it's truth?

It's a same thing for aggregates, no?

Ok for Query read modes (A/X/H), if I use the parameters X or A.

Ok for precalculation, i'll try.

I don't know what are 'Value Sets' and 'Static Web Pages'. but i'll search.

thanks a lot.

bye.

OLAP time is taken in processing / rendering the data. You may also want to look at formulas , calculated key figures, virtual characteristics and KF, user-exit code, in specific queries (where OLAP time is higher).

If the user's query can find the results in the OLAP cache, then the DB time is eliminated - BW does not need to run the SQL query at all.

There are query settings and variable settings that impact the likelihood that teh results will be found in the OLAP cache. SDN has some docs on OLAP cache and there are threads in the BI forums that go into this more.

Generally, the Query Read Mode option SAP recommends is the one that is based on navigation and hierarchy, which I guess is the X option. Changing to the Read All data can really lengthen the DB time, and probably only makes sense inlimited situations,e.g if you wanted to run a query with Reporting Agent to warmup the cache for subsquent query execution to use.

Hi,

Hope you have enabled OLAP caches in the first place.

This is will be quick win.
