Introduction to optimizing the performance of a query in

the BI
Duration of the lesson: 20 Minutes

Although the BI system is optimized for a quick reporting, the definition of
"fast" is different for each user. In this lesson you will learn some of the many
aspects that could affect the performance of a query.
Lesson Objectives
At the end of this lesson you will be able to:

This overview is really and advertisement for BW360. Although we go into some
detail on aggregates, we do not address many of the other areas in detail.
Business Case
Your project has set a minimum run time acceptable for queries. Some queries
violate this threshold. Your job is to improve these queries of slow
implementation and want to learn how to meet this objective.
Performance factors of queries

There are many issues that affect the performance of queries, but one in which we
are not accustomed to thinking is the perception of the user. Users should be
aware that a complex analysis would entail some time. It and the functions of the
company must be according to destinations performance of query reasonable, and
the enterprise must understand the costs involved with a performance of query
growing.
Prior to the installation of a BI system should take into account the size of the
resources and performance objectives. The base team uses the entry of the activity
and other data, combined with a tool called Quick Sizer, to determine the initial
size and configuration of servers BI and the system of management of the disk
support. However, many system options and decisions of the BI application affect
the final goal of a query fast.

Tools and techniques to improve the performance of

queries
As a support to a deployment BI, the Expert user (authors of queries and
functional representative) is the first contact with a query of under performance.
They may go first, but will contact you shortly after. The basic steps of high
level for solving issues of performance of queries are:
Note: This is conceived as a high-level summary
, the details are found in BW360.
1.
Examine BI Statistics for information about the execution time of system

load for the query in question.
Council: BI Statistics maintains detailed data on treatment times.
2.
With BI information statistics, review the design of query in search of

violations of best practices.
3.
Consider the preliminary estimate / dissemination of information (useful

in many reports aimed at end users).
4.
With BI information statistics, consider using the BI Accelerator, if it has

been installed on your system.
5.
With statistical information B, consider the creation of aggregates,

taking into account that BI Accelerator is not an option.
6.
With information from BI Statistics and other information on table sizes

(RSRV) and access times SQL (ST01), consider the remodeling of the star
schema or the addition of indexes to operational data stores to improve the
design.
7.
Work with the team of basis for evaluating cache options, the system load
and other parameterizations of the system that could be affecting the
performance.
There are many tools that you can use to determine the root cause of performance
problems, including the query monitor (transaction RSRT). The monitor of query
is a simple way to run and debug a query in the backend. Through the execution
of a query with this tool removes many other subjects, such as the Web page
layout and the customizing of the book of Job, from the center of the performance
of a query.

This lesson summarizes the aggregates BI. Is their use, creation and features.
Lesson Objectives

important
This exercise discusses the design and use of the BI aggregates. It covers much
of the aggregate building and design, but does not address aggregates build on
time dependant master data, or some technical aspects of aggregates.
Aggregates are also discussed in the BW360 Performance and Tuning, and the
BW330 Data Modeling classes.
Business Case
Create aggregates for the accounting InfoCubo cost centers will improve the
performance of queries that use data from this InfoCubo. Your project team BI
needs to define aggregates for this InfoCubo because the performance of the
query does not reach to be acceptable. The team also want to compare the
benefits of optimizing the performance of the system to the end user before the
disadvantages and costs associated.
Aggregation in a BI system and its benefits

An aggregate is a summary view of the data in a InfoCubo. In an aggregate, the
set of data from a InfoCubo is stored redundantly and persistent
In its own InfoCubo as structure in the database. An aggregate in a InfoCubo is
similar to the indexes in a database table. Although technically are very
different, both improve the performance of the system without the need for
user intervention. The only way that a user has
To know that an aggregate is built for a InfoCubo that I was consulting is to
realize that the query is running more quickly. The aggregates
552
14-10-2008
TBW10
Leccin: Agregados BI
They can be created only for InfoCubos (not virtual cubes or DataStore objects).
The aggregates can be formed in InfoCubos by selecting specific objects
connected to the InfoCubo, as for example:
Features in dimension tables
Associated with the InfoCubo hierarchies
Navigation attributes associated with the InfoCubo
Although the data is already stored in a structure of star schema summary, the
InfoCubo must contain the detail level (granularity) necessary to withstand even
the more detailed user requirements. For example, if 1 per cent of queries must
have the level of detail day, but the remaining 99% need only month, your time
dimension and the fact table connected must be designed to withstand the level of
detail day. This will cause many more records are stored in its InfoCubo than
would be required to support the requirement month. The end result would be that
a 99% of queries would be implemented more slowly than they might not be so,
which would have as a result that the query does not fulfill his response time goals.
Use aggregates reduces the volume of data to be accessed for each query because
the data is stored in a separate aggregate InfoCubo that contains a limited set of
features in the InfoCubo connected. In this example, day would not be included in
our InfoCubo added. This would improve the read performance of queries that
have details that supports a added. Within the aggregate,
The data are summarized automatically by selecting a limited number of features
and their attributes of navigation or hierarchies available.
Chart 201: aggregates in BI
14-10-2008
553
TBW10
In the example above, say that the main InfoCubo contains (inside dimensions) 40
different characteristics that include the InfoObjeto day. One of the aggregates
(with structure similar to a InfoCubo) contains six important features, and another
contains six different. None of the aggregates contains the InfoObjeto day, since it
is not used in many queries or need it many users. As shown in the previous
image, the user does nothing to address the added. If the navigation of a query is
supported by an aggregate, the OLAP processor will use. If more than one meets
the requirement, the OLAP processor selects the most efficient.
The aggregates are especially useful in the following cases:
Run and navigate data from query delays to the groups of queries:
aggregates can be designed to improve the speed of a group of queries.
You want to speed up the implementation and the navigation of uns query
specific. This is not as desirable as the reason above, unless the query will
use very often.
Frequently used attributes of navigation in queries: the attributes of

navigation are intrinsically slow, since they are in a table away from the
fact table and therefore require a link of additional table to retrieve the
attribute values of navigation. The execution time of queries with attributes
of navigation dramatically improves when they are in an aggregate.
You want to speed up the reporting of hierarchies of features by adding

specific hierarchy levels: a InfoCubo that has wages for 100,000 employees,
for example, you could have an aggregate using the structure of the
company until you reach the responsible for the object, with many fewer
records.
Added: Example
An aggregate can be constructed on the basis of the characteristics, attributes of
navigation and a InfoCubo hierarchies. Both the attributes of navigation timedependent as time-dependent hierarchies can be used in aggregates, as well as the
independent of time. The use of dependent objects of time complicates the ability
of queries to use the aggregates.
Note: The complication that added the master data time-dependent to
the aggregates can be an important reason to avoid them. This approach
is quite advanced and it is in BW330.
554
14-10-2008
TBW10
The aggregates are defined as follows:
'*' - including; the feature is used in the compression
' ' - excluded; a feature is not used in the compression
'F' - included with a fixed value; the feature is compact with a specific
fixed value
'H' - hierarchical level; the feature is compact for a specific hierarchical

level
Chart 202: simplified display of aggregate options
In general, adding features, hierarchies and attributes of navigation to your

added, defines the granularity of the data and what are the requirements of
reporting that must meet the aggregate. When it comes to characteristics of time
(sometimes also other) if their basic requirements allow the inclusion of the
feature "X," should include all the characteristics that derive from "X."
. For example, if you define an aggregate for the week, should also include the
month and year in the aggregate. This enlargement does not increase the
number of records, but allows the added support more queries.
You can combine several features in an aggregate. Combinations are also
possible in the restrictions, as fixed values or hierarchical levels. For example,
you can have a added "Country=Germany and all customers and materials".
14-10-2008
555
TBW10
If the InfoCubo uses a ratio for that has been defined an aggregation of exception,
this feature should be included in an aggregate and defined as '*'. The restrictions
are not allowed in this case (for example, fixed value 'F').
Note: An aggregation of exception means that the ratio behaves
differently when analyzing before different characteristics. By
Example, the balance of inventory can be added to the customers, but not
the time. When the time is reflected in the report, the value of the result
of the inventory is the value of the balance sheet of the last day. Should
not join the inventory of each day to get the full inventory. If you have
three classes of ratios in its InfoCubo, should have the feature of
exception included in the design added; in this case, day must have "*"
set in the aggregate.
GUI design, data loading and measurement for

aggregates
SAP provides a GUI simple but efficient to build, load data and measure the use
of aggregates. You can access the GUI by selecting Menu
In a InfoCubo shortcut
Update aggregates.
The aggregates have technical properties, properties of content and

properties of status. This information is stored in the table
RSDDAGGRDIR and will be displayed in the GUI.
Chart 203: GUI added
556
14-10-2008
TBW10
When you build the aggregate, will only come to define a description, so that
should be significant. The system automatically assigns a unique internal
identification of 25 characters when added (Table RSDDAGGRDIR,
field AGGRUID). This identifier is used to connect the InfoCubo added with the
appropriate InfoCubos from which were built. You will never see this name in the
GUI. The system also provides a technical name for added to the InfoCubo added.
It consists of six integers and is specified in a range of numbers that begins with
100000. In this way, the first added that build will have the technical name
1000001.
Before they can be used in reporting, aggregates should be enabled and completed
with data. If you are prevented from using one or more aggregates, has three
options:
Disable the added. The aggregate is still full of data, but the OLAP
processor do not use it. Still must transfer new data.
Disable the added. The aggregated data are deleted, but the definition of the
aggregate remains.
Clear the added. The aggregate data and the definition of the aggregate
will be erased.
A InfoCubo can contain more than one added, but can normally only be used an
aggregate in each step of the query. If you create multiple aggregates for a
InfoCubo, the OLAP Processor verifies all when you run a query. During this
check, the OLAP processor reads all aggregates of InfoCubo and selects the
added which conform to the definition of the query.
Note: In situations in which you create more than one SQL statement, it is
possible that the OLAP processor select data from more than one
InfoCubo. An example of this occurs with queries based on multisite.
Another
Situation in which this occurs is when you have 2 ratios restricted, for
example a "sales for Germany" and the other "Sales for the year = 2006".
The information on the status, the use and value of the aggregates is also provided
in the GUI. The latest information used, number of times you have used and an
assessment (valuation of utility) are some important fields. SAP also provides
information on the number of records in the aggregate fact table (this number
should be low, compared with the InfoCubo). Finally, it provides a measure that
refers to the number of average records for each feature removed from the
InfoCubo.
Contains a feature called the aggregated tree. It is designed to facilitate the
efficient charging and, at the time of execution of the query, contribute to the
selection of the aggregates available. This feature arranges the aggregates in a
hierarchical relationship father-son. For example, the father of an aggregate of
customer would be the addition of client and material. In turn, the aggregate of
customer and material is the son of the aggregate of customer and material and
sales organization.
14-10-2008
557
TBW10
During the loading of an aggregate (referred to as " charge data" or "rollup"), the
hierarchy is referenced to decide from where it gets its data a added. In the
previous example, the aggregate of client is charged with data that have their origin
in the aggregate of customer and material.
In addition, the execution time of the query, some of aggregates can be quickly
removed from the selection by the OLAP processor. This is because if the data is
not found in the aggregate father, cannot exist in the aggregates son.
Chart 204: Tree hierarchy of aggregates (Rollup)
Technical construction of a added

An aggregate is represented in the system as a InfoCubo added. Each aggregate
consists in two tables of facts (E and F). It also contains at least two dimension
tables: a dimension of package and a dimension defined by the customer; the
dimension of unity is not mandatory. The Convention word mark all the technical
database tables used in the aggregate is the same as that used for the InfoCubos,
except that the name of the aggregate of six digits supplied by SAP is used as the
body. This means that you can see tables as F100266 as a table of facts of the
added, and D1002661 100266 as the first table DIM. The following describes the
differences between the technical construction of the aggregate and the InfoCubo.

If they are included in the aggregate 14 features or less, the BI system does not
create real dimensions; instead it creates a dimension of individual item. In the
event of a dimension of individual item, the dimension table is deleted and the
characteristic InfoObjetos SID is written in its place directly in the fact table.
When this happens, the aggregates are called aggregates plans.
Note: The characteristics of the data packets and time are the exceptions
to this rule. Each one of these characteristics is stored in a dimension as
they were in the original InfoCubo.
Chart 205: Added drawings
If 15 or more features are included in an aggregate, the BI system can proceed in

two ways:
If two or more features come from a dimension of InfoCubo, the dim the
InfoCubo ID is stored as a key in the fact table.
If only one feature comes from a dimension of InfoCubo ID, the master data
is stored as a key in the fact table. Here is used a dimension of individual
item.
Tip: The system applies a complex logic to build tables in the fund. Make
sure when you construct aggregates that does everything possible to
Limit each one to the 14 components or less. For example, a client and
material and country of added only uses 3. Everything works best with
these aggregates planes of smaller size.
The following figure shows a simplified view of the connection between a and
a InfoCubo InfoCubo added.

Selection of added
The aggregates should be created on the basis of queries that are defined by each
InfoCubo. However, the added created should also be useful and relevant. Note the
following considerations before you create an assembly:
Does the aggregate is larger than necessary to support the majority of their
queries? What should be added a fixed value to further define the
destination?
Does it improve the speed enough to make it worth?
Does it really need? For example, does this added fixes an issue of user
performance?
Do aggregates can be combined without the user note a slower response

time?
Do the aggregates are in use?
Time-dependent aggregates
The aggregates that use master data time-dependent are called time-dependent
aggregates. Previously, it has been recommended not to automatically enable the
unit of time to master data (attributes and hierarchies) unless it is absolutely
necessary. This is because this important feature can have unintended
consequences and confuse
The user. Enable the unit of time also greatly complicates the updating of
aggregates. Given that the attributes of master data can change based on a specific
key, the aggregates of date is also created for a key date.

Demo the first exercise where they build the aggregate at this point in the lesson.
Aggregates of rollup
Fill is the term used for loading data from the original form in an aggregate.
A rollup is the term assigned to the process of loading new data from the
InfoCubo to aggregates of InfoCubo. A rollup takes place when the request for the
InfoCubo is loaded on the aggregates. A rollup may consist of one or more
applications and the request ID controls the request. The request ID is stored in the
size of the package of InfoCubo.
Chart 207: Rollup added
As can be seen in the image above, the first request (number 4611) has been
transferred to the added 100043. In the table RSDDAGGRDIR, a pointer for
reading is set for the application in the field RNSID 4611_TO. This read pointer
indicates the OLAP processor which request is available in the added and
therefore can be read in a query. In the second step, an additional request
(number 4612) is written in the InfoCubo. Has not yet taken place a rollup. For
this reason, the data for this request are not available for reporting. Note that the
location of the read pointer is still set to the request 4611. On the Administration
screen of the InfoCubo, the new request is also marked as not yet available for
reporting. In the third step, after having made the rollup, the request 4612 is
indicated as available for reporting and the location of the read pointer of the
table RSDDAGGRDIR now points the request 4612.
14-10-2008
561
TBW10
Chart 208: Rollup of added and read pointer
Steps in the rollup:

1.
You write a new application in the InfoCubo (a new RNSID in the fact
table).
2.
New applications are transferred to the aggregate.
3.
During the rollup, the location of the read pointer moves to a new request.
The application is now available for reporting, as well as during the rollup.
4.
It is possible to compress a request (see section Compress added).

Note: Although the new data have been loaded in the InfoCubo BI, the
data are not yet available in any query until you have
Moved (transferred) to all aggregates. This ensures a consistent answer
(although above) if a query uses a InfoCubo or one of its aggregates.
Optimization of aggregates
Using data from BI Statistics (mostly times of execution of queries) SAP
provides an easy way to optimize its aggregates. The system can automatically
propose new aggregates by analysing their queries slow.

Changes in the aggregates and the master data

If modifications are made to attributes or hierarchies of features used in
aggregates, the aggregates structure must also be modified. Since the
modification of these data would invalidate the aggregated, not can directly
activate the hierarchies or attributes of navigation, you can only mark it for
activation. This means that the attributes and hierarchies of navigation are two
versions: An active version and a modified version. The modifications are made
during an execution of modification for hierarchies or attributes. While the
changes are being made and the execution of modification is active, use the old
data for reporting until you have rebuilt the aggregates.
Tip: This concept is very important. It means, for example, that if
you modify the sales representative for a client, and there are added
to the sales representative, then no REPORT
Includes this updated information of the representative of sales until the
execution of the modification has fixed all aggregates that involve the
sales representative.
Chart 209: Example: when is it required an execution of attribute

modification
In the case of the aggregate of the customer displayed above, no modification is

required because the amendments of the group of customers do not affect this
aggregate in particular. In the case of the aggregate of client / customer group,
there is a need for execution of modification. Otherwise, the aggregate would
provide incorrect results and inconsistent because the new allocation of customer
D to the customer group and is not taken into account. Since the group of
14-10-2008
563
TBW10
Customers is an attribute of navigation of the client feature and is also included in

the aggregate, the performance of the system improves when the navigation
attribute is used to read the data.
Council: Proceed with special care to create an assembly that contains an
attribute of navigation. This class of added can be costly to maintain, since
any change in the value of the attribute might cause an adjustment or
complete restructuring of all aggregates.
Chart 210: Modification of attributes of master data: Effects on the

aggregates
564
14-10-2008
TBW10
Note the following points in relation to the modification executions:
The time required for an execution of modification depends on the

number of attributes of navigation and hierarchy and the frequency with
which the data are modified teachers for each one of the characteristic
InfoObjetos.
During the execution of the modification, can only make reports on older
versions of the attributes and attribute hierarchies. The active versions of the
amendments are available only after the end of the execution of
modification. This also applies to the reporting using InfoCubos that are not
affected by the implementation of modification, but that use the hierarchies
and the changed attributes.
Use the monitor function (RSA1

Management button
Execution of modification) to check what objects are affected by the
implementation of modification. This will show you what features and
hierarchies are enabled and what additions and InfoCubos are affected. If
the execution of modification is active, the monitor will show you if the
modifications are enabled for each aggregate.
Chart 211: Modification of a hierarchy: Effects on the aggregates
14-10-2008
565
TBW10
To hierarchies are the following applies:
If you modify the structure, will fit all the aggregates of InfoCubo affected
by modifications in the hierarchies and attributes. This class of execution of
modification can take considerable time to complete.
Once the hierarchies are marked as active, modified hierarchies are

immediately available for reporting, provided that they are not used in the
aggregates. If used in aggregates, the can use in reporting if you delete or
disable the aggregates. Otherwise, the modifications made in such
hierarchies will only be displayed after the end of the execution of
modification.
Council: a modification execution typically runs after the master data is
loaded by means of a chain of processes.
Graphic 212: Implementation of attribute modification
If an aggregate is only affected by a few modifications, does not need to be rebuilt

completely; the aggregate can be adjusted using in its place
+/- records. During the execution of modification, the records of old data is
recorded with a negative value and the new are recorded with positive values.
From a certain point, depending on the
Amount of modifications, this method is more complicated than completely
rebuild the added. Since the threshold value for the maximum number of

Compress added
The aggregates can be compressed automatically during the rollup. The
application(s) is writes(n) in the fact table E of InfoCubo added. As has been
mentioned previously, this eliminates the Request ID, which means that a
compression can be applied to all applications. Adds the data records with the
same value of feature. If a request has to be clear after the compression, you must
first disable all aggregates. This process can take a long time. If not compressing
the aggregates until you have compressed the InfoCubo, it does not take long to
clear a request that has already been transferred but has not yet been
compressed. The option to compress
The added automatically after the rollup option is available through the Manage
Shortcut Menu > Transfer label for a InfoCubo. Should only be used when it
is very unusual to need to delete requests from the InfoCubo. In most cases this
is true.
Chains of processes and aggregates

A chain of processes is a sequence of planned processes in the background and
waiting for the trigger a specific event. Some of these processes trigger an
event own, which in turn triggers other processes. In an operating system BI,
there are several processes that are executed regularly in addition to the data
load process.
As a quick review, remember process chains were the tool we used to load our
DataStore object in a previous lesson.
If you use strings of process, you can:
Use treatment controlled by events to automate complex processes in

the BI system
Use graphics of network for visualize the processes
Control and monitor the processes of centrally
In this lesson, so far we have spoken of 3 areas that could be used chains of
processes. In most cases, it is not necessary to use a chain of processes to
complete an initial added, but there are two other tasks for which you need
chains of processes. First,
14-10-2008
567
TBW10
The chains of processes are almost always used to perform the execution of
modification of attributes. This step is performed to adjust aggregates based on
master data when the data is modified teachers.
If the attributes of navigation time-dependent and/or time-dependent hierarchies
are used in an aggregate, must be another kind of process, "the aggregates of
setting time-dependent", in a chain of processes.
Chart 213: String of simplified processes for loads of master data
568
14-10-2008
TBW10
The second use for chains of process that involve aggregates is the rollup. The
following steps to load data variables that imply an aggregate show where comes
into play the rollup:
1.
Start the chain.
2.
Deleting Indices of InfoCubo.
3.
Load the data from the source system to PSA through a InfoPaquete.
4.
Load data from the PSA to the DataStore object through a process
of data transfer (DWP).
5.
Activate data in the object DataStore.
6.
Loading data from the object DataStore to the InfoCubo through a DWP.
7.
Create indexes for the InfoCubo after loading.
8.
Create database statistics.
9.
Transfer data to the aggregate.
10.
Use the BI Information Broadcasting to distribute the reports previously

calculated.
As can be seen, the chains of the process are indispensable tools in BI.
Without them, could not coordinate efficiently all the tasks required by the
Data Warehouse.

Leccin: BI Accelerator
BI Accelerator

As an alternative or complement to aggregates, accelerators BI represent a new
paradigm of data access for large sets of data. The lesson provides an
introduction to this technology and what it means for your BI system.
Lesson Objectives

This is a brand new 7.0 feature. It is a great tool, but you have specific hardware
requirements. There also are a few limitations to it's use. For example it does not
yet work for noncumulative key figures, or providers other than cubes. This class
just gives the student an overview. BW360, the performance an tuning class goes
into the details.
Business Case
As an administrator, is responsible for finding ways to improve the
performance of queries. Already using aggregates to enhance performance,
but you want to improve the speed yet more. You should investigate the
accelerators BI because they allow a quick access to any data with
little effort
Administrative. It has also heard that accelerators BI are especially useful for
sophisticated scenarios with classes of query unpredictable, a large volume of data
and a high frequency of queries.
BI Accelerators: Definition, positioning and Benefits

It managers must balance the demands of the user for advanced BI tools that can
handle more data in less time with the reality of cost control. The current tools try
to keep up to date, contributing to
14-10-2008
583
TBW10
It get these competing objectives. The technologies that include the previous
calculation of data from query and/or the output (Web or Microsoft Excel) are an
option.
Other options include the use of the global cache BI and aggregates BI.
Note: BW360 focuses on the setting of performance; the aggregates BI are
an important part of this process of improvement.
Chart 214: techniques to improve the performance of queries
All these tools are a help in terms of performance, but involve many management
resources and have costs associated with the time of treatment. In addition, may
imply a redundant data storage.
The solution is the BI Accelerator. The BI Accelerator, a "complement"
hardware and an "application" software that will solve many performance issues.
This package with the latest hardware and software, is a joint effort of SAP and
Intel, a technological partner of SAP. Allows enterprises to overload the Analysis
Services and applications by combining high performance software for SAP
NetWeaver with advanced hardware design of Intel that gives a boost to the
performance of the analysis. It also cuts the time of TI performing a data

queries. Shortens significantly the load times by eliminating the settings
(modification executions) to data aggregates.

Chart 215: The BI Accelerator
Tip: Just to make sure that it is understood our "humor in his country,"the
dinosaur in English, is a Tyrannosaurus Rex = TREX
Grouped by packages as a "team" (hardware and software together), your IT
department simply connects the BI Accelerator to the existing BI infrastructure
for SAP NetWeaver (7.0 or higher) and determines that the InfoCubos BI are
"supercharged." The BI Accelerator indexes InfoCubo information to create a
structure very compressed that can be loaded into memory when a user requests
data. The accelerator is queries completely in memory using efficient aggregation
techniques , and then delivers the results to the analytic engine BI in SAP
NetWeaver to give out until the user.

Software and hardware added BI

To reduce the needs of training and setup, SAP has grouped by packages and
previously configured the BI Accelerator with the hardware you need to run.
Currently this hardware based on Intel technology must be purchased to IBM or
HP.

The advantages of accelerators BI
Chart 218: Advantages of BI Accelerator
In comparison with the technologies and OLAP tools, the BI Accelerator presents
important advantages. In the following image, BI (without the accelerator) is
shown as a tool ROLAP (relational database for OLAP). In the ROLAP, tables
are linked form relacional to constitute the schema
Of reporting (as our star extended). BI also supports summary tables (added).
Another technology is MOLAP (multidimensional database for OLAP). This
technology uses structures based on arrays in a patented design that accelerates the
analysis, but at the expense of greater data latency.

IF you wanted to have fun with the student' you could make a big deal on
how fast the reports can be with Accelerators , then just open a workbook
(that you saved with data in it) tell them the cube had 50 million records,
yet see how fast the work book opened. Then you can tell the truth, that it
was a Completed Workbook. Tell them that although TREX is fast,
nothing is faster than a precalculated web page or workbook accomplished
through the reporting agent, and the fact of the matter is that for 90% of
your users this is the way to go!

Summary statistics

In this lesson you will learn about the statistics of BI. This powerful combination
of objects of Business Content provides a framework to monitor its BI system and
resolve issues related to the performance.
Lesson Objectives
This unit describes the technical structure and motivation of BI Statistics, the only
InfoArea as a part of InfoAreal Business Information Warehouse (0BW) . It uses
several examples to illustrate the ways in which it can be used.
Business Case
The performance is a metric that you will use to measure the success of your
project BI. You want to investigate different tools to help you monitor the
performance of the load and a query and perform proactive improvements in the
Data Warehouse.
BI statistics: Motivation and use

The statistics of BI are a tool for the analysis and optimization of a BI system.
The BI system is constantly growing in data and number of structures (cubes,
DataStore and InfoObjetos objects, for example). The steady increase of objects
and data volume comes not only of the work of the Administrators BI and those
responsible for the data modeling, but also the users experts and the final
consumers of the information. Those users who constantly run and create new
queries or modify existing ones.
The adjustment of queries is a constant challenge, as is the need to monitor the
load times and the use of the disk. The objective of the statistics of BI is offer
the administrator BI tools to analyze and optimize BI.
In this class you provided a cost center with a InfoCubo to enable them to analyze
where the money is spent in the company and who spends it. Arrive to create
queries and relevant characteristics of court and rotation to contribute to analyze
the data and to improve the business process. In a perfect analogy, we provide the
administrator BI a set of InfoCubos, queries and Web pages
592
14-10-2008
TBW10
Leccin: Resumen de estadsticas
For the performance load of BI. Administrators no longer need to use tables
cryptic to reconstruct the causes of performance problems. In many cases, a good
administrator of BI should know the weaknesses in performance before the user
realizes that exist. We provide the tools to be proactive not reactive.
BI statistics: Technical Design

The statistics of BI allow you to get a summary of the processes of loading and
analysis BI (queries, etc.). It does so through objects and tools BI standard. It
includes a complex network of Business Content.
The following objects are provided as part of the set of tools of the statistics of
B :
The role of SAP NetWeaver BI Administrator

(SAP_BWC_BI_ADMIN- ISTRATOR)
And VirtualProviders InfoCubos

Chart 221: BI Administration Cockpit: Summary
The purpose of the lesson is to have the participants to look briefly at the cockpit.
Details are provided in BW360.
Note: The BI Administration Cockpit can be configured to obtain

information of Computing Center Management System (CCMS) of SAP,
But its primary function is to organize and display statistical data BI.
The cockpit provides all the information needed to monitor the BI system. You
can monitor the performance of load and the performance of a query from a
Web-based GUI easy of use and configurable that integrates in a SAP Enterprise
Portal.
Although the end result is this simple cockpit, objects and functions required in
the fund are much more complex.

Chart 222: Statistics of BI and its flow in the BI Administration Cockpit
As shown in the image above, many InfoCubos, VirtualProviders, multisite and

are used to determine the data that support the BI Administration Cockpit.
Several statistics providers BI and their
uses
The BI Administration Cockpit is based on new InfoSitios that are delivered with
Business Content of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 on the Inforea Business Information
Warehouse (0BW)
BI Statistics (0BWTCT_STA). Essentially, they
Represent an expansion of the existing technical content, with one exception:
statistics of time of execution of a query are updated in other detailed tables, with
what they offer a more accurate assessment. As a result, the InfoCubos
0BWTC_C02 and 0BWTC_C03 for statistics are obsolete from SAP NetWeaver
7.0.
Note: The statistics created before the upgrade can still be assessed with
these InfoCubos, while the InfoSitios are only available for statistics of
time of execution of queries generated after
Go to SAP NetWeaver 7.0. It is not possible to migrate old InfoCubos
statistics in new.
14-10-2008
595
TBW10
The new InfoSitios are:
For statistics of time of execution of queries very added: 0TCT_C01,

0TCT_VC01 and 0TCT_MC01. They substitute the InfoCubo
0BWTC_C02.
For run-time statistics of more detailed queries: 0TCT_C02,

0TCT_VC02 and 0TCT_MC02. They substitute the InfoCubo
0BWTC_C02.
For statistics data manager: 0TCT_C03, 0TCT_VC03 and

0TCT_MC03. They substitute the InfoCubo 0BWTC_C03.
For statistics data load chains of processes and processes: 0TCT_C21,

0TCT_VC21 and 0TCT_MC21.
For statistics data load processes for transferring data: 0TCT_C22,

For statistics data load InfoPaquetes: 0TCT_C23, 0TCT_VC23 and

0TCT_MC23. They delivered essentially the same information that the
InfoCubo 0BWTC_C05, but use the new InfoObjetos.
For the status of current data load chains of processes and processes:
Use of BI Administration Cockpit

Although you might design queries, Web models and views of the portal user
specific to monitor the performance, you can instead use the portal and the
Business Content delivered to:
Get a summary of the use of objects of analysis
Display the system performance and improve it using queries

delivered as "long-term trends in times of execution" or "deviations in
execution times of InfoSitios"
Improve the selection and use of aggregates and, at the same time, reduce
the effort that involves its update.
