It is taking longer and longer to save a report.

Would cleaning out the archived and deleted reports help?

select ReportHeader.reportstatuscode,count(*) from ReportHeader group by ReportHeader.reportstatuscode;


# reportstatuscode, count(*)

'ARCHIVED', '1526'

'DELETED', '1197'

'DRAFT', '21'

'OPEN', '474'

Hi Steve,

While this sort of maintenance will help, 2000 rows is not crippling by any means. Typically, other tables will become a problem before the reportehader table. What are the sizes of your:

  • Event
  • EventArchive
  • ReportInstance

tables?

The rowcounts for the tables are:

Event 31634

ReportBroadcastResult 43609

ReportInstance 151111

ReportFormat 188312

EventArchive 544955

ReportInstanceFilter 3084440

The reports seem to load and run in a reasonable time.  It is saving a new report or saving changes to an existing report that takes somewhere between 30 seconds and a minute.

Any recommendations?

Hi Steve,

Sorry for the delay, those sizes look pretty good. It will be worth limiting these at some point but for now they are reasonable. Instead let's take a look at your caching.

Can you please send me a copy of your info_cache.jsp page? (youryfurl:port/info_cache.jsp

Hi Steve,

Those look fine as well. Next step is info_threads.

Can you collect info_threads for the duration of this save process and send me the result:

Let me know if you have any questions on this

Hi Steve,

Thanks, for convenience on my end, could you zip those up next time? :D

Looking through these, it looks like the majority of time here is spent on updating the reportinstancefilter table, so a good place to start will be to clean this out a bit. This link contains many useful queries one of them being a cleanup of this table:

https://community.yellowfinbi.com/knowledge-base/article/why-is-my-yellowfin-database-so-large-and-what-can-i-do-about-it

Let me know if this has any effect on the save times.

Nathan

What do you think of this?

delete from ReportInstance  where reportstatuscode='ARCHIVED';

DELETE FROM ReportInstanceFilter WHERE InstanceId NOT IN (SELECT ReportInstanceId FROM ReportInstance )

Hi Steve,

I think those are a good start. These tables are primarily to save filter settings for things like broadcasts, or report bookmarks/snapshots. They also contain report run information which is only used for a short period of time, so as long as you arnt deleting a broadcast/snapshot (will show in the reportstatuscode), you will not see any loss.

Hi Steve,

I am going to set this ticket to closed for now, but if there is anything else I can do to help here, please just let me know and the case will be re-opened!


Regards,

Nathan
