Java Runtime Environment for Open Workbench - JRE Will download in end user System

Java Runtime Environment for Open Workbench

Starting with Release 13.3, CA Clarity PPM provides a specific Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for use by Open Workbench (OWB). The JRE is copied to the hard drive in the OWB installation directory on the end-user workstation. The JRE is used specifically for OWB and is independent of the JRE used for the Windows workstation.
OWB uses only the internal JRE version that is provided which we certify to be compatible. This approach eliminates issues that arise when the workstation Windows installation of the JRE is not the correct version or the JRE is missing. An IT department no longer has to update a JRE version when deploying OWB.

Improving Actuate Reporting Performance in Clarity

Improving Actuate Reporting Performance in Clarity
 
Reporting Performance issue is very common and an challenge to address it.I faced that and managed to overcome with the help of experts advice and some ground work.i worked and tested in throwly in Test server and then implemented in Production.This is specific to Actuate Reporting.

1. Tuning the Sql
In Most situations the poor performance of Reports is due to inefficient Sql.Pls extract the SQL queries to run them directly against the database to measure the Performance.Tuning your SQL is often the best way to increase overall Reporting performance.

2. Minimise the data
Minimise the data in your report at every opportunity. Only bring back records that are required.That will improve the reporting performance significantly.Less Data More speed.Optimize the Tables & Indexes.

3. Run acverify utility Monthly.
The acverify command-line utility validates an Encyclopedia volume and optionally attempts to repair problems found in the volume. Use acverify with an offline volume.It cannot be used with an online volume.
Command:- Run acverify check all repair

4. Archiving
Clear the Old Archival Files which will Free enough space and will boost the Reporting server performance.

A) Setting archive folder
Create a new environment variables in the actuate server called AC_ROOT_FOLDER and set the archive folder.

B) Setting the archive library
Login to Actuate Management Console System Administration, click at System Volumes -> General. Enter the archive library path into the archive library name. The archive.dll usually located in the Actuate9\iServer\Examples\Archive folder.You need to restart the server for this field to take effect.

C) Setting archive rules
Login to Actuate Management Console System Administration then go to the Files and Folder(where the roi files resides,usually /cus/) and right click properties and then select the file type to archive (Actuate Report Document - roi) and choose the Archive files before deletion Option.
This option will archive the files to the archive folder before the file is deleted. This is useful to recover the report at a later stage.However, this will add on additional disk space in the server as it will be keep as an archive file.So probably after some time you can delete the Files.

D)Setting archive schedule
Login to Actuate Management Console System Administration thenClick at Volume -> Archive Schedule then Select the start date and time to start the schedule. Advise to start the archive schedule during non peak hours and the time doesn’t clash with the backup schedule.

5. Increase the Buffer pool size
In Actuate Management Console System increase the Buffer pool size where the default is 10mb.Actuate iServer manages this information using a page buffer pool.Actuate recommends setting the buffer pool as large as possible to keep the buffer pool data in the Actuate iServer machine’s memory and not in the machine’s disk swap space.

6. Adding Factory processes (Important)
In both stand-alone and cluster configurations, the optimum number of Factory processes for Actuate iServer depends on the speed of the CPU that runs the Actuate iServer workload and the mix of reports in the workload.To begin, configure two Factory processes on a processor. Adding Factory
processes can enhance performance if the database that Actuate iServer uses to create reports is a performance-limiting resource.
Actuate iServer can use the multiple Factory processes to run multiple, simultaneous reports that use the database. When Actuate iServer runs multiple, simultaneous reports, some of the Factory processes access the database while other Factory processes perform report generation tasks that do not access the database.

7. Increase the View Server Performance.
The default value is 50, which means 50MB.You can increase the file size accordingly.The View process maintains caches for reports and report executable files. You can set Actuate iServer parameters to configure cache sizes, time-out values, and other View process parameters. In most cases, you do not have to change the values for these parameters from the default values.
The View process stores session information in a cache. Increasing cache size can improve View process performance when cache size is a limiting resource. The View process uses cache to store ROX files and view session information.

8. Improve report generation for long running reports
Improve report generation for long running reports by increasing the value of the environment variable.The default is 15 seconds, you can increase to 30 seconds.
AC_FACTORY_PAGE_COUNT_UPDATE_INTERVAL -- default is 15 seconds.

9. De fragmenting the Report Encyclopedia
To improve Report Encyclopedia performance, run the ACDEFRAG utility on a regular basis. Alternatively, back up and restore the Report Encyclopedia using the ACEXPORT AND ACIMPORT utilities on a regular basis.

10. Optimizing Memory
Actuate recommends a minimum of 1GB of RAM per CPU for Large Workloads.It is important not to use up all available memory.When CPU Requires more memory than available.There must be standards for each server like WebbLogic,Webshere and Tomcat,stick on that.

11.Run the Remove Job Logs and Report Library Entries
This job removes job log and Report Library entries from databases that are
older than a specified number of days.Schedule it weekly.

12.Schedule the Reports
During High Traffic Times Run large reports by scheduling rather running immediately and also if possible
schedule it on Non Peak Hours.

13. Seperate Server for Reporting
To provide for sufficient resources for both Application and Database servers, place the report server on a different CPU from the database or application server . Both report generation on the report server and database or application server tasks are CPU-intensive. If you cannot place the report server and database server on separate CPUs, plan for additional CPU, memory, and disk resources to support the report server.

14. Check All Resource Utilizing
Check the Operating System resources including I/O ,Network ,CPU and Memory.

15. Monitor the Reporting Performance
Monitor the Report performance via OS Utilities at regular Intervals which will help you to analyze Performance.

* For windows -- Windows Task Manager,Windows Performance Monitor.
* For Unix -- Top,Vmstat,iostat,netstat,sar

Hidden knowledge about the Clarity Tables

I had a experience during installation of Clarity 13.3, though database available.
And not connected directly to the table level, due to right access.(Ref previous article Label:Clarity Install)

If you look at the clarity tables it starts with "Niku.ddd" ,
But from Clarity application, it will use only ddd. so in that case the user which going to create in database must have the right access and select query has work with out "niku".


You must enable the access and need to run query with out niku..


Happy installation by Bala


Clarity 13.3 with SQL SERVER 2008 R2

I have installed Clarity 13.3 with SQL SERVER 2008 R2 and faced issue
though followed all the steps in the installation document of Clarity 13.3.

I have configured the database in NSA, and it says available, also health check report is green for database. But the status of the installation "Database incomplete".

We tried many options and could not find the root cause, finally found there is an access issue.


After setting up the changes, finally in Clarity i could see database complete.

URL Tools in Clarity

Flushing the Cache 
http://{Server}/niku/app?action=security.caches
http://{Server}/niku/nu#action:security.caches



A : This undocumented page in the Clarity GUI allows the administrator to clear the application
caches, either selectively or all-at-once. Using this page is an alternative to the trusted
"start and stop" the app services method of picking up configuration changes or forcing the system
to refresh pages from the application server.

Whilst this is "unsupported" by CA, it is generally accepted that this functionality can be used. The
alternative to using the hidden functionality is to "stop and restart" the app service.

The functionality can be accessed by administration users in all current versions of Clarity (7.5.x to 12)


Q : Running XOG from the Clarity Application URL 
http://{Server}/niku/app?action=xog.client
http://{Server}/niku/nu#action:xog.client

NOTE From v13.3 this hidden page has been removed from the GUI (for performance/stability reasons) - see this thread for some detail.

A : This undocumented page provides a simple XOG client. Type (paste) the XOG XML into the
top window, press "Run" and the output will appear in the lower window.

You should NOT build any integration solutions that rely on this screen, the normal XOG functionality
is the only CA-supported way of integrating data to Clarity.

The functionality can be accessed by administration users in all current versions of Clarity (7.5.x to 13.2)



Q : Viewing / releasing locks 
http://{Server}/niku/app?action=security.locks
http://{Server}/niku/nu#action:security.locks

A : This undocumented page provides an overview of all system "locks".
For example "Import Export Lock" is a project that is currently locked (being editted in OWB/MSP),
the other available lock types refelect system functionality.

(This screen is displaying the contents of the PRLOCK table)

But you should NOT really be "clearing locks" using this screen unless explicty directed to by CA-Support


Q : Viewing the LOG Files from the application 
http://{Server}/niku/nu#action:security.logs

A : This page in the Clarity GUI allows an admin user access to the server log files without having to access the CSA

This functionality can be accessed by administration users in only the later versions of Clarity (i.e. starting v13) and only on TOMCAT installations.
Using this "hidden page" should not replace normal access to log files through the CSA or directly on the server itself.


Q : Web Services Interface (WSDL) 
http://{server}/niku/wsdl

A : This page is the starting point of the system documentation for the web-services provided
by your application. CA-provided actions/queries will be found here, along with any custom
NSQL queries you have built. All are available to be call via a web-service from YOUR web-service
enabled client. Of course it is up to YOU / your systems integrator to "code" the client end of this
relationship.

This page is documented is the CA-provided "Integration Guide"
