Performance

There are various ways to improve performance of your bi system. The main functions
are:
SAP NetWeaver Business intelligence Accelerator
It is the best way to improve performance. It is an installed and preconfigured software
on specific hardware. It compresses the data and provides it to infocube as BI accelerator
index therefore it provides fast access to any data in infocube.

It can be used for complex scenarios like:

1. big data
2. Where frequency of request is high.
3. request is unpredictable

Aggregates

It is another way to improve performance while reading data from infocube. An

aggregate is a materialized, aggregated view of the data in an InfoCube. In an aggregate,
the dataset of an InfoCube is saved redundantly and persistently in a consolidated form
into the database. Aggregate is used to access data quickly in reporting. It acts like
indexes, to improve performance.

It can be used in scenarios like:

1. To speed up execution and navigation of a specific query.
2. when we often use attributes in queries.

OLAP Cache

● OLAP Cache
A global and local cache are both available for buffering query the results and navigation
states calculated using the OLAP processor:
The global cache is a cross-transaction application buffer, in which the query navigation
states and query results calculated using the OLAP processor are stored on the application
server instance. With similar query requests, the OLAP processor can access the data
stored in the cache.
Queries can be executed much faster if the OLAP processor can read data from the cache.
This is because the cache can be accessed far faster than InfoProviders since it is not
necessary to access the database.
In the local OLAP processor cache, the results calculated by the OLAP processor are
stored in a special storage type in the SAP Memory Management System (roll area) for
each session.
