How to Boost BI Dashboard Performance
The best method for boosting Dashboard performance is to create a materialized view. A materialized view is a caching strategy that pre-aggregates and stores the data required by a Dashboard so that the Dashboard can respond more quickly at runtime. When a materialized view exists for a Dashboard, the server attempts to query the cached materialized view rather than querying the database. This can significantly reduce the run time for certain queries, which increases Dashboard responsiveness.
Note: Only users who have administrator privileges can change server settings.
The following sections provide a quick description of how to create and manage materialized views. For complete information, see Materialized Views in Advanced Topics.
Create a Materialized View or Data Cache
To create the materialized view for a Dashboard, follow the steps below:
1. Press the 'Settings' button at the top of Enterprise Manager.
2. Select the Content page in the left panel, and select the Repository tab.
3. Expand the 'Repository' node on the tree, and click to select the Dashboard that you want to materialize. Ctrl-click to select multiple Dashboards.
4. If you selected a single Dashboard, select the MV tab.
If you selected one or more Dashboards, press the 'Materialize' button above the tree. For multi-tenant implementations utilizing the multi-connection feature, materialized views are created based on user/group connection assignments. (See the DesktopApp documentation for more details on VPMs, data models, and data connections.) For this reason, if you set a Dashboard's permissions by role, you should also add individual permissions for users or groups that have particular connections. This will enable the materialized views to be generated from the appropriate connections.
5. Press the 'Analyze' button.
6. This opens the 'Materialized View Candidates' page containing a list of assets that can be materialized.
7. Check the box next to the assets for which you want to create a materialized view.
8. In the 'Select Cycle' column of the table, choose the cycle on which the materialized view should be regenerated.
9. Press the 'Create/Update' button. If you select the 'Generate Data' option, this will immediately start the generation process and notify you upon completion.
If you select the 'Run in Background' option, the materialized view will be scheduled to begin generation. You can check the status of the task under the Schedule page. (See Monitor a Scheduled Task.)
10. Press 'Apply'.
To manage existing materialized views, see Managing Materialized Views.
