Report performance is slow when using an information map that contains an OLAP category. The performance problem can occur in SAS^® Web Report Studio, SAS^®Web Report Viewer, and Visual Data Explorer.

An OLAP category might defined as a subset of members. For example, the following category identifies only the last month:

  {[Time].[Year-Qtr-Month].[All
  Year-Qtr-Month].lastchild.lastchild.lastchild}

This example returns a specific country.

  {[Geography].[North America].[United States]}

Here are some indicators of a performance problem that is related to using OLAP categories:

• A report takes several minutes to display.
• Multiple connections are made to the SAS^® OLAP server. The number of connections might be in the hundreds as reported in the SAS OLAP Server log.
• Multiple queries are submitted to the SAS OLAP server. Again, the number of queries might be in the hundreds as reported in the ARM log.
