Scenario:
This scenario occurred during the production support activity for our retail client. The timelines for the load
completion is very critical for our account since the dependencies are more. One such situation occurred
where the activation step for an ODS was stuck for a very long time. On checking the Activation Job Logs,
we found that the job was performing the statistics recalculation as shown in the screenshot below.
This paves way for the document on Database Statistics during ODS Activation.
2. The program RSSM_SUPRESS_STATISTICS has option to enter the ODS name and it gives 2
checkboxes. The check boxes work according to the following logic.
1. Check DB St. Deactivated before Act and Check DB St. Deactivated after Act: This option will
suppress the Statistics step totally for the particular ODS.
2. Check DB St. Deactivated before Act and Uncheck DB St. Deactivated After Act: This option will
suppress the Statistics step before the Activation Step and Enable it after the Activation is
complete.(recommended)
3. Uncheck DB St. Deactivated Before Act and Check DB St. Deactivated After Act: This option will
suppress the Statistics step after the Activation Step (not recommended as it would have no effect).
4. Uncheck DB St. Deactivated Before Act and Uncheck DB St. Deactivated After Act: This option will
enable the Statistics step totally for the particular ODS.
Let us proceed with Step 2:
3. Once the above step is executed with ODS name the following screen appears:
2. Enter the ODS name and Execute. Please note that the both the check boxes are to be unchecked.
Old Statistics:
The performance of the old statistics cannot be conclusive as the decision factor is on how well the current
data set is represented.
