Aso dataload

Hi Guru,
can anyone please tell me how dataload process is different in aso and bso? can we use incremental data load process in aso only model . like instead on loading data for whole year can we load data for last three months. or do we have to run full load everytime
thank you

The other benefit of doing a clear and load is that you don't have to play games with scenarios like -- completely back out the number from a given intersection and then load it to a new location.
If it's just load 1 = 5, load 2 = 2, so result is 7, load 3 = -2, so result is 5, no biggie.
If it's load 1 = 5, load 2 = 2, so result is 7, whoops, wrong location, need to send -7 to original intersection but the 5 goes to a new location on the third load...it gets complicated although certainly doable.

ASO dataload issue

Hi,
We are facing an issue with ASO dataload.
When we load '0' values in ASO, we see them as #Missing in the smartview and in database->Preview data.This is impacting our formulas.
We did not replace '0' with #Missing in our rule files.
This works fine with BSO where we see '0' when the value is 0 and the rest as #Missing.
Can I get any help on this as what could have gone wrong..
Thanks in advance

In one sense nothing has gone "Wrong" the default nature of ASO data loads is to exclude missing and zero rows. This is to keepp the DB small. Depending on what version you are on, you can overried this default behavour in EAS or MaxL.

Is it true about ASO

Hi All,
Is it true that write back functionality for ASO is available from 9.3.1???? Does it NOT have write back before that??

CL wrote:
Are you stuck on 9.2? I can remember Tim Tow demoing ASO writeback with Dodeca before Hyperion had it. I think the trick was Dodeca caught the send event, created a text file, and loaded that to Essbase. That is exactly what we did in those versions. The 'official' writeback now in Essbase does, I believe, something similar, but I understand that it writes back to a slice instead of to the whole cube. Apparently, loading data into an ASO database causes the entire file to be written. We noted that in our implementation and recommended that customers talk with us regarding their usage patterns before implementation as large scale writebacks would have been problematic due to the way that ASO dataloads work. The Smart Slice efforts (and their related APIs) are probably a result of the desires of the public to writeback to massive databases (ie ASO)..
BTW, the customers who wanted to writeback to ASO have all upgraded and we have since intentionally disabled that functionality as the 'official' writeback is a better, though not an ideal, solution.
Thoughts anyone?

EIS dataloads on ASO - missing data during dataloads

We build are building an ASO application with duplicate member names. The member load works fine, but when I load the data, I am missing amounts so some measures are out of balance. In trouble shooting the data, I found if I load just the Agent (level 0) amounts balanced, so I changed the filters to:
1. loaded the Branch for the agent (next level in Heirarchy)- number still balanced
2. loaded the Mgmt Office for the agent (next level in Heirarchy)- number still balanced
3. loaded the Region for the agent (next level in Heirarchy)- number still balanced
But when I load all, I am out of balance. So I created 8 filters in EIS, and loaded the data in 8 steps. All the measures balance when I load in in 8 parts. Has anyone run into this issue?
Running on Windows 2003 Server 16 Gb RAM, 4 processors.
Stats from:
Essbase Input-level data size 10016
Dimension 13
Attrib Dim 3
Measures 32
Largest Dimension 16333 members 12842 stored
All other Dimension <50 members <50 stored
(4 Dim <10 members, 4 Dim bwtween 10-20 members, 3 Dim between 33-34 members, 1 Dim with 44 members)
Number of input cells 862292
Rows from SQL 264519 (4 months of data)

I am loading all the data for that filter and below, so the:
a. first load for just a single agent and check the data.
b. Second load was for the branch with that agent and all other agents in that branch
c. Third was for the Mgmt Office with the same agent and all other agents and Branch in that Mgmt Office
4. Fouth load was for the region with the same agent and all other agents, Branches, and Mgmt Offices in the Region.
Each of those data loads were ok, but when I loaded the Countrywide data (All 8 regions) in one single dataload then I had problems with balancing.

Region
Mgmt Office

ASO, MDX, Loading Level 0

Maybe this is more simple than I am making it, but I am tryingto load a level 0 file into my ASO app. I get to messagesonce the data load happens. The first is: SourceTYPE SourceFile OperationStatusDatafile e:\whatever.txt Warning And then when i click the line, below is what I get. Andmost of the time, the database is empty, and I can't aggregate whenthere is no data. Parallel dataload enabled: [1] block prepare threads [1]block write threads. Aggregate storage applications ignore update to derived cells.[5.04334e 007] cells skipped Data Load Elapsed Time : [81.702] seconds Database import completed ['FRaso'.'Finrpt'] Output columns prepared: [0]WarninI also get Buffer which is a success. Once I do get data in, how do I aggregate stuff. And can Imodify how things are being aggregated?<hr> 

Let me give you an example of what I have in my outline. Using the Months example, I have: Outline: MeasureAccounts <11> (Label Only) <spanstyle=" color: #008080;"> - It'schildren MonthTime Dynamic <13> (Label Only) -Jan (~) -Feb (~) -.... -Dec(~) -Mthly (~) <12> - JAN_MTHLY (+) [0: [JAN]] -FEB_MTHLY (+) [0: [FEB]- [JAN]] -..... -DEC_MTHLY (+) [0: [DEC]-[NOV]]I tried to indent as best as I could. But this is the typeof stuff I have. And you say I shouldn't have any of theseformulas in the different leaves?

RE:ASO Outline Updation

Hi ,
Actually I was trying to build one dimension in ASO database using rules files, after saving the rules file when i am gonna update it with source file I really wonder when I dint see the option "update outline" in the outline tab in the menu.any other way of upating ?..
thanks

Hi,
you could try with dataload and select the BuildOnly mode

Loading Comman members in diffrent Dimension(ASO)

Hi, i ahve a situvation where in my time dimension i have year as 2000 and also in My equipment dimension i have my equipment model as 2000. so when i load my equipment the member load erros out as no shared member wanted. but as i am using ASO i cannot user shared member(i think so as it gives an error says shared members not allowed in ASO when trying to save the outliene). how do we hnadle thi ssutuvation

My recommendation would be to add a prefix to your year members "Year 2000" -- you could do this as an alias. Then in your dataload, either modify the data or use a load rule which provides the prefix in the time column. Minor details may need to be worked out, but in the end, it's a bad idea to have a "2000" member for both time and equipment -- for that matter, I recommend avoiding numeric member names in general (formatting issues in Excel, etc...). Thats just my 2 cents worth, FWIW. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

ASO Demo Question

Hello All.
I have a question regarding an article posted in Oracle Magazine, that perhaps someone here will be able to answer.
The article is located here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2010/10-sep/o50bi-165473.html
Having only worked with BSO applications, I'm brushing up on ASO. Thought I'd follow the exercise in the article above.
However, when I do the dataload, I receive: Aggregate storage applications ignore update to derived cells. [74776] cells skipped (as one would expect with ASO).
Then, when trying to create the first calc script in the article, I receive Error: 1012686 Calculation scripts are not supported in aggregate storage applications.
Both Essbase and EAS are 11.1.2.2.
What have I missed?
Thx,
Bill

If you're using the file and the outline from the article I suspect you can safely ignore that dataload warning. I assume from your comment that you already know what it means.
At exactly what point in the process do you receive the 'Calculation scripts are not supported...' error? I can use the EAS editor to create and then 'Save As' calculation scripts to ASOsamp in my 11.1.2.2 environment, but I get that error if I try to validate. The EAS editor is not really much use for creating ASO scripts anyway.

Dataload(without rule file)hangs on EAS on loading data thru exported file.

I am trying to do a data load to a database though a file I exported earlier and the data load just hangs after taking in the text file. It hangs where it says "Press escape or cancel button to terminate the current operation." It is a very small text file that am loading data from. I have to kill the ESSSVR process for that particular application to get the EAS back to do other tasks. Am able to do all other tasks just fine. Also on our Prod environment we do not have this issue and am able to load data thru exported text files just fine. Has anyone seen this behavior before?
Thanks,
Ted.

Data Load MAXLs in ASO

Hi All,
Greetings of the day !!!!
Want to understand the difference between "Add values create slice" and "override values create slice" used in data loading MAXLs
Suppose we initialized buffer and loaded data in buffer then we can use following two MAXLs
1)
import database AsoSamp.Sample data
from load_buffer with buffer_id 1
add values create slice;
2)
import database AsoSamp.Sample data
from load_buffer with buffer_id 1
override values create slice;
Q1
What i am thinking logically is if i am again loading the data in the same intersections from which slice is created ADD VALUE will add it and override value will overwrite it .... e.g if 100 was present earlier and we are again loading 200 then ADD will make 300 and overwrite will result 200. Let me know if my understanding is correct
Q2
Why do we use "create slice" ? What is the use? Is it for better performance for data loading? Is it compulsary to merge the slices after dataloading??
Cant we just use add value or override values if we dont want to create slice...
Q3
I saw two MAXLs for merging also ... one was Merge ALL DATA and other was MERGE incremental data ... Whats the diff ? In which case we use what?
Pls help me in resolving my doubts... Thanks a lot !!!!

Q1 - Your understanding is correct. The buffer commit specification determines how what is in the buffer is applied to what is already in the cube. Note that there are also buffer initialization specifications for 'sum' and 'use last' that apply only to data loaded to the buffer.
Q2 - Load performance. Loading data to an ASO cube without 'create slice' takes time (per the DBAG) proportional to the amount of data already in the cube. So loading one value to a 100GB cube may take a very long time. Loading data to an ASO cube with 'create slice' takes time proportional to the amount of data being loaded - much faster in my example. There is no requirement to immediately merge slices, but it will have to be done to design / process aggregations or restructure the cube (in the case of restructure, it happens automatically IIRC). The extra slices are like extra cubes, so when you query Essbase now has to look at both the main cube and the slice. There is a statistic that tells you how much time Essbase spends querying slices vs querying the main cube, but no real guidance on what a 'good' or 'bad' number is! See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/aggstor_runtime_stats.html.
The other reason you might want to create a slice is that it's possible to overwrite (or even remove, by committing an empty buffer with the 'override incremental data' clause in the buffer commit specification) only the slice data without having to do physical or logical clears. So if you are continually updating current period data, for example, it might make sense to load that data to an incremental slice.
Q3 - You can merge the incremental slices into the rest of the cube, or you can merge multiple incremental slices into one single incremental slice, but not into the rest of the cube. Honestly, I've only ever wanted to use the first option. I'm not really sure when or why you would want to do the second, although I'm sure it's in there for a reason.

ASO- Aggregation

I am designing an ASO cube. Once i design aggregation for the cube, do i need to aggregate the data during every dataload or it is automatically aggregated. And also what is the purpose of aggragation view selection.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The aggregation design wizard allows you to create the aggregate view selection file. Based on this file you can materialize the aggregation (literally: execute the aggregation process). Each time you load bnew data the process has to be repeated (to have the new data aggregated as well).
The aggregate view selection is a process of selecting aggregate views (combinations of levelds from different dimensions) for which the aggregations will be materialized to disk.
The purpose is to optimize your query performance. The options you have are:
1. rely on the automated selection process - the biggest query cost combinations are selected which fit in disk space consumption criteria.
2. Use query tracking - the view selection optimizes performance for certain type of queries, which are most often being executed against the cube.
3. Use query hits - specify combinations to aggregate at design time.
Cheers,
Patryk.

Can we upload data in ASO Cube version 11.1.2

Hi,
I have a requirement where in ASO cube users need the ability to enter their plan data into the ASO application. Do we need to create Transparent Partition for that. I have an ASO and Hyperion Planning cube and in my Planning cube I have more number of dimensions as compare to ASO.
Please advise
Thanks in advance.

If you are using the Excel add-in you do NOT do a lock, just a send. The lock is a BSO concept to put a hold on blocks. ASO has no blocks to lock. From smartview you do a submit and it handles it all for you. The beauty of using ASO is exactly what you mention, results are immediate without a calc.

Can we load data for all levels in ASO?

Hi All,
Im creating cube in ASO
can i load data for all levels in ASO
we can load data for all Levels In BSO but in ASO i need confirmation????
and one more
wat is the consider all levels option in ASO is used for ? wat is the purpose?
Can any one help ,it would be appriciate.
Thanks

In an ASO cube you can only load to level zero
The consider all levels if used for aggregation hints. It allows you to tell the aggregation optimizer to look at all levels when deciding if aggregation needs to be done on the dimension

Can we load data for all levels in ASO cube

Hi All,
Can we load data for all levels of members in ASO cube in 9.3.1.
Regards

Yes you can load data for all levels in an ASO cube in any version HOWEVER, none of the upper level data in any cube will be there when you look for it. You will get a warning message in the load because ASO cubes don't store data at upper levels. It is the same as loading data into dynamic calc members in BSO cube. It will do the load without compalints, but there will be no data there (At least you get the warning in ASO)
