ASO trickle feed option

Hi All
Can someone please explain me what is Essbase's trickle feed option in details and how can one use it?
I'm looking for the ways to build near real-time cubes and heard that potentially 'trickle feed' option introduced in Essbase 9.3.1 could help, but unfortunately there is no any word in manuals regarding this..
Thanks,
Dmitry

I have attempted this in the pass. I'm not sure about the term "trickle feed".
But the technique that I had the most success with was:
import database sample.basic data
from data_string
'"Sales" "COGS" "Marketing" "Payroll" "Misc" "Opening Inventory" "Additions"
"Ending Inventory" "100-10" "New York" "Jan" "Actual"
678 271 94 51 0 2101 644 2067'
on error abort;
Your automation process can build this string in real-time. You might want to setup committed access to a BSO cube, just in case you need to have rollback capabilities.

ASO Trickle feed

Good morning
I see in the ORACLE literature concerning ASO cubes that it refers to sending slices of data to the cube as "trickle feed". Is this because the send function for the ASO cubes is not nearly as robust as Block storage? If not, what is trickle feed and how is it different from sending data?

Trickle feed is the (I think) old marketing name for ASO slices. Check out the DBAG, Tech Ref for more about it. Also, Angie Wilcox presented on slices at ODTUG's Kscope12 -- you can download the presentation for free from odtug.com's Technical Resources.
I believe at one time ASO databases could not have incremental data -- additional data forced clears and full loads. Slices are just a way to load additional data to an already populated ASO cube -- it's an incremental data load.
There's nothing less robust about ASO sends (which, btw, is a itsy-bitsy slice), but they are different than BSO lock-and-sends. Again, the docs will explain.

Trickle Feed

Hi All Gurus,
Can anyone please explain me how Trickle feeds work in ASO ?
As per my knowledge, it means the data is loaded into slices (buffers) and at the same time the old data is available to users. then we can merge all the slices and load the data to the cube. But my question is , can the users access the data even when the data will be loaded to cube from slices ? I tried looking for this answer on DBAG but was unable to find it.
Thanks

There have been a few posts on this subject in the past, these should give you more information

Re: is the essbase suit for near real time data analysis?
The user does not see the slice and will retrieve as normal.

"trickle-feed" ASO Essbase

Hi all,
What is "trickle-feed" ASO Essbase...
Thanks

From the Essbase 9.3.1 readme:
The aggregate storage database model has been enhanced with the following features:
- An aggregate storage database can contain multiple slices of data.
- Incremental data loads complete in a length of time that is proportional to the size of the
incremental data.
- You can merge all incremental data slices into the main database slice or merge all
incremental data slices into a single data slice while leaving the main database slice
unchanged.
- Multiple data load buffers can exist on a single aggregate storage database. To save time, you
can load data into multiple data load buffers at the same time.
- You can atomically replace the contents of a database or the contents of all incremental data
slices.
- You can control the share of resources that a load buffer is allowed to use and set properties
that determine how missing and zero values, and duplicate values, in the data sources are
processed.

Reference, and the Essbase Administration Services Online Help.

Trickle-feed Mapping

Hi gurus,
Do you have any experience on developing a trickle-feed mapping in OWB 11gR2?
It'd be appreciated if you could kindly share it!

MF Toolbox wont give auto feed option for scanner

We've sucessfully used our MF4350d for months. No problems with MF toolbox until randomly the auto feed option for scanning disappeared and the only option on drop down from toolbox when selecting source is platen glass.
When contacting canon for assistance to resolve this, I was told support for something so clearly a canan software issue and not a printer issue would cost $99.99. Beyod the cost of going out and buying a new scanner from a different company. I hope canon can show some customer care and help resolve this issue.

Hi bowski.
I will be glad to assist you.
Please note that Canon does not charge for technical support by telephone. To contact us, please call 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666), Monday - Friday (excluding holidays), from 8:00AM - 8:00PM.

OWB Trickle Feed Mode

Just attempting to replicate some de-que functionality currently encoded in PL/SQL using Oracle Object Types as the transport mechanism for the AQ.
Following David Allans blog reveals a few issues:
http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2009/09/owb_11gr2_trickle_feed_data_acquisition_and_delivery.html
The first is that the Single Subscriber Queues are not being imported by OWB but the Multi Subscriber Queue is, the second issue is that the mapping will not compile using the Multi Q and an error is returned:
VLD-4257: The real-time driver queue RECON_Q is not a streams queue
Select a streams queue as the real-time driver queue
Any ideas? I know this is 11.2 frontier stuff.

Hi Paul
These are some odds and ends I have found behind the reasoning. There are several limitations using a single consumer queue. Some of them are
* You cannot add subscriptions (or subscribers) to single-consumer queues.
* To be able to add recipient and subscriber , the queue must reside in a queue table that is created with the multiple consumer option. Remember that the recipient list over rides the subscriber list and allows producers to control message dissemination.
* You can propagate messages from a multi consumer queue to a single-consumer queue. The reverse is not possible (as far as I know at least until 11gR1).
* Consumers of a message in multi consumer queues can be local or remote.
* Multicast and broadcast models not feasible with single consumer queue.
* In 10g and later (I think) , Queue monitor removes messages from multiconsumer queues. This allows dequeuers to complete the dequeue operation by not locking the message in the queue table. This got rid of the only sore point for multi consumer queues.
Single consumer queues are cookie cutter solutions between two applications that exclusively talk to each other and have no use beyond that. The multi consumer queues are more versatile.

Photos of Photo-Feed created in iWeb'08 won't appear in iPhoto'08

Hi,
I have a strange problem, to which I did not find any post yet.
I have created a personal home page with iWeb including foto albums One of these is updated from time to time, so I thought of using the new photo feed option in iWeb.
The feed works in Safari, one can subscribe to it and the photos are linked from the RSS page.
I can also subscribe from within iPhoto using the subscribe button on the home page or copying the link from the RSS page within Safari.
At first, it seems regularly working: the feed name is displayed, the buttom on the right turns and network activity is seen (activity monitor). However, only the dotted blank frames for the fotos (exact number!) is displayed, no foto is downloaded. This is the same behaviour on my Intel MacMini and PowerBook.
With flickr foto feeds, this works as it should.
With iPhoto'06, the subscription works as well!
I am using the latest update iPhoto 7.1.2 (today's version, but was the same with the oder versions).
Any ideas?
Markus

You could copy the images link from the pages code and link it to your html email:

I would just upload the images to YOUR server in a folder and link the images in the html email to those.

Which multifunction Laser printer (MFP) for Lion? - need multipage scanning through automatic document feeder

Hi all,
I'd love to get your advice on what MFP laser printer to buy.
I need:
- Laser color PRINTING for a small business (+/- 1500 pages per month)
- SCANNING, preferably easy multipage scanning through the automatic document feeder
Optionally:
- 2nd paper feed tray
I think of buying the HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi, but there seem to be plenty of compatibility issues with Lion (e.g. scan to network folder does not work on Lion).
I'd love to hear about success or failure of MFP on Lion from HP, Brother, Xerox, Lexmark, etc...
Thx for your advace,
S.

I can recommend the Canon MF8380C. It has a document feeder that supports duplex scanning to Lion, either via Image Capture or Preview or 3rd party application like Acrobat Pro. You can also push scan documents from the machine by first configuring the scan settings using the Canon MF Toolbox that gets installed on the Mac.
The print quality is good for office documents, but not that accurate for colour proofing. It uses Canon's proprietary UFR2 v2.30 driver of which the Lion version of this driver is available from the Canon web.
As for the monthly volume, 1500 pages per month is the maximum recommended volume, so not sure if this would suit your business needs. It's recommended monthly volume is 800 colour pages.

Essbase ASO Cube query performance from OBI EE

Hi all
I have serious problems of performance when I query an ASO cube from OBI EE. The problem born when I implement a filter in some dimension of model in the Business Model and Mapping layer. This filter is to level-0 of the dimension, the values are obtained from a session variable in OBI EE. The objetive of this is apply filters depending of users. Then, for session variable I've a table in relational dabase base with relation between user and "access", then my dimensions (not all) have as level-0 the "access" of users (as duplicated members).
The session variable in OBI EE is filled with row-wise option, so it has all values of "access" that correspond to user (:USER system variabe).
When I query only by one of this filtered dimensions the respond is very fast, When I query for one of this filtered dimensions and a metric the respond is fast (10 seconds). But when I query for two of this filtered dimensions and metric the respond take 25 minutes. I checked Essbase app log and found this:
+[Mon Nov 15 19:56:01 2010]Local/TestSec5/TestSec5/admin/Info(1013091)+
+Received Command [MdxReport] from user [admin]+

MaxL DML Execution Elapsed Time : [1947.18] seconds
When I look the MDX query generated by OBI I see that the aggregation process is doing in the fly in the members filtered of the crossjoin of two dimensions:
With
set [CATALOGO_INSTITUCIONAL2] as '[CATALOGO_INSTITUCIONAL].Generations(2).members'
set [CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO2] as '[CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].Generations(2).members'
*member [METRICAS_PRESUPUESTARIAS].[MS1] as 'AGGREGATE(filter(crossjoin (Descendants([CATALOGO_INSTITUCIONAL].currentmember,[CATALOGO_INSTITUCIONAL].Generations(7)),Descendants([CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].currentmember,[CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].Generations(7))),(([CATALOGO_INSTITUCIONAL].CurrentMember.MEMBER_ALIAS = "01.01" OR [CATALOGO_INSTITUCIONAL].CurrentMember.MEMBER_Name = "01.01")) AND (([CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].CurrentMember.MEMBER_ALIAS = "G" OR [CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].CurrentMember.MEMBER_Name = "G") OR ([CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].CurrentMember.MEMBER_ALIAS = "I0101" OR [CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].CurrentMember.MEMBER_Name = "I0101") OR ([CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].CurrentMember.MEMBER_ALIAS = "S01" OR [CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO].CurrentMember.MEMBER_Name = "S01"))),METRICAS_PRESUPUESTARIAS.[Compromiso])', SOLVE_ORDER = 100*
select
{ [METRICAS_PRESUPUESTARIAS].[MS1]
} on columns,
NON EMPTY {crossjoin ({[CATALOGO_INSTITUCIONAL2]},{[CATALOGO_PRESUPUESTARIO2]})} properties ANCESTOR_NAMES, GEN_NUMBER on rows
from [TestSec5.TestSec5]
Can somebody tell me if is possible to change the way in that OBI built the query or if is possible to use aggregations previously materialized of essbase?

hi Amol,
1. On what basis , did you estimate your cube to around 400GB to 600GB.
2. If ASO is an option, its huge advantage lies in space, its does not take more space , unlike BSO.
3. I have seen cubes ,who size was around 300-400GB in BSO,when made the same cube into ASO , its consumed space of 40GB-45GB.

RSS Feeds on 8330 Curve

Hello,
Wondering how to subscribe to RSS Feeds using the Blackberry Browser. I have an 8330 Curve - 4.5.0.138 OS
Found documentation that states the following:
Subscribe to a web feed
On a web page, press the Menu key.
Click Add Web Feed.
Select the check box beside a web feed.
In the Auto Synchronize field, set how often the browser should check for updates to the web feed.
In the Start time field, set the time of day when the browser should start checking for updates.
Click Add
However, I don't seem to have this option "Add Web Feed" in my meu.
I have navigated to several web feed pages and clicked the menu key. I have the "add bookmark" option where I can select auto synchronize but nothing that says "Add Web Feed"
Any thoughts or solutions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Issue resolved. I changed the browser from "Blackberry Brower" to "Internet Browser" and the Add Web Feed option appears in the menu.

Subscribe to RSS Feed - Bing Wallpaper

Hi -
I just downloaded iPhoto from the app store for Mac OS X Lion and I would like to subscribe to the bing rss wallpaper feed. I found the link http://themeserver.microsoft.com/default.aspx?p=Bing&c=Desktop&m=en-US and when I put that into the subscribe to RSS feed option in iPhoto it sets it up, but it will only download the first 5 images in the feed. It shows spots for another 143 images, but they are just boxes. I'm trying to set that up so I can rotate through the images as desktop wallpaper. Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
PS - Are there any other feeds similar to what Bing offers that work well with iPhoto?

I couldn't get any photos to load in iPhoto, but it did show that there were 50+ items. I think it has to do with the way the RSS feed puts the images in enclosures. If you view such a feed in Google Reader, it wont show the pictures either, only links to the images.
So I solved my problem, which was using the images from the themeserver feed as my wallpaper, but I also use Parallels and subscribe to the feed on my Windows 7 Theme.
The Windows 7 theme stores the images in a Temporary Internet Files folder, mine was at c:\users\(username)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Enclosure\
On the Mac side I opened my Parallels PVM package and drilled down to that location, then created an alias to that folder and put it under my Mac Pictures folder for easy finding.
Then in Sys Prefs I set this alias folder as my folder for Wallpaper images and set auto rotation.
It works ok since I run parallels, but relies on me running the VM to refresh the images.
If someone else finds a way to get the images to show in iPhoto I'd be interested. Or find a way to cache feed images (in the feed format Themserver uses) to a local folder would work too.

ASO: Cube size

Hi,
We are currently working on designing a system with the cube size estimated to be in the region of 400GB to 600Gbs. I wanted to explore Essbase ASO as an option. Has anyone implemented a cube of that size using ASO and if yes how is the performance with regards to query performance and processing time. Are there any specific issues that we have to keep in mind? We would have about 12 dimensions.
Thanks,
Amol

ASO Vs BSO

Hi
I have two cubes (metaoutlines) derrived from the same OLAP model. The only difference between the metaoutlines is one BSO (Block Storage Option) and other ASO (Aggregate Storage Option). They both loaded with the same number of records of members (dimension data) & data (fact data). When I queried the cubes, ASO cube returned data but BSO cube didn't. Anybody could tell me what's going on please?
Regards
Chandra

Sean is right.
ASO aggregates on the fly, so if you loaded Level 0 data and queried the top of the database, you would get data.
If you want to see summarized data in the BSO cube, you need to create a calculation script, or run CALC ALL.
If you look for any of your the records in your data file in both cubes, you should be able to find the record level data.
