Automatic outline sync between a BSO & ASO cube

We have a BSO and ASO cube connected through replicated partition.The partition & data update seems to work fine.Our next objective is to sync any changes made to BSO outline to the ASO outline automatically.
Can anyone provide any pointers as to how to achieve this?

Agreed, hence the suggestion of staging the data. This way you create a comprehensive set of properties covering (in an EPMA-esque way) all properties required for BSO, ASO, Planning, HFM etc... as necessary; and then using views limited to the required fields for each application to generate files in the correct format for the build of its particular app. E.g. Simple parent child tables with Essbase properties for use with Maxl and Essbase load rules, (different for BSO and ASO), slightly differently formatted parent child files for use with command line utility for Planning..etc..

Will I be able to disable the automatic icloud sync between devices?

What I want to know from looking at the keynote speech it looks like if I buy a song on my phone or ipad it will also get downloaded to my son's iphone even though he may not want the sond and vice versa. I hope there will be a way to disable the automatic sync between devices because in theory it sounds good but when you have several ios devices in the family they usually don't want to have the same music that I listen too. I have a MBA, Iphon4, and Ipad and would not mind all of them syncing together but my son's iphon 3GS does not need to be synced with the other devices. I didn't hear anything about being able to disable it and if someone knows can they let the rest of us know. Thanks.

Yes you can disable it. Also since it's free for all of those services, and you want different content on your devices, you could just setup an Apple ID for your son so that their content will be synced among their devices and you can still benefit from all the iCloud goodness. The only downfall to this is that the content that you may want to share would have to be purchased twice. I'm hoping they add support for "Family Groups" for iCloud services so you can have a shared Apple ID for content on up to 10 devices while also giving the flexibility for having sub-ID's to differentiate who's devices are who's.
That is exactly what I am talking about. I know you can share your purchases through several devices and some of the app store stuff my son and I share with no problem. I just hope that sharing is ok. Also using picture flow could be bad too. What if I want to take a picture that I don't want on any other device. This is all good but sounds like they didn't think this through all the way before implementing it. I am a mobileme subscriber and have been for 2 years and I liked iDisk. There was nothing wrong with the way it worked as I could set up iDisk only on my devices and my son's would not be affected. Like I said good idea but for some of us we may not want stuff out on the cloud automatically.
Also I can see some folks up in arms about privacy issues just like they did with the tracking issue. I am thinking I will turn this service off on all my devices until I get more information about it after it is implemented.

Outline sync with 4 cubes or partition help req

Hi,
I have three huge cube's, two cubes abt 90 gb (BSO) for TY & LY data, weekly refresh with hierarchy and data on third cube (ASO). all there cubes are transparent partitioned to fourth cube.
I have the same hirarchy in these three cubes and couple of other cubes. so is there a way to update the hierarchy on one single cube and sync with other cubes.
please suggest me any solution .......
I was thinking for replication partition and only sync outline is it possible?
Edited by: user10722265 on Oct 21, 2009 9:27 PM

Thanks Srinivas,
yep you are correct, in regards to my questions.
I mean you are saying to copy outline from one BSO cube to other cubes manually.or Is there any maxl command to copy outline form one cube to other.
considering the size of the cubes, i'm planning to split the cube in to multiple, each line of buinsess (front end cube) will have there own cube instead of all users loging to one cube.
so what i want is to maintain all hierarchy's on one cube. Then partition the dimensions pertaining to that cube only.
what i mean is only portion of dimension will go to one cube and other portion to another cube.
store (7)
->regions (12)
-->subregions (190)
I want 7 regions to one cube and another 5 regions to other cube.
update hierarchy on one cube and sync to other cubes theough replication partition or other ways........i want only heirarchy sync ...........no data sync from source to target cube.
thanks for reply srinivas
Thanks

Automated BSO / ASO Outline Dimension Build

Hi,
I am trying to dynamically build an BSO cube outline using RULE file and DATA files.
But am experiencing challenges.
Does the cube have to intial dimensions in the outline(ie PRODUCT)? Or any dimensions?
I am speciifying the PRODUCT dimension only in the DATA file, and in the RULE file specifying it as a PARENT, and the second row as CHILD.
But it errors.
Can this same methodology be used to build ASO cube outlines as well?
Can anyone assists in overcoming this frustrating hiccup.
Thanks

The easiest way to do this is to have the dimension at least specified in advance, but if you can't do that, then you can define the dimension in the load rule. Select Dimension build settings, then go to the tab Dimension Definition. In the bottom half, you can define a dimension

Performance of Financial Reports against a ASO Cube to a BSO Cube

Hi All,
I am working on Financial Reporting and Essbase. I wanted to understand and find some relevant documentation, which tells about the performance issues or difference when a financial report hits a BSO cube or an ASO cube.
1. If there is a difference in the performance for an ASO vs BSO for Financial Reports, where can I find the document or details for it?
2. If there is a difference in the performance for an ASO vs BSO for Financial Reports, what is the reason for the same?
3. How can we improve the ASO performance for the reports?
Any insights for the same, would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ankur Jain.

Thanks Sean V,
Its quite amazing for me as well, and that is why I am trying drill into any of the FR documentation which might contain something like this. As of now,since I don't have access to the cube, I have nothing to add, nor have the insights to the cube, based upon which I could explain, more on the Cube and Outline design.
But as soon as I get the access, I will bring this back and have a discussion on the forum.
Thanks for confirming the same, of what I had been explaining to my Client side as well. Though, I still need some basis to explain and prove them exactly and a prototype as well, which might be needed as well.
Thanks,
Ankur Jain.

Need a process to update BSO Planning Web form into an ASO Cube

Need a process to update information from the BSO Planning Web form into an ASO Report Cube every (5) five minutes.
Please advise

Thanks here is Part 2 of my questions
Details:
User Input data into a web form for Intersection are the following:
Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4 , Account AAAA, 1000
Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4 , Account BBBB, 2000
Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4 , Account TTTT, 4000
Dim1,Dim2,Dim3,Dim4 , Account ZZZZ, 7000
Design Question:
In the ASO Reporting Cube
AAAA and BBBB are both at level 0 in both cube
TTTT and ZZZZ are being loaded to a parent which is Level 1
MY Issue with the Design Question ???
ASO Cubes can only be load at a level 0.
So how can I complete this task, what are my option:
My thinking process is the XRef Calc Script could push data the cube, than by built a maxl scripts that would run the Calc script and put this scripts into some kind of system scheduler running the Maxl Scripts Every (5) Mintues
or am i way off base here ????
Please advise
Thanks in Advance

Outline Change ASO cube in Version 7

Hi Guys,
I am working on version 7 of EAS.
I have to make a minor change(add a child) to the outline in the ASO cube. I am not able to see the option of retain data with restructure ( which is the case with higher versions).
so how do i save the restructure and data in version 7 of Essbase.
any inputs will be great
Thanks
Ram

You don't Version 7 deletes data with most outline changes. (Simple changes like chaging a formula might not delete data). THe whole premise of ASO cubes was you would always have the source data to reload from. In System 9 it was improved to be able to retain data in most cases

ASO Cube with BSO Partition as a Target

Hi,
Can someone please explain me the following because after reading different blogs as well as some other Essbase documents I am not able to understand,
What is the actual use of having a BSO Transparent partition (target) of an ASO cube (source)?
How exactly does the Write-Back functionality works if I have a BSO Transparent partition (target) of an ASO cube (source)?
And lastly, in what business scenario one would implement a BSO Transparent partition (target) of an ASO cube (source)?
Your help is much appreciated.
thanks,
fikes

I have a situation where I have a BSO (target) on top of an ASO (source). This was to try and resolve the dynamic time series (where time and periods are in different dimensions). The DTS works almost great in the BSO partition.
The other problem (or why we wanted to go to ASO) was that BSO cubes do not handle attributes across partitions (we have quarterly data in transparent partitions) to the target cube. -- but we do have dynamic time series.
What I'm facing now it that the attributes work in the BSO (target) except when using a dynamic time series.
The attributes are defined in both the BSO and ASO cubes.
Any suggestions on how to handle attributes AND dynamic time series ?

Impacts on converting ASO cubes to BSO cubes

Hi, We want to convert 7 ASO cubes to BSO because we areexperimenting some bugs on ASO, what are the impacts of doing this ? Thanks in advance kbbft

Usually people are trying to convert BSO to ASO. It's interesting to see this coming full circle with new users of Essbase starting off with ASO and not having the BSO experience and now having to work backwards from there. I think it shows how powerful ASO is becoming.
For your situation your MDX needs to be converted to Calc Script language. Tuples are represented using cross dimensional operators (->) and you need to end your statements with a semi colon (;).
+ Current Month vs Prior Month (+) Formulae : &CurMon->&CurYr - &PrMon->&PrMonYear;
+ Current Month vs Prior Month % (+) Formulae : ((&CurMon->&CurYr - &PrMon->&PrMonYear) /&PrMon->&PrMonYear) * 100;

EPMA 11.1.2.1 - All rights suddenly grayed out after deploying ASO cube.

I created and successfully deployed an ASO Cube using EPMA (11.1.2.1). The next day, all rights to the ASO cube were grayed out in Application Library (i.e. Deploy option was grayed out). We learned from Oracle Support that you need to explicitly provision the creator with Application Manager rights to the cube, even if you are the creator of the application. This
behavior for ASO (and probably BSO cubes) is consistent when compared to a Planning Application (creator is automatically provisioned). Oracle Support confirmed that this is the correct behavior and that EPMA is functioning as designed.

Are you saying that if you add the attributes manually in application it is coming to essbase and the ones in shared dimension are not coming.
Check whether attribute is inherited or defined at application level.

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]+
+[Mon Nov 15 20:28:28 2010]Local/TestSec5/TestSec5/admin/Info(1260039)+
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.
HOpe this helps

ASO cube structure

Hi everyone,
I'm aware of the main differences between aggregate storage and block storage in terms of performance and features (http://www.datawarehousingsupport.com/2010/03/differences-between-aggregate-and-block.html). However I don't know anything about how ASO cubes are structured on a bit-level and the algorithms used to peform fast search (e.g. hashing, trie ...) on them.
Someone suggested me to read the Dan Pressman's presentation on www.odtug.com. It's a good beginning but does anynone have further documentation?
Thanks,

Probably you are running into this one:
Bug 14469960 - DATA REPLICATION FROM BSO TO ASO CRASHES TARGET DATABASE
Supposedly they fixed this issue in 11.1.2.2 but we are getting the problem on a 11.1.2.2 system.

MDX query performance on ASO cube with dynamic members

We have an ASO cube and we are using MDX queries to extract data from that cube. We are doing some performance testing on the MDX data extract.
Recently we made around 15-20 account dimension members dynamic in the ASO cube, and it is taking around 1 and a half hour for the query to run on an empty cube. Earlier the query was running in 1 minute on the empty cube when there were no dynamic members in the cube.
Am not clear why it takes so much time to extract data from MDX on an empty cube when there is nothing to extract. The performance has also degraded while extracting data on the cube with data in it.
Does dynamic members in the outline affect the MDX performance? Is there a way to exclude dynamic members from the MDX extract?
I appreciate any insights on this issue.

I guess it depends on what the formulas of those members in the dynamic hierarchy are doing.
As an extreme example, I can write a member formula to count every unique member combination in the cube and assign it to multiple members, regardless if I have any data in the database or not, that function is going to resolve itself when you query it and it is going to take a lot of time. You are probably somewhere in between there and a simple function that doesn't require any over head. So without seeing the MDX it is hard to say what about it might be causing an issue.
As far as excluding members there are various function in MDX to narrow down the set you are querying
Filter(), Contains(), Except(), Is(), Subset(), UDA(), etc.
Keep in mind you did not make members dynamic, you made a hierarchy dynamic, that is not the same thing and it does impact the way Essbase internally optimizes the database based on Stored vs dynamic hierarchies. So that alone can have an impact as well.

Data load in Essbase ASO cube

Hi,
I have not been using ASO cube before and had worked only on BSO cubes. Now I have a requirement to create a rule file to load data in to an ASO Essbase cube. I have created a data load rule file as I was creating for a BSO cube which is correctly validating. However when I am doing the data load I am getting following warning:
"Aggregate storage applications ignore update to derived cells. [480] cells skipped"
I have investigated further and found that ASO cube does not allow data loading at upper levels & on members calculated through formulas. After this I have ensured that I am loading the data in to zero level members and members which are not calculated through formula. But still I am not able to do the data load & getting the same warning.
Could you please help me and let me know if there is anything else which I am missing here?
Thanks in advance...
AKW

Hi AKW,
"Aggregate storage applications ignore update to derived cells. [480] cells skipped"This is only a warning message that means only those many cells were skipped might be for some reasons like any member pointing to those cells will be missing.
If you want to copy the Data of your BSO cube to an ASO Application why dont you use an PARTIONING it will copy your whole data from BSO to ASO (If Outline is common in both then copy any member of Sparse dimension like "Scenario 1" from Source i.e. BSO, to same member like "Scenario 1" in Target i.e ASO ),
This is only an alternate wayThanks

Design Aggrigation for ASO cubes

Hi All,
We are 12 ASO cubes in each server and each cube have minimum 5-6 months data .Normal aggregation data preview is taking lot of time .So we are planing to do design aggregation .We have a small doubt about this aggregation like
**1)its going to be do every time we load the data into cubes or once we do this it will create automatically**
**2)Suppose this month we have loaded 2 months data into cubes after that we perform design aggregation .Then again next month we load the 2 months data into cubes . again we need to do total 4 months design aggregation or is there is any method we can do partial design aggregation or incremental design aggregation .i.eLike already we have done the design aggregation so i want to do only next two months not total 4 months **
Kindly let me know if any automation process available for this .
Thanks,
Vikram

Hi Vikram,
Which version are you using?
1) Do you reset the cube(clear the data) whenever you re-load your cube?
If yes, you can't expect your earlier aggregations be still there. However, if you've saved your agg. selections & outline is more/less the same, you can materialize the aggs. by using the saved script.
If your load is an incremental one, the changes that take place to your outline matters a lot as they may invalidate your previous agg. selections.
2) As more Lev0 data starts flowing in, you've to periodically monitor for the trade-off b/n agg. time/space and performance requirements. The only thing I know about incremental agg. for ASO is via enabling user query tracking & doing the necessary aggs.
