Clear Partial Data in an Essbase Aggregate storage database

Can anyone let me know how to clear partial data from an Aggregate storage database in Essbase v 11.1.13? We are trying to clear some data in our dbase and don’t want to clear out all the data. I am aware that in Version 11 Essbase it will allow for a partial clear if we write using mdx commands.
Can you please help me on the same by giving us some examples n the same?
Thanks!

John, I clearly get the difference between two. What I am asking is in the EAS tool itself for v 11.1.1.3 we have option - right clicking on the DB and getting option "Clear" and in turn sub options like "All Data", "All aggregations" and "Partial Data".
I want to know more on this option part. How will this option know which partial data to be removed or will this option ask us to write some MAXL query for the same"?

Maxl to clear partial data in ASO applications

Hi ,
Is there a maxl statement to clear partial data from ASO applications?
Thanks
Kannan.

Hi,
Another solution, close to what garycris suggested, is to create a report script to export the subset of data you want to delete to a text file. Then load this text file using a load rule that replaces your data column by a missing column.
You can then call the report script and the load rule using a calc script.
Problem is you need to also have a BSO database to do that. If it's the case then your good.
If not, you can probably do that from a maxl script.
Good practice would be to have a CLRASO load rule for all you clear process, and then make sure that your different clear report script fit its format. You end up with n clear report scripts, n clear calc scripts or maxl scripts, and 1 clear load rule.

Allocations on Aggregate Storage Databases

How do I use EssPerformAllocationAso function and ESS_PERF_ALLOC_T API structure to run an Allocation in an ASO database? I need help in creating this.

First I'll assume you are on 11.1.2 becouae it this is the only version this is valid for. I'm not sure why you are coing the api route. The best way to do this is either through Calc Manager or MAxL Execute Allocation command. Even if you want to use the api to do it, looking at the parameters in the MaxL statement and the example would give you a good indication of what needs to be passed

Loading data using send function in Excel to aggregate storage cube

Hi there
just got version 9.3.1. installed. Can finally load to aggregate storage database using excel essbase send. however, very slow, especially when loading many lines of data. Block storage much much faster. Is there any way you can speed up loading to aggreagate storage data base? Or is this an architectural issue and therefore not much can be done?

As far as I know, it is an architectural issue.. Further, I would expect it to slow down even further if you have numerous people writing back simultaneously because, as I understand it, they are throttling the update process on the server side so a single user is actually 'writing' at a time. At least this is better than earlier versions where other users couldn't even do a read when the database was being loaded; I believe that restriction has been lifted as part of the 'trickle-feed' support (although I haven't tested it)..

Clearing data in the essbase

Hi
what are the ways available to clear the data in the essbase??
Can u able to reply with the steps??
I am using EAS 7.1.3...
in addition with this can you provide me the maxl command for clearing the data??
Thanks in advance.

Drill into data in an essbase cube.

Hey all, I have a problem I need some help/advice with.
I have an Essbase cube which has a date style hierachy of year, year & quarter, year and month, year month and day.
I have a chart showing the current values, monthly, over the last 12 months. When you select one of the monthsit drills into the data to show the daily values for the month selected. All works OK.
The only problem I have, and it os only cosmetic, is that the time access along the bottom changes to show values for every level in the hierachy, and I only want it to show the next level down.
Example - desired:
2010/08 -> 01/08/2010.........02/08/2010..... etc.....
Example - current:
2010/08 -> 2010, 2010/Q3, 2010/08, 01/08/2010.........2010, 2010/Q3, 2010/08, 02/08/2010........etc....
The only solution I have at present is to change the interaction to naviagte rather than drill and the navigated report is the correct format.
Can anyone else suggest anything?
Thanks in advance

11.1.1 DBAG:
Methods for Clearing Data from Specific Regions of Aggregate Storage Databases:
Within an aggregate storage database, you can clear data from a specific region and retain the data located in other regions. This feature is useful when you want to delete volatile data (such as data corresponding to the last month) but retain historical data. You must have Database Manager or Administrator permission to clear data.
Methods for clearing data from a region:
(1) Physical, in which the input cells in the region are physically removed from the database
(2) Logical, in which the input cells in the region are written to a new data slice and negative, compensating values are used, thus resulting in a value of zero for the cells that are cleared
To clear data from a specified region, you can use the alter database MaxL statement with the clear data in region grammar. The syntax for the statement is as follows:
*alter database appname.dbname clear data in region {MDX set expression} [physical];*

Aggregate Storage Backup level 0 data

When exporting level 0 data from aggregate storage through abatch job you can use a maxL script with "export database[dbs-name] using server report_file [file_name] to data_file[file_name]". But how do I build a report script that exportsall level 0 data so that I can read it back with a load rule? Can anyone give me an example of such a report script, thatwould be very helpful. If there is a better way to approach this matter, please let meknow. Thanks/Fredrik

An example from the Sample:Basic database: // This Report Script was generated by the Essbase QueryDesigner<SETUP { TabDelimit } { decimal 13 } { IndentGen -5 }<ACCON <SYM <QUOTE <END<COLUMN("Year")<ROW("Measures","Product","Market","Scenario")// Page Members// Column Members// Selection rules and output options for dimension: Year{OUTMBRNAMES} <Link ((<LEV("Year","Lev0,Year")) AND ( <IDESC("Year")))// Row Members// Selection rules and output options for dimension:Measures{OUTMBRNAMES} <Link ((<LEV("Measures","Lev0,Measures")) AND (<IDESC("Measures")))// Selection rules and output options for dimension: Product{OUTMBRNAMES} <Link ((<LEV("Product","SKU")) AND ( <IDESC("Product")))// Selection rules and output options for dimension: Market{OUTMBRNAMES} <Link ((<LEV("Market","Lev0,Market")) AND ( <IDESC("Market")))// Selection rules and output options for dimension:Scenario{OUTMBRNAMES} <Link ((<LEV("Scenario","Lev0,Scenario")) AND (<IDESC("Scenario")))!// End of Report Note that no attempt was made here to eliminate shared membervalues.

Partial data clear in ASO possible for multiple tuples?

Hi,
I am trying to do a partial data clear in an ASO cube. I need to clear FY12->Oct & FY13->Nov (consecutive periods). Here's what I tried:
+alter database 'GL_TXT'.'GL_TXT' clear data in region '{([FY12],[Oct]),([FY13],[Nov])}' physical;+
No error is thrown but the data isn't cleared either. The statement finishes execution almost immediately.
I tried the UNION function but that didn't work either. Here's how my statement looks with the UNION function:
+alter database 'GL_TXT'.'GL_TXT' clear data in region '{UNION({([FY12],[Oct])},{([FY13],[Nov])})}' physical;+
Again, no error but no clear either. The UNION pulls the correct data set when used in a Select statement:
+SELECT UNION({([FY12],[Oct])},{([FY13],[Nov])}) ON COLUMNS FROM GL_TXT.GL_TXT;+
I can get it to clear if I write separate statements for each period but I want to have them in a single script as I suspect two scripts wouldn't be very efficient.
Please help!
Thanks,
Shashi

Thanks for your reply Vasavya! Running the region clear scripts twice (once for each month) is still faster for me than using the report script approach. I want to see if having both periods in one statement will improve the performance :)

Shashi

Aggregate storage data export failed - Ver 9.3.1

Hi everyone,
We have two production server; Server1 (App/DB/Shared Services Server), Server2 (Anaytics). I am trying to automate couple of our cubes using Win Batch Scripting and MaxL. I can export the data within EAS successfully but when I use the following command in a MaxL Editor, it gives the following error.
Here's the MaxL I used, which I am pretty sure that it is correct.

Incremental Load in Aggregate Storage

Hi, From what I understand, Aggregate Storage (ASO) clears all dataif a new member gets added to the outline.This is unlike Block Storage (BSO) where we can restructure thecube if new member is added to the outline. We need to load data daily into an ASO cube and the cubecontains 5 yrs of data. We may get a new member in the customerdimension daily. Is there a way we can retain (restructure)existing data when updating the customer dimension and then add thenew data? Otherwise, we will have to rebuild the cube daily andtherefore reload 5 yrs of data (about 600 million recs) on a dailybasis. Is there a better way of doing this in ASO? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks--- suren_v

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

Aggregate storage cache warning during buffer commit

h5. Summary
Having followed the documentation to set the ASO storage cache size I still get a warning during buffer load commit that says it should be increased.
h5. Storage Cache Setting
The documentation says:
A 32 MB cache setting supports a database with approximately 2 GB of input-level data. If the input-level data size is greater than 2 GB by some factor, the aggregate storage cache can be increased by the square root of the factor. For example, if the input-level data size is 3 GB (2 GB * 1.5), multiply the aggregate storage cache size of 32 MB by the square root of 1.5, and set the aggregate cache size to the result: 39.04 MB.
My database has 127,643,648k of base data which is 60.8x bigger than 2GB. SQRT of this is 7.8 so I my optimal cache size should be (7.8*32MB) = 250MB. My cache size is in fact 256MB because I have to set it before the data load based on estimates.
h5. Data Load
The initial data load is done in 3 maxl sessions into 3 buffers. The final import output then looks like this:
MAXL> import database "4572_a"."agg" data from load_buffer with buffer_id 1, 2, 3;
OK/INFO - 1270041 - For better performance, increase the size of aggregate storage cache.
OK/INFO - 1270041 - For better performance, increase the size of aggregate storage cache.
OK/INFO - 1270041 - For better performance, increase the size of aggregate storage cache.
OK/INFO - 1003058 - Data load buffer commit elapsed time : [5131.49] seconds.
OK/INFO - 1241113 - Database import completed ['4572_a'.'agg'].
MAXL>
h5. The Question
Can anybody tell me why the final import is recommending increasing the storage cache when it is already slightly larger than the value specified in the documentation?
h5. Versions
Essbase Release 11.1.2 (ESB11.1.2.1.102B147)
Linux version 2.6.32.12-0.7-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.3.4 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 152973] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP 2010-05-20 11:14:20 +0200 64 bit

My understanding is that storage cache setting calculation you quoted is based on the cache requirements for retrieval. This recommendation has remained unchanged since ASO was first introduced in v7 (?) and was certainly done before the advent of parallel loading.
I think that the ASO cache is used during the combination of the buffers. As a result depending on how ASO works internally you would get this warning unless your buffer was:
1. = to the final load size of the database
2. OR if the cache was only used when data existed for the same "Sparse" combination of dimensions in more than one buffer the required size would be a function of the number of cross buffer combinations required
3. OR if the Cache is needed only when compression dimension member groups cross buffers
By "Sparse" dimension I mean the non-compressed dimensions.
Therefore you might try some experiments. To test case x above:
1. Forget it you will get this message unless you have a cache large enough for the final data set size on disk
2. sort your data so that no dimensional combination exists in more than one buffer - ie sort by all non-compression dimensions then by the compression dimension
3. Often your compression dimension is time based (EVEN THOUGH THIS IS VERY SUB-OPTIMAL). If so you could sort the data by the compression dimension only and break the files so that the first 16 compression members (as seen in the outline) are in buffer 1, the next 16 in buffer 2 and the next in buffer 3
Also if your machine is IO bound (as most are during a load of this size) and your cpu is not - try using os level compression on your input files - it could speed things up greatly.
Finally regarding my comments on time based compression dimension - you should consider building a stored dimension for this along the lines of what I have proposed in some posts on network54 (search for DanP on network54.com/forum/58296 - I would give you a link but it is down now).
OR better yet in the forthcoming book (of which Robb is a co-author) Developing Essbase Applications: Advanced Techniques for Finance and IT Professionals http://www.amazon.com/Developing-Essbase-Applications-Techniques-Professionals/dp/1466553308/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335973291&sr=8-1
I really hope you will try the suggestions above and post your results.

Clearing partially a document using POSTING_INTERFACE_CLEARING

Hello.
I want to clear partially a financial document using POSTING_INTERFACE_CLEARING (transaction FB05), but when I try to do it, I obtain an error "No data for SAPDF05X dynpro 3100".
I can clear it completely.
Is it possible to clear partially a financial document?
Thanks very much.

Hi Friends,
I had the same problem (partially) and solved it by the FM with a simple solution.
When the value is not same, you can post other document, to costumer like this:
Batch Input Values
lt_ftpost-stype = 'P'."Header
lt_ftpost-count = 2. "number of Dynpro
lt_ftpost-fnam = 'RF05A-NEWBS'.
lt_ftpost-fval = '40'. "
*Same type as documents cleared via F-32
APPEND lt_ftpost.
lt_ftpost-count = 2. "number of Dynpro
lt_ftpost-fnam = 'RF05A-NEWKO'.
lt_ftpost-fval = gl_account "G/L account.
*Same type as documents cleared via F-32
APPEND lt_ftpost.
lt_ftpost-stype = 'P'."Header
lt_ftpost-count = 2. "number of Dynpro
lt_ftpost-fnam = 'BSEG-WRBTR'.
lt_ftpost-fval = '600,00'. " the partially amount.
*Same type as documents cleared via F-32
APPEND lt_ftpost.

Using Aggregate storage cubes to aggregate and populate DWHSE

Has anyone ever used aso cube to aggregate data and put it into a datawarehouse? We are exploring the option of using essbase ASO's to aggregate data from a fact into summary form then loading the required data via dataexport in version (9.3.1) OR (9.5)
whatever version supports aso AND dataexport.

Hi Whiterook72,
Heterogenous data sources -> ETL -> warehouse -> essbase/OLAP -> MIS and analyses
Conventionally, in an enterprise , we have essbase or an OLAP engine after the warehouse .As a level of aggregation happens in warehouse ,and for the multidimensional view ,we push it into OLAP.
Contrariwise , in your case ,
Heterogenous data sources -> ETL ->essbase/olap -> warehouse -> MIS and analyses
you want to bring essbas before you load the data into warehouse .This would make essbase to feed from the operational data sources, where we have a lil problem.
Ex: for a bank ,operational data has information at customer level i.e you have individual customer name, and their respective info like addres,transaction info bla bla bla.
So,to feed this info into essbase cube ( with an objective of aggregation) , you got to have millions of members ( i.e all customers ) in your outline .
Which i see is not the objective of essbase .
Just my thoughts , hope they help you
