Difference between copying cube content using datamarts and direct copying

Hi Experts,
I have been going through the SDN for the last 6 months  and this is my first post
I know two methods of copying the cube content from one cube to another.
One is data mart method in which we create a datasource based on the cube and
then create a transformation between the new cube and datasource.
This method is used if our source cube is in same server or in diff server.
Other method is directly copying the cube content from source to destination
by creating a transformation between two cubes .
this is used if source cube anddestc u be are in same server.
My  doubt is if both the cubes are in same server then what is diff between first method
and second method,
Please clarify me

Hi,
Now Iam closing this thread with a conclusion .
The question is what is the difference between copying cube
content using datamarts and direct copying
Also what are there any other methods to copy cube contents
from one cube to another.
The  diff bet using data marts and direct copying is
In case of datamarts,ven if the source cube is changed in futute there is no effect on the target cube.
In case of copying directly,whenever the source cube is changed,the transformation becomes inactive.
so we have to activate the transformation again.
ALso there are some other methods to copy cube contents fron one to other .
But datamarts is sap standard one.
Thankyo every one for giving answers
Regards,
Sundar

  • Difference between invoking a method using reflect.proxy and reflect.Method

    Could any one tell me the difference between invoking a method using reflection java.lang.reflect.Method and java.lang.reflect.Proxy
    using both the class, we can invoke a method at runtime
    1)
    Method mthd=cl.getMethod("methodName",parameterName);
    Integer output=(Integer)mthd.invoke(new RunMthdRef(),input);
    2)
    Proxy.newProxyInstance(super.getClass().getClassLoader(), new Class[] { adapter }, new SomeClass(this));
    Does anybody have any idea?

    The two idioms are fundamentally different. Using java.lang.reflect.Method is how we call a method on a class, using Proxy is how we intercept that method call. An exercise for you, to illustrate that they do not do the same thing: write a simple class with one method, then use java.lang.reflect.Method to invoke that method, and then use a Proxy to invoke that method

  • Difference between a "flow content" and "positional content"?

    Hey All,
    I have a question. What is the difference between a "flow content" subform and a "positional content" subform? Just wondering what the difference is and how they differ in function. Any help would be greatly needed.

    There is a similar question to yours that you can find here:

  • Difference between the design of clusters PCLx and others like RFBLG etc .

    There are a few nagging questions which I was not able to find in the forum hence i have to post a new question.
    I am a little confused about the difference between the different clusters .
    If i start with RFBLG i.e. the cluster for BSEG BSEC etc ,I can see that the tables which are part of this cluster
    can be viewed through different methods like
    1) whr usd list for RFBLG
    2) dd02l table and give the required parameters there
    now when I compare this with another so-called cluster PCL1 if find that PCL1 is not recognized as  a cluster
    and also I am not able to see the same in dd02l table when i give PCL1 and the tabtype as cluster which I was able to see
    for the RFBLG ,there are other tables similar to RFBLG .
    1) SO what is the difference between the RFBLG type of clusters and the PCLx type of cluster
    2) are pclx and rfblg..type of clusters same ?
    3) why does PCL1 shows that it is a transparent table ? where as rfblg shows in a diff way in se11
    4) i know we access data from PCL1 using import and export stmts ,DO OR CAN WE DO THE SAME FOR RFBLG
    5) I found that each and evry cluster table had diff fields ,this was kinda surprising for me as I had been thinking
    that all cluster tables need to follow a certain rule ,SO WHO DECIDES THE FIELDS OF A TABLE CLUSTER ?
    6) PCL1 has the index button enabled ,which again I think is not according to the cluster table rules?how?
    7) I understand that we can save data in form of internal tables in the PCL1 cluster ,can we do the same in RFBLG ?
    8) Can I think on lines that PCL1 and RFBLG type of cluster are two totally different types of data dictionary objects
    and the usage and implementation of both of them is different and that the design and the BASE of both of such objects
    is different .
    I know this is a long list but I am sure that answers to these questions would really require some one who has really really work hard and invested a lot of time in understanding the dictionary system.I am awaiting a few answers ,few hints and a healthy discussion till we get them .
    Thanks ...

    Hello,
    1/
    BSEG is a typical Cluster Table.
    This means that the physical table BSEG does NOT exist in the database, physical data for BSEG is stored in the database (table) cluster RFBLG.
    In ABAP however you can perform selects on BSEG (with all fields from the SAP repository structure, see SE11 on BSEG), during execution the SAP database layer will translate these statements to physical selects in the RFBLG database table, so in ABAP this is transparant.
    More info :

    PCL1, PCL2, ... are normal SAP transparent tables, however in HR they are often called HR cluster table.
    Transparent tables are SAP objects where there is also a database table with the same name that contains the physical data.
    However the PCL tables are somewhat different from normal transparent tables (data is compressed, external programs can not interpret the data, ...).
    This means that in ABAP you can not use simple SQL statements to access data in PCL tables (because of compressed format).
    In stead statements like EXPORT TO DATABASE and IMPORT FROM DATABASE need to be used.

  • HT1351 Two days ago most of my music dissapeared from my Ipod, however all of it is still in my iTunes Library. After synchronizing the Ipod there is ahuge difference between both music inm my library and the one in the Ipod.

    Two days ago most of my music dissapeared from my Ipod, however all of it is still in my iTunes Library. After synchronizing the Ipod there is a huge difference between both music in my library and the one in the Ipod.

    Hi Rodobaldo,
    Let's try to clear up this issue for you, I'd like to clear out the music on your iPod first. You'll want to find the Sync Music Checkbox, uncheck it, then Apply or Sync:
    Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPod nano, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following article:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod

  • What is the difference between credit memo in invoice year and in next year

    Hi!
    I'm new here.I'm study SAP ERP.I don't know what is the difference between credit memo in invoice year and credit memo in next year (asset accounting).Can you show and give me an example, please!
    Thanks and best regards!
    Edited by: dinhtuan on Jun 28, 2010 3:10 PM

    Hi,
    Maybe have a look at the SAP Help for further information (http://help.sap.com) : e.g. 'Posting Credit Memos Integrated with Vendor'  or 'Posting a Credit Memo Offset Against a Clearing Account' 
    Transaction type 105 for credit memo on current acquisition made in the current year, posting key 75. Or transaction type 160 for credit memo on acquisitions from prior years. posting key 75.
    Note: determine if the asset was acquired in the current fiscal year or in a closed fiscal year (Display asset values).
    If the asset was acquired in a fiscal year that is now closed, correct the past depreciation using a write-up (in that case check out and refer to Posting Write-Ups).
    I hope this helps.
    Kind regards,
    Brigitte

  • Differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9"

    Dear Adobe Support Team,
    I need to know the differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9". I have worked with Acrobat 7 and have used the same script after installing Acrobat 9 for Automation Testing with QTP for validating pdf. The object "AcroExch.AVDoc" is not getting identified as object while working in QTP in the system/machine which has Acrobat 9 installed, whereas it works well in the machine which has Acrobat 7 installed . So it will be better if two things are known as per my understanding, ie.,
    it must have compatibility issue (i need the difference between "Adobe Acrobat versions 7 & 9" to assure this) or
    installation issue( which can be confirmed if the former question is answered).
    So i kindly request you to help me out for this scenario.
    Kind Regards,
    Vikraman.G

    Countless new features were introduced between Acrobat 7 and 9, are you really expecting us to type out a full list from memory?
    If you are having specific issues with the Acrobat SDK, first refer to the Acrobat SDK for the higher version. If there remains an issue I suggest posting about the specific problem in the Acrobat SDK forum, rather than asking for an encylopedia of all possible information...
    Note that Adobe do not support multiple installations of Acrobat on the same machine, so you can expect development issues if you do this.

  • Difference between execution mode of Print preview and Print for Output

    Hello,
    Can anybody tell the difference between execution mode of print preview and print for an output (For eg. PO output or Invoice)?. I am trying to download some documents linked to Purchase order to desktop. The code is written in the same driver program for printing PO and it is executed after smartform function module is called. It works fine in print preview mode and it fails in print mode. The reason why download fails in print mode is that GUI not available (just found from debugging).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Anil

    HI
    try using any other printer and find out if you are getting the correct output. The printer needs to support Multiple Unicode encoding schemes like UTF 8, UTF 16BE, and UTF 16LE, plus special characters and logos, bi-directional text layout, and custom characters..

  • Difference between Testing Message in Integarion Engine and Adapter Engine

    Hi Experts,
    in project, we always test message in runtime workbench>component monitoring>integration engine-->Test Messge
    however, i also find that in  runtime workbench>component monitoring>adapter engine also exists a Test Message tab.
    we don't have access to test messages in this tab, so can anyone tell that what is the difference between testing message in integration engine and adapter engine?
    thanks in advance.

    The usual flow of messages in scenarios which use adapters at both sender and receiver end is as follows
    Sender system -> Adapter Engine -> Integration Engine -> Adapter Engine -> Receiver system
    When you use the testing option in IE, then you are basically posting the message directly to the Integration Engine.
    When you use the testing option in AE, then you are trying to post the message to the adapter engine, which will then forward the message to the Integration Engine. IN this testing, you are also testing the sender adapter also.

    Hi Rajasekhar,
    If date is characteristics,query can be analysed based on date and filters can also be set using this date.
    If it is key figure query cannot be analysed based on date,
    Based on requirements,we have to decide whether it should be chatracteristic or key figure
