Error when duplicating an ASO cube!

Question

Hi all,
I was trying to create a DB in an ASO App similar to another DB in a different ASO App but I'm getting this error message:
ERROR - 1013292 - Operation not supported for aggregate storage applications.
But when looking at the Tech reference, they are are showing example of this kind of operation. In other words I wanted to this:
MaxL:
create database App2.DB2 as App1.DB1;
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

After digging in the tech reference I found a solution of copying a creating an ASO DB as another ASO DB using MaxL. More than that, you can even convert a BSO to ASO using the same method. here is the MaxL script:
login $1 $2;
spool on to 'maxl_log.txt';
create or replace application Sample2 using aggregate_storage
comment 'aggregate storage version of Sample';
create database Sample2.Basic2
comment 'aggregate storage version of Sample Basic';
create or replace outline on aggregate_storage database Sample2.Basic2
as outline on database sample.basic;
alter database Sample2.Basic2 initialize load buffer with buffer_id 1;
import database Sample2.Basic2 data
from server data_file 'c:\\hyperion\\essbase\\app\\Sample2\\Basic2\\calcdat.txt'
to load_buffer with buffer_id 1
on error abort;
import database Sample2.Basic2 data from load_buffer with buffer_id 1;
execute aggregate process on database Sample2.Basic2
stopping when total_size exceeds 1.9;
spool off;
logout;
