Export - import between ASO and BSO cubes of different structure

Hi everybody!
I have a 'large' ASO cube with information for a period of several years.
I need to be able to load a smaller slice (e.g. one quarter) from the 'large' cube into a BSO cube with a different (simpler) structure , perform calculations and then load the updated data back to the 'large' ASO cube.
What's the best way to approach this (import - export)?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi GlennS,
Hello and thank you again for the help.
I'm running version 9.3.1
The ASO cube has 12 dimensions plus 8 attribute dimensions.
The BSO cube - 8 dimensions plus 2 attribute dimensions.
Data size:
The ASO cube is about 1 GB, about 16 M input level cells. Only about 10 % of it will be extracted and loaded into the BSO cube.
The BSO cube is ~ 300 MB fully calculated. 300,000 existing blocks
I prefer not to load the BSO cube from the same source as because ASO cube contains not only the source data, but also modifications - for example - allocations etc. I would like to keep these modifications and to be able to load (modified) data to BSO, make additional modifications and then 'save' the modified data back to the ASO.
How should I approach loading data back to the ASO? I will need to 'replace' a slice of ASO cube - delete the 'old version' cells and load new version from the BSO cube.
Thanks,
Alex

  • Sharing complex substitution variable values between ASO and BSO databases

    We have ASO and BSO Essbase database member names with spaces in, and need to store some of these member names in substitution variables. However, this has to be done differently for ASO and BSO, due to calc script syntax requiring double quotes and MDX requiring square brackets. For example:
    ASO:
    &CurWeek value = Week 1
    MDX: [&CurWeek]
    BSO:
    &CurWeek value = "Week 1"
    Calc Script: &CurWeek
    As a result, the substitution variables cannot be shared between the ASO and BSO cubes, since the BSO variable value requires double quotes due to the space in the member name.
    Is there a way to get the above to work with both ASO and BSO? Can the double quotes be escaped in calc script syntax? Or can the double quotes be removed in the MDX formula?

    Hi TimG,
    Apologies for such a late reponse to this, genuinely haven't had a spare second to reply until now!
    Yes, I suspect a complex alias name may be the best solution here, and to remove the spaces from the actual member names.
    I was not aware of the latter part at all. My colleague has confirmed as much on this too - DBAG 11.1.2.1 pp117 & 118:
    "Note: If a substitution variable value is numeric or a member name starting with a
    numeral or containing the special characters referred to above is to be used both
    in MDX and non-MDX situations, create two substitution variables, one without
    the value enclosed in quotation marks and one with the value in quotation marks."
    "To ensure that a new substitution variable value is available in formulas, partition definitions,
    and security filters, stop and restart the application. All other uses of substitution variables are
    dynamically resolved when used."
    This last paragraph is the most concerning since we were planning to be able to update substitution variables values and then access the new values from calc scripts and formulae instantaneously. This quirk is unexpected and a little inconvenient. We may have to look at scheduling a change of substitution variable value overnight, followed by a stop/start of the app ready for the next day, and to work around needing to access changed values instantly.

  • Exporting/Importing between Motion and FCP

    Hi, I'm trying to export a piece of DV PAL Anamorphic video footage into Motion to adjust it and then export it back into FCP. But when I export it back to FCP I don't seem to be using the right settings as it becomes squeezed 4:3. It's still in anamorphic in Motion, my problem is just when it exports from Motion back to FCP.
    Can you help me work out what I'm doing wrong please?

    Final Cut forgets it's anamorphic after it's little outing to Motion. Simple right-click on the clip in the timeline, select item properties, and add a checkmark in the anamorphic line.

  • ASO and BSO Transparent partition

    Hi
    I have couple of questions regarding transparent partition, please help me out,
    1) I have two ASO cubes and one empty BSO cube, do I need to run security (apply filters) on both ASO and BSO cubes?
    2) How should I give access to users? For example: what should I write as "..."identified by" ....
    TO 'VZB_ISu'.'VB_IS' AT "localhost"
    AS "....." IDENTIFIED BY "....."
    AREA '"2006","2005",@IDESC("Month"),@IDESC("Scenario"),@IDESC("Measure_Type"),@IDESC("Measures"),@IDESC("Accounts"),@IDESC("RegionCompany"),@IDESC("Company"),@IDESC("RegionOrganization"),@IDESC("Organization"),@IDESC("Affiliate"),@IDESC("Product"),@IDESC("Ledger_Code"),@IDESC("Region"),@IDESC("Country")';
    3) Are their specific ways to tune an empty BSO cube transparently linked to ASO cube? BSO cube has no data.
    Thank you
    Namita

    Hi,
    1) You only need to set security on the BSO db (I'm assuming the users will not be connecting directly to the ASO db). When you setup your partition you define what user will be used to login to the ASO database. When ever an end-user retrieves data over the partition it's the partition user that logs into the ASO database to retrieve the data. You only need to make sure that the user defined in the partition has sufficient rights to retrieve that data.
    2) You can either use EAS to create the filter or MaxL...this is the example for create/replace filter: create filter sample.basic.filt1 read on 'Jan, sales', no_access on '@CHILDREN(Qtr2)';
    3) Try an avoid too many dynamic calcs in the target. These will obviously affect the retrieval times.

  • Portal export/import between 9.0.2 and 9.o.3

    I am aware that you can not export/import between portal installations on different versions e.g. 3.0.9 and 9.0.2 but is it possible to do export/import between 9.0.2 and 9.0.3?

    The FAQ only states:
    <<<<Snip>>>>
    Portal Export/Import utilities will only work between portal installations that are at the same revision level. For example, Portal Import/Export will copy content successfully between two 9.0.2.x instances of Portal, but not between a 9.0.2 portal instance and a 3.0.9 portal instance.
    That said, Portal Export/Import WILL work between two portal instances that are of different "minor" revision levels. For example, Portal Export/Import will work between a 9.0.2.2.14 portal instance to a 9.0.2.2.22 portal instance, and vice versa.

  • Impact of write-back on large data cubes(Both ASO and BSO)

    Hi All,
    We are in the phase of designing the Essbase Cubes(both ASO and BSO).
    Has anyone encountered issues performing a write-back on large Essbase data Cubes?
    With Regards,
    Madhan

    Hi,
    Do you mean data load from a flat file or sql or simply lock and send? An estimate size of your record set would also help.
    I get 30 million records into an ASO cube in about 5 minutes from SQL using load rules. This is in 11.1.2.1.
    Thanks,

  • Conditions Need to decided for ASO or BSO cube?

    Hi
    Could you please tell me on what conditions or business needs we need to decided whether we need to build an ASO or BSO cube?,
    which dimension needs to be Label only or Stored or Accounts or Multiple Hierarchy Enabled property?
    Which needs to be Dense & which needs to be Sparse if it is BSO cube?
    Could you please let me with an example with above question that would be helpfull.
    Thanks,
    Raj

    For dense data sets and Analytic databases ( databases with complex calculations ) and read/write databases we will go for BSO.
    In BSO we can load high and apply the pushdown calculations.
    For large dimensionality and sparse data sets and for read only database we will go for ASO.
    In ASO we can load at leaf level only.

  • Can i do client export import between systems with different patch levels

    we want to do a client export import between two systems. As I understand the patch levels should be the same in both for this to happen..
    But right now I am in a situation where time is a big constrant. The basis patch level is on par. But the rest are not. Can I do  client import successfully at this stage.

    The only thing that may stop it working could be additional functionality between the systems.
    I work on XI and there is a huge difference between SP12 and SP15.  We were able to do the transports between systems, but as Dev was patched before QA, and the transport was reliant on standard settings not being available, it still went though, but we had to transport it again after applying SP15 to QA.
    Again, it probably depends on what System you have running on Netweaver...

  • Maxl command that differentiates ASO and BSO?

    I want to differentiate between the ASO and BSO db in Essbase(9.3.1) using some MAXL command.
    Do we have some MAXL command that shows the property of Databases?
    I was hoping to use the command
    execute aggregate selection on database ASOSamp.Sample
    This command gives an error when run on a BSO.
    Ex:
    *[admin/localhost]execute aggregate selection on database Sample.Basic
    Execution Message:
    MaxL requires an aggregate storage application for this operation.*
    I was wondering if Maxl generates a return code for this. If it does, how can I capture this return code?

    To give a vague answer, you could run the command in your maxl script and use an iferror statement. It will not tell to the error number but that the command failed.

  • Export/Import between two separate SLD's

    Hello,
    We're facing the next issue. We want to move some single (custom created) Products with some single Software component versions (SWCVS) from 1 SLD (SLD1) to another SLD (SLD2) that are fysically separated. We do not want to create an export of the full CIM content of SLD1. Anybody experience with this creating exports of single products and single SWCVS. What should be the order importing these in the target SLD (SLD2).
    As we are running on SLD 7.00 we also created Software units. Still the aim of these units is not completely clear to me and documentation on this is quite poor. How should we deal with production state? At what moment in a development cycle should the state be changed??
    Is it possible to also export import these software unit definitions from SLD1 to SLD2?
    Thanks for your comments!!
    Regards,
    Emile

    HI,
    I am not sure, how it works with software unit definitions.
    This guide may help you-

  • How to export/import new SCV and products?

    Hi,
    I have created a new product, product version, software component and software component version in the SLD.
    Now I need to import that to another XI system with a different SLD. The product, product version etc. is unknown in the target XI system.
    How/What do I have to export all these new things?
    If I try to export/import the SCV, I get the following message during import:
    "<b>The target namespace for the special import already contains data for one or more export lines. Continuing this import may corrupt the state of your data.</b>
    Import CIM models and data to the current namespace: sld/active  (Database). 
    Ensure that this import will not cause an inconsistent state of your data.
    If you are uncertain about the consequences of this import, you should cancel it. "
    Do I need more export/import steps? That means: First the product, than the product version, than the SV and finally the SVC?
    Thanks and regards,
    Christian

    Hi Christian,
    if you want to move SLD content
    have a look at this doc:

  • How to export/Import default prefs and object styles with no project open?

    I would like to export my preferences and object styles with no projects open and them import them on my team's machines so that no matter what project we create, we all start from the SAME set of defaults.  When I open captivate and check both with no projects open, there is no ability to import/export.  I know I could open a project and export, but then importing is an issue.
    I'm using CP8 on a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine.
    Help?
    Thx.
    Lori

    After a fresh install I start by editing the Preferences globally, that means by using Edit, Preferences before opening any project (like switching to Expert UI, default language, replacing feedback captions by shapes). There is indeed no way to import preferences from a specific file. I will do the same for some object styles (like creating a blank Highlight box for audio objects). You can only export/import from and to a project,  same like for all Library assets.
    However the Object styles: they are part of the default theme, along with their theme colors, master slides and skin. You cannot edit everything without having a project open. I would recommend to create a custom theme in a project, in which you have all the wanted object styles. Changing the theme colors (you can have a custom theme color palette) will change partially colors of the objects. Once you set that theme as default theme, you'll have all the object styles in the projects that use the default theme.
    To transfer Preferences, custom themes to another machine, maybe this article could help you out. It was written for a different purpose, but you'll find the location of a lot of files that you could transfer in this post:

  • Datpump Export,Import across lower and higher versions

    Versions involved : 10.2.0.4, 11.2.0.3
    Operating System  : AIX 6.1
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Lets say I export a schema in a 11.2 Database using 11.2 expdp .
    Can I import the above dump (11.2) to a 10.2 Database using 10.2 impdp ?

    Setting VERSION=10.2 worked fine for me.
    Since I was curious, I tested taking a table level export dump from 11.2.0.3 Schema using 11.2.0.3 expdp without VERSION parameter. I succesfully managed to import those tables to a 10.2.0.2 schema needless to say using 10.2.0.2 impdp.
    I don't know how this worked . Maybe export,importing from higher to lower version at schema level might fail. Need to test it when I have time.
    This is contrary to Oracle documentation (11.2 DB Utilities guide)
    Data Pump Import cannot read dump file sets created by a database release that is
    newer than the current database release, unless those dump file sets were created
    with the VERSION parameter set to the release of the target database. Therefore,
    the best way to perform a downgrade is to perform your Data Pump export with
    the VERSION parameter set to the release of the target database
    But, anyway I am glad that Oracle's superior coding has enabled me to export,import from higher to lower version.

  • Drag and Drop between JTree and Labels in 2 different panes

    Hi,
    I am using JDK 1.4.1 and am trying to implement Drag n Drop between a JTree and JLabels with ImageIcons, both on different panes.
    I got the DnD working fine on the tree. but i cant get to drag and drop the label from the other pane, on the Jtree as a node. I am getting confused with the DataFlavors, and also wonder if there is something else that i have to do for DnD between 2 panes. Can someone give me any leads on this, please? The Panes I am talking about are splitpanes.
    thanks,
    Sri.

    hey thanks Dennis!! I was hoping you would respond to my question, as I have seen a lot of your replies. yes, the example you gave would be helpful. but i am trying to implement this in 1.4.1, with the new drag and drop in swing. and i am getting confused wiht theh data flavors etc.
    my problem at hand is :
    I have a tree on the left pane. i can drag and drop the nodes on the tree itself. (i already did that...no problem). I have Jlabels with imageicons (actually wrapper classes with labels and imageicons) on the right pane. i have to be able to drag these labels to the tree such that they form a node.
    I have one class the NodeSelection class which extends TransferHandler and implements Transferable. i was able to do DnD for the tree using this. I customized the importData method in this.I thought that i can just use the same class to create the transferhandler and transferable, and just use a different implementation for the importData method if the data being dragged is from the label.
    well, my thoughts and ideas were ok...but i can implement it...so they must be wrong ;-)
    Can u please suggest another way to do this. I have a deadline to meet and am stuck here :-( any suggestions or tips or hints would be very helpful and appreciated!!
    Thanks,
    Sri.
