How does Essbase Analtyical Link/snapshots works

Hi ,
I am new to HFM and Essbase Analytical Link. Though I know certain basics of both i would like to understand the below. Also, all documents related are like admin quides and user guides.
1) What are EAL snapshots ? Im able to see .data files created in the Work/Store folder. How are these created and what do they contain?
2) When users are trying to view data from Smartview using data created by Essbase Analytical link, are they viewing the Data from the .data files created?
3) How does EAL bridge work? i.e. what data does it take from HFM?
If anyone can explain the above in a way a newbie can understand, it will be great.
Thanks,

In Addition to the above comments;
1) What are EAL snapshots ? Im able to see .data files created in the Work/Store folder. How are these created and what do they contain?
      DSS - Data Synchronization Server will refreshes these .data files that are stored in the /Work/Store Folder.
       You may get doubt on how the data refresh happens from HFM Relational Tables into the Files that are stored on the Windows Servers. As far as I know, LiveLink Processes connects to the HFM Schema and extracts data into Text File format.  It will definitely give chances to ask one more question like
                Where is the Configuration Parameter setting which LiveLink Process connects to HFM Relational database?
               I am not sure about that,some one who has wider experience on the EAL & DSS can update this question.
2) When users are trying to view data from Smartview using data created by Essbase Analytical link, are they viewing the Data from the .data files created?
      If you have created any bridges, there are 3 Options to choose the types of Partitions -> Transparent, Replicated & Not Connected Outline.
      My experience is with the Transparent Partition only; Any Smartview and Financial Reports users will connect to the Essbase Application and retrieves the data from .data Files through the Transparent partition set on the Bridges. Here the Source is DSS Server and the Target is the Essbase server where the Outline resides.
3) How does EAL bridge work? i.e. what data does it take from HFM?
     Now that you have might have understood that different parameters required to setup the bridges.  With out EAL Bridges, you can't create the Essbase Database(outline) and can't synchronize the mappings and Data Refresh intervals can be set on the EAL Bridge. This will update the HFM relational data into .data files.
To All; Feel free to correct me if my above understanding is wrong, please.

    I mean if i set the acquisition samples quantity is 5000,(see the enclosed picture), how does the DAQmx read.vi acquire the samples ?
    5000 samples one time ?
    And how does the write. vi work ? Also 5000 samples one time ?

    It will read 5000 samples per channel.
    The Write Measurement File just writes whatever you give it.  It you send it 5000 data points, it will write the 5000 data points.

  • How does the Mac App Store work?!

    Hey guys i recently posted this quesiton in a different area of the community but instead of being helped was just ridiculed for posting in the wrong place... +1 for helpfulness guys :/ lol Anyways... ive been told to ask in the development section.. I have a $9.99 app and it was sitting at 10th place in the top grossing apps a few weeks ago on the UK app store, now I noticed in the morning that it was ahead of an app which was 49.99 so i presumed that I must have sold at least 5 or 6 to be ahead of him (my idea of top grossing is quantity x price) but when itunesconnect released their reports in the afternoon it turned out that i'd only sold 1 copy.. so what im asking is basically how does the top grossing section work? and how regularly does it update? is it live? daily? etc
    Thanks in advance!

    Your rank is better than the other app because you've made a sale while they've made none. When you make a sale, you jump in the charts, and after that you slowly go down if you don't make another sale. In other words, the bottom of the charts has many apps that didn't make any sale recently. I've also noticed that if you make some sales in other countries than the current chart, that'll very slightly improve your rank.

  • How does the LCM rollback feature work in theory?

    Hi
    How does the LCM rollback feature work in theory?
    Let's say
    1. I've Webi report 'x' in QA system
    2. I promote a modified version of webi report 'x' from DEV to QA using LCM. So now I've 'x1' in QA.
    3. I "rollback" this promotion job in LCM. Which means I've get back 'x' in QA system.
    So does this mean that LCM kept a "backup" copy of 'x' in QA (CMS+filestore file backup) before overwriting with the promoted 'x1' from DEV?
    If yes, does it clear the 'x' anytime from QA? (maybe after second iteration of 'x2'?)
    Thanks

  • How does EXIT modules in DMEE work?

    Dear friends, how does EXIT modules in DMEE work?
    If I want to use this module DMEE_EXIT_DK_OCR_ACCOUNTNO to extract the account number of an OCR line, what should I do?
    And especially what do I put in the import parameters?
    /René

    The module called DMEE_EXIT_DK_OCR_ACCOUNTNO is a dummy module or template module if you like.
    The problem is that the module DMEE_EXIT_DK_OCR_ACCOUNTNO has a condition that never where fulfilled!
    I copied the module to Z_DMEE_EXIT_DK_OCR_ACCOUNTNO and changed the conditions u2013 and then everything was working with import and export parameters!
    Either is DMEE_EXIT_DK_OCR_ACCOUNTNO a serious mistake in standard SAP or just an undocumented template to be modified!

    Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
    If it was never registered to your account then it won't appear on your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    The only other ways to find it that I know of (apart from on the actual device) are via the packaging, the backup on a computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061

  • How does new Label Management feature works in Aruba Central?

    Q: How does new Label Management feature works in Aruba Central?
    A: Central provides a standard web-based interface that allows you to configure and monitor multiple Aruba Wi-Fi networks.  
    With as many as devices that central could manage, searching a specific device or set of devices becomes difficult. This is where "Label management" feature of Aruba Central helps out.
    With "Label Management", administrator can create various labels in advance and use them to assign it to different IAPs or Switches as required.  Once the labels are assigned, user can use the label string to search a device or group of devices in central.
    Follow these steps create various set of labels in "Label Management":
    Login to Aruba Central and click on "All Groups"
    In the left-menu, under "Maintenance" select "Label Management"
    Click on "Create Label" button and create as many labels you require as per the environment and ease of use.

    for rating . you need to enable rating from List options and choose if it's going to be 5 star or like

  • GRC - Role Expert v5.2: how does the Transaction Usage functionality work

    Hi All,
    re: GRC - Role Expert v5.2: how does the Transaction Usage functionality work
    We are implementing GRC suite v5.2, but specifically my question is regarding Role Expert:
    SAP documentation states that it is possible to use Role Expert to do the following: for roles allows you to see if, or how much, a transaction is being used, when it was last used, and who used it.
    My question is how without Audit Log or RBE?
    Let me know if you have ever used this functionality and if it requires the SAP Back-End Audit Log to be turned on or RBE.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Gary,
    You dont need a RBE tool activation to get the successful transaction usage log with Role Expert.
    Role Expert functionality allows you to log all the transactions that have been added/deleted to the role that is changed. Also when you create a new role via the Role Expert then automatically the transaction log starts.
    If you go the "History" tab in the Role Expert, then you can find all the last changes made to the role.
    Also you can go to the "Risk Analysis" tab to find the log of Risk Analysis performed with the added tcodes.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Kiran Kandepalli.

  • How does Essbase deals with multi-users

    How does Essbase deals with multi-users connecting for reading and writing in the same time? How the global coherence of the database is controlled when users are updating dimension and data all together?

    For reading, Essbase handles multiple requests concurrently. For metadata (outline) only one user at a time can make and save changes.For data, Essbase uses a block level locking mechanism, which implies that an update to a block can only be done by a single update request, but other blocks in the database are still updateable by other users.Hope that helps.Regards,Jade---------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

  • How does SMB 3 Multipath actualy work?

    First of all, sorry if there is a better form to post this in, I didn't see a general networking or SMB forum.
    I've been trying to find anything about how SMB 3 Multipath actually works at a networking level (OSI Layer 2, Layer 3). I can't find anything that actually talks about how it achieves multipathing once it's out of its exit interface. Even how it actually chooses
    potential exit interfaces is still a mystery to me.
    How does the MAC address forwarding work? Does it somehow dynamically learn the available MACs on the destination and split the load between them? If that's the case does it work over layer 3 subnets if there are two available routes? How does it learn about
    multiple available paths and actually get the network equipment to use them? In other words if Server A and B have 4 NICs they have 4 MAC addresses or more, one or more IP addresses, teamed or not teamed. Layer 2 adjacency vs Layer 3. There are a lot of variables
    that it has to work with. Is DNS involved at all? If my connection attempt is the server.domain.local DNS might have more than one IP address that server is reachable from but if I connect to 192.168.1.1 then I'm specifying an IP and DNS doesn't come into
    play, does that affect SMB 3 Multipath?
    I know SMB 3 works when in a team and not in a team, I've tried it. But if it is in an LACP team then once it leaves the server NIC it's up to the switch to forward that to the destination based on the hash, for a single flow in normal situations the switch
    would pick the same interface but I get increased bandwidth so I know the switch is sending to both interfaces, so I assume there are multiple flows. That means something about the flows has to be different, I assume the destination MACs, but I haven't put
    a packet capture to look...yet...
    Does anyone know of any papers or details that talk about these issues they can point me to? Every blog post or video I've seen is super generic about how it actually works. It's not magic.

    Hi,
    With Multichannel, SMB will create multiple TCP/IP connections for that single session (at least one per interface or more if they are RSS-capable). This allows SMB to use
    the combined NIC bandwidth available and makes it possible for the SMB client to continue to work uninterrupted if a NIC fails.
    Although a team always provides fault tolerance, SMB without Multichannel will create only one TCP/IP connection per team, leading to limitations in both the number of CPU
    cores engaged and the use of the full team bandwidth.
