Logical Partioning

Hello Experts,
Can someone let me know the procedure of logical partioning a cube. I am actually designing a cube for each year and i would want to know the whole process ( the configuration in BW including ).
All answers would be duly rewarded.
Thanks,
Nandita

Hi Nandita,
Well, u really need not to have separate the cube for the Yearly basis. U have store data for several years in the same Cube. Well Logical partitioning is dividing the data on the TimeScale, The Permitted time Scale is either CALMONTH or FISCPER (fiscal period) (Only one is possible, not both), Here there will be individual tables at the database for timescale.
U can follow the path Cube-Extra-partitioning- select your timescale- and the range.
Here no of table created will ne range+2, two for Before and after range.
This Database partitioning is based on underlying database, Not all database Support this, MS SQL do not support database partitioning whereas Oracle Supports.
While creating this database partitioning cube should not contain any data.
This all is information pertaing the database partitioning.
Assign the points if it helps You.

  • Logical Partioning doubts

    Hi gurus,
    Logical partioning is used to create additional cubes to load yearly data.
    My small questions are
    1) In the process chain after one year infopackage will be same with delta update type and cube name will change is it right ?
    2) This will be done on first day of new year I mean first delta will be loaded of the new year like 2008 with the same process chain but different into cube name .
    3) Old cube name wll be there till it loads last delta of year last day ?
    4) If report is only for single year all data and I have 4 cubes with quarterly data for that single year under a multiprovider .will the performance come down ?
    Thankyou gurus.

    Hi George:
    1) That is possible. see also under 2
    2) You can also create a filter in the update rules. Add you new cube to the info package and filter the records in the update rules (start routine, delete from info package where date = etc.) In this case you can implement the new cube some weeks before the new year and remove the old cube after a few weeks (at the moment you are sure no records of the previous year are changed)
    3) then you can also remove the old cube from the info package and remove the update rules.
    4) We implemented queries about single year data on the cubes directly (easy to copy as the cube are equal and then renaming the query with yaer in the name) and queries over more than one year on the mutli cube. (actually we made two mutlicubes (1 with current and last year and 1 with all the years)

  • Semantic and Logical partions

    Hi All,
    Please can someone help me to understand what are the advantages of Semantic partinitioning of BW 7.3  over Logical partioning of BI 7.0
    thanks

    That is a good question. A semantically partitioned cube is not the same as a multiprovider, and the table RRKMULTIPROVHINT is specifically designer for MultiProviders so my initial thoughts are that it is not required to maintain this.
    However, there are many similarities between a MP and a partitioned cube, and you want to make sure that at runtime only the relevant partitions are accessed.
    I would expect that SAP automatically provide DB Hints based on the definition of the partitioning. The reason why this does not happen with MultiProviders is that it is hard to automatically 'predict' which characteristics are used for partitioning. In the semantic partitioned cube, this is defined in the system so SAP should take this into account at execution time.

  • Logical partitioning of an ODS - when / what size e.g. 100 Mio records?

    Hi Folks,
    we got an ODS/DSO with about 80 fields and we are currently planning futher rollouts which will lead to an overall volume in the DSO about 100 Mio records.
    I wonder if this volume for a DSO is still fine to do reporting and loading / activation with good performance?
    Or is there a "rule of thumb" to have let's say only 50 Mio reocrds in a ODS and then go for a logical partion approach in larger scenario
    50 Mio -> Region EMEA, APJ
    50 Mio -> Region AMS
    Thanks for you inputs in advance,
    Axel

    100 Mo records is not such a big DSO. You should not encounter problems for loading and/or activating your DSO.
    You may encounter performance problems with reporting  functionnalities but it will depend on the reporting you do. And anyway, if you really want to do reporting on this data, why don't you put this level of detail in the cube (logically partitionned or not).
    You can logically partitionned any kind of infoProvider, but I've never seen this for DSO (I'd rather partition the upper levels and have a DSO with all data).

  • Merge physical and logical partitions

    How do I extend my physical arch partition with an unallocated space logical partition?
    I want to add an unallocated space logical partition to a physical partition
    or better said I want to grow my existing arch physical partition with the unallocated space logical partition.
    Last edited by karlzt (2010-03-20 15:50:31)

    It is not that easy. You can resize and/or move either physical partitions or locical partitions inside the space of the (physical) "extended partition". But you cannot simply take space from a logical partion and assign it to a physical partition adjacent to the extended partition it is part of. Which means you can extend a physical partion only from free space which you can produce by a prior shrinking/moving another adjacent physical partition.
    The problem is, I currently know of no way to shrink an extended partition without losing some of the enclosed logical partition data (or even all logical partions at once). One could try, as a proper backup is advisable in any case before messing around with partitions.

  • Partioning

    hai
    can u tell about logical and physical partioning?when u go for that

    Hi,
    Logical Partioning is when you create several cubes with the exact same structure and you load data in them with different values for one or a combination of several characteristic values. For instance imagine you have a scenario ending with a total number of records of 1'200 mio records over 10 years of operation which would be a quite huge number of records for one single InfoProvider (not easy to handle and performance probelms); you decide then to partition logically this cube with 0CALYEAR resulting in one cube per year; each cube will then have 120 mio records. You will then query this data via a multiprovider having all these cubes.
    Physical partitioning (ORACLE): the fact table of an infocube are themselves organized and splitted into partitions; this is only possible with 0FISCPER and 0CALMONTH; when querying such a fact table on one month, your RDBMS will take advantage of this partitioning by selecting less data. Partition pruning will also be an advantage if you are using Oracle. I recommend to systematically use the physical partitioning whenever it is possible.
    hope this helps...

  • Virtual cube with services read from Multicube?

    Hello All.
    We have logically partitioned the Balance Sheet cube 0FIGL_C01 into 3 new cubes. Now I found that I also had to partition the Virtual cube 0FIGL_VC1 into 3 new virtual cubes( I have copied the standard function module to change the data origin).
    Then I have included 4 virtual cubes in one single multicube.
    When I run a query on the multicube, I get a short Dump.
    My questions are:
    1.- has anyone done the same logical partioning for balance sheet before?
    2.- Is it possible to use a multicube as source of data for a Virtual cube with services, using the balance sheet virtual cube function module?
    Thank you all for your help.
    Regards,
    Alfonso.

    a basic cube can only be a source of data for virtual cube or for  a multicube.
    all cubes should have atleast one char common when u add them in a multicube.

  • Dual booting win 7 and arch: cannot install grub to partition

    I have read the arch wiki page on dual booting and several other sources on line, but I am still struggling to get this to work.
    I am trying to dual boot arch and windows 7 on my lenovo ideapad s205. the machine comes with windows 7 pre-installed.
    I shrank the win 7 partition and added an extended partition with 3 logical partions for /boot, swap, and /.
    I am able to install and run arch by installing grub to the mbr. when I do this, though, I cannot boot windows. (the windows section of grub menu.lst is uncommented and points toward hda0,0. I have tried hda 0,1 as well).
    I have also tried to use the windows boot loader to load arch, as described in the arch wiki page on dual booting. The problem here is that, taking this approach, I should install grub to my /boot partition, but when I try to do this, the installer only allows me to install grub to sda or sdb (the usb stick).
    I have read that grub should be able to boot linux from a logical partition. Is this so?
    Is there something wrong with the arch installer that it is not giving me the option of installing to a partition rather than the mbr, or is this  a problem with my partition scheme, or something else?
    I am tempted to remove lenovo's recovery system, but on the other hand, I have already needed to use it several times while monkeying around with installing arch.
    Thanks for any help.
    UPDATE:
    I now have the laptop dual-booting win 7 and arch. My solution ( adapted from here: http://helms-deep.cable.nu/~rwh/blog/?p=177) was to:
    1. installed arch on the partitions I had created for it, but skipped the "install bootloader" stage.
    2. in win 7, I downloaded and installed EasyBCD and made an entry for arch in it. I checked the option to "Use EasyBCD's copy of GRUB"
    3. When I restarted, I got a grub error because the entry in grub's menu.lst was pointing at the wrong partitions for the kernel and root.
    4. So I went back into the arch live disk, mounted the boot partition and edited menu.lst.
    Now when I start the laptop, the windows boot loader starts and I can choose between win  7 and arch. when I select arch, grub4dos starts and gives me the option to start arch. this is not particularly elegant (nor is it fast), so I think this solution is less than ideal, but it does work.
    I'd be interestd in any thoughts about what went wrong and what a better solution would be.
    thanks.

    Is this a typo in your post or how it was in menu.lst? Surely it should be hd0,0 and not hda0,0? The entry I have in my menu.lst is as follows:
    # (2) Windows
    title Windows
    rootnoverify (hd0,0)
    makeactive
    chainloader +1
    What was yours?

  • PI 7.1 Installation on MSCS Cluster

    Hi Sapers,
                         I'm In the middle of Installation of PI 7.1 on MSCS Cluster
                         My Problem is while Installing In Node A I have chosen for Host Agent and SAPOSCOL a Shared Drive(G:) which
                         Should actually be a Local Drive(C , But In Node B I have Chosen Local Drive (C
                         Now My question
                         1) Can I change the path In the Registry, If yes can anyone tell me the procedure and
                          2) What would be the implications or Consequences?
                          3) Will My Installation Go Successfully
    Thanks In Advance

    Installation of SAPOSCOL on a different logical partion within the same local host is fine, obviously not on a different host as the SAPOSCOL is the operating system collector for the host on which it is installed.

        In other words what are the disadvantages in 3.X that were eliminated in 7.0?
    2. what are physical partitioning and logical partioning? What are their use?
    3. What advantage that DTP has over an InfoPackage ?

  • Partitioning of cube

    Gurus,
    I am extracting AR data using standard datasources in BW3.5 and would like to partition the data by creating year specific cubes. I have to store data for around 15 years so I was thinking of having cubes with data for 3 years each and report using a multiprovider. But wanted to clarify a few things -
    The data that will be coming for deltas, should that be going to the current cube or should my update rules be connected to all the cubes? What happends in case an older invoice is cleared, say from 1998 is cleared should the data be updated in 1998 cube as well as current or only in the current cube?
    The company has 16 posting periods. If I am doing logical partioning based on 0FISCPER so should that partioning be from say 001/1998-016/2001 or will it be 001/1998-012/2001.
    The company is not having fiscal variant based on calendar year, but is from April to March. Could this be a problem for me to partition the cube.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Venkat

    --> Chances of getting such old records are rare or almost ZERO.
    --> Those records supposed to load into that particular cube only. Not to current cube(2009).
    The company has 16 posting periods. If I am doing logical partioning based on 0FISCPER so should that partioning be from say 001/1998-016/2001 or will it be 001/1998-012/2001.

    --> Fiscal variant required to report against fiscal poriod. To restrict at cube level.
    Loading into a multiple cubes only useful, if query contains selection and filter restriction on infocubes. Or again accessing all cubes through multiprovider(multiple joins) creates Negative performance than a single cube.

  • Dual booting and sharing partition

    Hi,
    I am planning on installing Xubuntu and Arch on my laptop during the christmas break and have been reading around about how to best do this.  I want to share the /home directory between these two installs to minimize duplicating files.  I would like to know if there are any other folders that can be shared between two systems like Xubuntu and Arch.
    Secondly, I would like to know if both Xubuntu and Arch can be installed on logical partitions within the same extended partitions.

    This in only my opinion (there are many, many ways partitioning a dual-boot system), but I would personally not share /home (or any other system partition for that matter). Too much hassle (persmissions on your .dotfiles will be tricky), and not enough space savings to be worth the trouble.
    Instead I would create a ‘extra’ partition and use that instead of /home for storing personal files/multimedia file in both OS’s. I would give it a label like ‘Multimedia’ or ‘Shared’ or ‘Data’ or whatever, and make this partition large enough to hold all my stuff.
    Then just mount this shared partition to wherever you like in both OS’s, via /etc/fstab
    Secondly)
    Yes logical partitions are fine for installing (somebody correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that Linux does not care about being installed a on Primary or Logical partition). Just make sure you setup your bootloader properly.
    Also the *biggest* advantage of using Logical partions is that you won’t really have a limit for the number of partitions you can create for each OS.

  • ODS Partitioning ?

    Hi -
    I am looking for guidelines regarding ODS/DSO Partitioning.
    We are dealing with the LO extractor which brings billing conditions into BW/BI  (We are running BI 7).  We expect very large volumes of data from this extractor. 
    We plan to implement a design the follows EDW standards.  First level write-optimized DSO, second level standard ODS, and finally into a cube.  Most of our transformation will occur between the first and second level DSO - including any filtering.
    As we are working out the details of our design, we are trying to determine if we should utilize logical partioning for the first and second level DSO Objects. 
    Are there any guidelines around maximum ODS Size?  Does anyone have reccomendations regarding ODS Partitioning?
    I have searched the forum and found plenty of information on logical partitioning of Cubes but have found nothing regarding ODS objects.
    Points will be awarded....  Thanks for your help.

    Wond -
    Thanks, your answer is helpful.  I guess in terms of loading from the ODS - I will be loading a delta to the cube so the actual load will come from the change log - it will not be by selection.  The change log wont be large so, except for the initial load - it should manageable.
    Regarding activiation.  When activation occurs, determining if an existing record exists would be done via the semantic key... correct?  There would be an index on the key of the ODS - so the search would not be a sequential read through the entire table - it would be and index search.  So, would activation really suffer as you suggested?
    Lets say I decide to partition it - what number of records or size per ODS would I want to achieve...  again, I would look for a guideline from SAP or others from experience to say...  If you are going to go throug the work to partition your ODS you want to keep them under X records or X Size. 
    Any ideas?
    Some points awarded.... some points remain!!  Thanks.
