What is the best way to extract large volume of data from a BW InfoCube?

Hello experts,
Wondering if someone can suggest the best method that is availabe in SAP BI 7.0 to extract a large amount of data (approx 70 million records) from an InfoCube. I've tried OpenHub and APD but not working. I always need to separate the extracts into small datasets. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
We had the same issue but that was loading from an ODS to cube. We have over 50 million records. I think there is no such option like parallel loading using DTPs. As suggested earlier in the forum, the only best option is to split according to the calender year of fis yr.
But remember even with the above criteria sometimes for some cal yr you might have lot of data, even that becomes a problem.
What i can suggest you is apart from Just the cal yr/fisc, also include some other selection criteria like comp code or sales org.
yes you will end up load more requests, but the data loads would go smooth with lesser volumes.
Regards
BN

What is the best way to send large, HD video files from the iPad?

Hello,
My department is looking to purchase between 50 and 150 new iPads. We hold conferences where participants take short, 3-minute videos of themselves in situations they have been trained for. The idea was that after they have taken the video, they could simply email these videos to themselves, negating the need to hook the device up to a computer, transfer the video over to a flash drive, and ensure that drive gets back to the right person.
Now that I have the first one, I'm finding any video longer than 45s or so can't be sent via email because it's too large.
Are you kidding?
The file I was just able to send was 7.5MB. That's the biggest video I can send from this thing? Why even give us the ability to take HD video if we can't *do* anything with it?
But, I digress.
What I'm looking for is the best way to get video off the iPads and into the hands of our participants. Are there apps on the App Store which might convert whatever video we take to an emailable size? I thought about setting everyone up with Apple IDs and having them use iMessage since there is no limit on file size, but of course you must own an Apple device in order to do that, and it still doesn't solve getting it on their computers.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You could try uploading them to a joint dropbox account that they could then download them from....but how fast it is will depend on the internet connection available.

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

What is the Best way to extract a subset of data from a Production database

Hi,
One of our cleint want to to extract a subset of data from a Production databases in order to build a dev or test database. Since it is a banking sector they do not want to clone the db.
Can anybdoy suggests any tool or any info
Regards
Manoj

DataBee is one option. Depending on circumstances, you may also want their DataMasker utility in addition...
Of course, depending on your particular system and your particular requirements, this sort of thing can rather quickly get quite complicated since you may need very particular types of subsets of data...

What is the Best way to move large mailboxes between datacenters?

What is the Best way to move large mailboxes between datacenters?

Hi,
Are you asking with regards to on-premises Exchange? With Microsoft Online SaaS services (aka Exchange Online) there is no control and no need to control which data center a mailbox resides in.
With regard to on-premises Exchange, you have two choices: you can move it over the WAN in which case you would either do a native mailbox move (assuming you have Exchange 2010 or later you can suspend the move after the copy so you can control the
time of the cutover) or create a database copy in the second data center and once the database copies have synchronized change the active copy.
The other choice is to move is out of band which would usually involve an offline seed of the database (you could conceivably move via PST file but that would disrupt access to the mailbox and is not really the 'best way').
In general, Exchange on-premises questions are best asked on the Exchange forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?category=exchangeserver
Thanks,
Guy

What is the best way to migrate your Adobe software to another computer?

What is the best way to migrate your Adobe software to another computer?

If you know that you do not intend to use the software on the old machine (especially if you are getting rid of it), the minimum you need to do is deactivate it. That will disable use of it and free up an extra activation for you should you ever wish to have two machines available to use it on. To deactivate you just open an application and choose Help -> Deactivate. If this happens to be a Creative Suite, doing that to just one of the applications will deactivate the entire Suite.
You can also uninstall the software if you like, but be sure to deactivate it first.

What is the best way to migrate PSE6 Catalog (Wxp) to new computer W7, PSE11?

What is the best way to migrate PSE6 Catalog (Wxp) to new computer W7, PSE11? Previous PSE6 recovery (Wxp) after a failed HD resulted in pictures showing but not opening due to connection issues. Had to restore pictures from backup and rebuild the catalog and albums. Found a third party fix afterwards that has no support past PSE8. Trying to make this migration to PSE11 painless.

That's a very common and classical situation :
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
Just make sure that your backup to the external drive is ok : you should find a 'backup.tly' file in the folder.
Use the PSE11 organizer to restore from the PSE7 backup : the first step restores all your media files, the second automatically does a catalog conversion to the PSE11 format.
Read the note in the above link about restoring from XP to ulterior Win OS. You can also restore to a 'custom' location. For instance in a 'C:\My new library' folder. Make sure that master folder is accessible to all users, and if you want, you can move the catalog (database) itself from that location to the default location : catalog manager, option to move catalogs to location accessible to all users.

What is the best way to migrate zoning from an MDS9216i to a Nexus 5596?

I am migrating from a MDS9216i to a Nexus 5596. We have dual paths, so I can migrate one leg at a time and the full function for these switches is fiber channel attached storage.
What is the best way to migrate the zoning information? I have been told I can ISL the new and old switch together and then push the zoning to the new switch. Is that better than just cutting and pasting the zoning information to the new switch?
Also, I have to move four Brocade M4424 switches to the new switches - they are currently attached via interop mode 1, but will now be attached using NPIV. Has anyone done this before, and did you have any issues?
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
