DXC Limitations and Alternates

[Former Member]

Hi,

I understand that there are some limitations in using DXC currently - like lack of support to extractors with non-cumulative KFs and generic extractors.

What is the alternate to a client who does not wish to continue having a separate BW landscape but leverage the extractors (standard and generic) nevertheless ? I understand using BODS is an alternate, but, that too has its own limitations in terms of extractor support. Pl advise.

From my reading on DXC i understand that non-cumulative KFs need a cube to function and DXC creates an IMDSO - can this not be solved by creating a Calc View on top of the IMDSO with aggregation functions defined on all dimensions. Or is there any other limitation because of which DXC does not support extractors with non-cumulative KFs ?

Thanks

Are you specifically looking to use DXC for non-cummulative data? Please expand on your requirement so that I can guide you better.

Hope this helps.

Hi Rama,

My query is - for a client who does not wish to have a BW system but still leverage the standard extractor, what is the best way out.

DXC does not support data sources with non-cumulative functionality.

BODS supports limited data sources.

Hope it helps. Thanks.
