Precautions b4 compressing plannng cube?

Posted on Nov 24, 2004 at 09:04 PM 9 Views

Hi

we've a transactional cube that has around 25 requests with 20 month old data & each request averages around 20000 records. Interestingly, the cube was never compressed.

At this point, I feel, compressing the cube might improve performance.

I'd like to know any precautions that I need to know before hand.

I see one problem is, we'll be out of options to delete compressed requests on individual basis. Any other issues?

what is the best bet to back up this cube & its data incase to retrieve it back to original cube status?

Is there any check list to make sure nothing went wrong after compression for comparing pre-compresstion step & post-compression steps?

Appreciate your ideas / suggestions.

    Hi,

    you can find all the info you need in the OSS Note 407260

    'FAQs: Compression of InfoCubes' (if you have a DB Oracle)... and in http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw30b/helpdata/en/ca/aa6437e7a4080ee10000009b38f842/content.htm

    What's the meaning of compression on an individual basis ?!

    In order to come back I think it's not possible.(excluding a back-up restore option..)

    Let me know if this is not enough...

    Hope it helps.

    Bye,

    Roberto

    I would compress transactional planning cubes regularly if you don't switch and load data into the cube. Why? There is no need or sense to delete a transactional request from such a cube because you don't know what data is in the request and how it affects records in latter requests.

    Best regards

    Dirk
