Hi All,

 

at the moment it is not possible to copy blob Cubes in dataflows. It would be great when a simple copy of BLOB Cubes in DataFlow would be possible. It also would be great if the target BLOB Cube could have some more or leass dimensions than the source BLOB Cube.

 

Regards,

FabFro

    Hi Monisha,

    several possible use cases are e.g.:

    • Having a Blob cube (a) with 5 dimensions. One dimension is the product. The user uploads e.g. a manual (or another document) on product a. The manual is also valid for 20 other products. The easiest way to copy it to those products would be a procedure with two dataflows:
      • Dataflow from the Blob cube (a) into a TMP Blob cube (b) without the product dimension
      • Interactive selection of the desired target products
      • Datflow back to the Blob cube (a)
    • Or having a Blob cube (a) with 4 dimensions. The user uploads e.g. a manual (or another document) and wants to spread it over a 5th dimension e.g. customer. The easiest way to spread it to those customers would be a procedure with one dataflow:
      • Dataflow from the Blob cube (a) into a Blob cube (b) with the additional customer dimension.

    Kind regards
