BSO-block storage option support a wide range of calculations, including forecasts. allocations, and aggregations. BSO storage are limited to about 10 dimensions and member counts . BSO cubes typically contain fewer (and smaller) dimensions than aggregate storage (ASO) cubes.
ASO Application
ASO-Aggregate storage option-it can support about 20 dimensions
It use multidimensional functions rather than procedural scripts to perform calculations. Aggregate storage databases enable dramatic improvements in both i.e database aggregation time and dimensional scalability. The aggregate storage kernel is an alternative to the block storage kernel. it typically address read-only, rack and stack applications that have large dimensionality and Customer Analysis
What is dimension
A dimension represents the highest consolidation level in the database outline. The database outline presents dimensions and members in a tree structure to indicate a hierarchy relationship. Example
Standard dimension
Standard dimensions represent the core components of a business plan and often relate to departmental functions. Typical standard dimensions: : Time, Accounts, Product Line, Market, and Division. Dimensions change less frequently than members. Essbase allocate storage for standard dimension member
Dense dimension
A dimension which has the high probability that data exists for every combination of dimension members. Most multidimensional databases may also contain dense dimensions. It can used to store the high density data dense is a property of the values of an attribute. Example:-
Sparse dimension
A dimension which has low probability that data exists for every combination of dimension member. Data is normally stored in sparse form. Sparse is a property of the values of an attribute. Example:
Attribute
An attribute dimension is a special type of dimension that is associated with a standard dimension. Essbase does not allocate storage for attribute dimension member. it dynamically calculates the members when the user requests data associated with them. Example:- Through attribute dimensions, you group and analyze members of standard dimensions based on the member attributes (characteristics).
Account dimension
It specifies the data to be collected from budget planners. such as profit and inventory. Example:-
Time type dimension: Defines the time periods for which you report and update data. .The time dimension enables several accounts dimension functions. such as first and last time balances. Example:-
