DATAIMPORTBIN

The DATAIMPORTBIN calculation command for Essbase imports previously exported binary files. You can use DATAEXPORT "Binfile" and DATAIMPORTBIN together as a method for data backup and recovery.

Syntax

DATAIMPORTBIN fileName;

Parameters

fileName

Full path name for the binary input file to be imported.

Notes

  • The outline timestamp is included with the export file created by DATAEXPORT. By default, the DATAIMPORTBIN process checks the timestamp. Use the SET DATAIMPORTIGNORETIMESTAMP calculation command with DATAIMPORT to bypass checking the timestamp. See SET DATAIMPORTIGNORETIMESTAMP for details.

  • Use DATAIMPORTBIN only with files created by DATAEXPORT "Binfile".

    DATAIMPORTBIN is not supported across different Essbase releases.

Example

DATAIMPORTBIN e:\january\sales.bin;

Specifies the binary file e:\january\sales.bin is to be imported to the database for which the calculation script is being run.
