Parallel build and subsequent re-name of a cube

Tim
Hi Folks,

I'm not certain if this is the correct group to post this question in,
if there is a more appropriate one please advise.

We have a cube that takes a little time to build, length of time
varies by point in day and source SQL Server loading. While building
the cube is 'off-line' and this is bothering the powers that be. As
the underlying SQL Server data warehouse grows the time 'off-line' is
bound to lengthen.
..
This cube is currently being built twice a day but a more frequent
schedule of builds is envisaged.

I have been tasked to investigate options, (if any of you wise folks
have printable suggestions please post).

One option that has perculated it's way to the top of the corporate
consciousness is to build a duplicate cube in parallel to the original
so that the original can stay on-line during the build. Then once the
duplicate is fully built, drop the original and re-name the duplicate
to take the originals place?

RTFM on this suggestion doesn't get me very far and I am beginning to
think that re-naming a cube is functionality that is not available?

To make life even more fun I'm not a 'Cube' person, I'm just the data
bod who as been given the task while the cube person's on leave.

Any help, steers, wisedom, etc.. gratefully accepted

TIA Tim

Greetings, We need to initial load hundreds of tables from within programs. We try to run several programs that call the DB2LOAD in parallel (to load different tables of course) in order to speed up the process. However, the program that completes the DB2LOAD first appears to cancel the subsequent DB2LOAD by other programs. No obvious error found in db2diag.log.

Basically, I'm thinking about building a robot which can be controlled by programs which I write, I'm going to interface to the robot through the parallel port (like in this tutorial here: linuxfocus.org/English/May2001/article205.shtml). However, I know that this will probably need to be done in low level C. Now, although I can code in C, I don't particularly want to :-) , instead I'd like to use Python. I'm wondering, is there any way I...

I am trying to make a program that will basically simulate a chess clock in python. To do this I have two threads running, one that updates the currently running clock, and one that watches for a keypress. I am using the effbot Console module, and that is where I get the events for the keypresses. But when I press space it crashes shortly after. The program stops, the Console closes, and windows says that the program pythonw.exe has had an...

Hi, there are some concurrency frameworks available for .net from microsoft, which takes advantage of the cpu. But recently GPUs have broken the 1 tera flop barrier and are really ideal for parallel computing. For example Nvidia's CUDA allows us to program the GPU. My question: is there any effort going inside microsoft that would give us (the devs) some framework, which wraps up the functionality of CUDA (or similar technology from...
