SET DATAIMPORTIGNORETIMESTAMP
When importing binary data exported from an Essbase database, Essbase typically compares the outline timestamp with that of the import file. The SET DATAIMPORTIGNORETIMESTAMP calculation command lets you bypass the timestamp comparison.
Syntax
This calculation command specifies whether to ignore, when importing binary data exported from an Essbase database, the outline timestamp that was captured at the time data was exported.
Caution:
Bypassing the check enables potentially importing the wrong file.
SET DATAIMPORTIGNORETIMESTAMP ON|OFF;Notes
The DATAEXPORT "Binfile" command captures the outline timestamp when it creates a binary export file. By default, when the file is imported, Essbase checks the import file timestamp against the existing outine timestamp to ensure the correct import file is read. You can use SET DATAIMPORTIGNORETIMESTAMP to bypass checking the timestamp.
Caution:
Bypassing the check enables potentially importing the wrong file.
Example
SET DATAIMPORTIGNORETIMESTAMP ON;
DATAIMPORTBIN e:january\basic.binSpecifies to ignore comparing the outline timestamp with the timestamp on the import file, and to import the binary export file to the database on which the calculation script is running.
