About Copying Analytic Workspaces

You can copy analytic workspaces to replicate them on another computer or to back them up.

• Data Pump: Analytic workspaces are copied with the other objects in a schema or database export. Use the expdp/impdp database utilities.

  
  

  Tip: Verify that the target schema of an import has the OLAP_XS_ADMIN privilege. Otherwise, the analytic workspace will not be created with the necessary permissions.

  
  

• Transportable Tablespaces: Analytic workspaces are copied with the other objects to a transportable tablespace. However, you can only transport the tablespace to the same platform (for example, from Linux to Linux, Solaris to Solaris, or Windows to Windows) because the OLAP DECIMAL data type is hardware dependent. Use the expdp/impdp database utilities. Transportable tablespaces are much faster than dump files.

The owner of an analytic workspace can export the schema to a dump file. Only users with the EXP_FULL_DATABASE privilege or a privileged user (such as SYS or a user with the DBA role) can export the full database or create a transportable tablespace.
