How to extract fast from BSO Planning to ASO Reporting

Recently we have implemented a new BSO planning cube (for input purpose) and corresponding ASO cube for reporting. We have a process that Extract from BSO cube and load data to ASO cube. We are running this process every 15 min interval to sync our reporting cube with planning cube.
Well, I will not discuss here the merit of using BSO planning with ASO Reporting. But here in this blog, I would like to discuss certain way by which you can extract large chunk of data fairly quickly from BSO. Then you can load that data to ASO cube or do nothing and be happy that you did it and did it fast!
This process is much quicker than dataexport calc script extract (as per testing done in our environment). The process here is based on MDX extract to flat file from BSO with Java API. The same flat file can be loaded to ASO/BSO cube if needed. Key to your MDX query success? Keyword 'NONEMPTYBLOCK' in the query. It is complex to parse MDX output because of its weird format. But once you do that ‘Good thing will happen’...

Here is the code sample that we have used in our job that runs every 15 min to extract from BSO to ASO cube.



//Note1: Provide full path to your app/DB folder of target database as the value of filePath below. In case you are loading the extracted data back to ASO/BSO cube.

// Note2: We will extract data from BSO in flat file fileName

//Note3: Extracted data will be written in a format that do not require any load rule to load back into ASO or BSO. That is each row will have one dimension member from each dimension and a measure value. We will not load 0's or #Missing.

//Sample:

pln= IEssbase.Home.create(IEssbase.JAPI_VERSION);
// Sign On to the Provider
IEssDomain plnprovider = pln.signOn(s_userName, s_password, false, null, s_provider);
try {
cv = plnprovider.openCubeView("Mdx Query Extract", s_PlanningSrvName,s_plnAppName, s_plnCubeName);
System.out.println(new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis()) + " Connected to "+ s_PlanningSrvName +" "+
                                 s_plnAppName +" "+ s_plnCubeName);
mdxExtract(cv); // This subroutine will extract data from planning cube to flat file
               
} catch (Exception x) {
                System.out.println("Error: Extract to flatfile failed " + x.getMessage());
                x.printStackTrace();
                statusCode = FAILURE_CODE;
} finally {
                // Close cube view.
                 try {
                    if (cv != null)
                        cv.close();
                   } catch (EssException x) {
                    System.err.println("Error: " + x.getMessage());
                    x.printStackTrace();
                    statusCode = FAILURE_CODE;
                   }
