Which two can be used to push data between cubes?

In Oracle Planning 2024, pushing data between cubes (e.g., from one cube to another within the same application) can be accomplished using specific tools. The two methods that facilitate this are:

A. Data Integration: Incorrect. Data Integration is used to import data from external sources (e.g., files, other systems) into Planning, not to push data between cubes within the same application.

B. Data Maps: Correct. Data Maps allow you to define mappings and push data between cubes (or applications) using Smart Push or manual execution. This is a primary method for intra-application data movement.

C. Copy Data: Correct. The Copy Data feature enables administrators to copy data from one cube to another within the same Planning application, specifying dimensions and members to transfer.

D. Import Data: Incorrect. Import Data is designed to bring external data into a cube from a file, not to push data between existing cubes.

Both Data Maps (with Smart Push for real-time updates) and Copy Data (for batch-style transfers) are explicitly supported for moving data between cubes, as per Oracle’s documentation, making B and C the correct answers.
