Starting Cube Import Execution: the SetCubeImport Operation

Below is the example of using the SetCubeImport operation to start data import to cube. The request contains data loader moniker and startup parameters: execution is asynchronous. The operation results in the returned moniker that enables the user to monitor import status. The example of checking execution status is given in the Getting Information about Cube Import Status section for the GetCubeImport operation.
