Setting the Environment

Essbase includes two sample applications and databases that demonstrate the features of Partitioning:

The Partitioning applications and databases include partition definitions stored in .ddb files. The .ddb files define the map between member combinations in the target database, Company, and the source database, East.

For the Partitioning applications to work in your environment, you may need to create a user named partitionuser (see Creating the Partition User), or change the embedded user names in the .ddb files (see Changing Embedded User Names in Sample Partition Definitions).

Note:

Do not make changes to user name information directly in the .ddb files.
