Essbase Partitioning Option

When you use Partitioning, Essbase tracks outline changes so that you can synchronize the database outlines across partitions. Tracking outline changes slows restructuring, particularly when there are many structural changes.

If Essbase restructures data when you are using partitioning, perform the following steps to make sure that data is synchronized across partitions:

  1. Validate the partitions.

    See Validating Partitions.

    Note:

    To validate a partition, you must have Database Manager permissions or higher.

  2. Synchronize the outlines of the partitions.

    See Synchronizing Outlines.
