Partitions contain the following parts, as illustrated in Figure 48, Parts of a Partition and described in Table 35, Parts of a Partition.
Table 35. Parts of a Partition
Part | Description |
---|---|
A flag indicating whether the partition is replicated, transparent, or linked. | |
The server, application, and database name of the data source. | |
The server, application, and database name of the data target. | |
The login and password information for the data source and the data target. This information is used for internal requests between the two databases to execute administrative and end-user operations. | |
A definition of one or more areas, or regions, shared between the data source and the data target. To share multiple noncontiguous portions of a database, define multiple areas in a single partition. This information determines which parts of the data source and data target are shared so that Essbase can put the proper data into the data target and keep the outlines for the shared areas synchronized. | |
A description of how the members in the data source map to members in the data target. Essbase uses this information to determine how to put data into the data target if the data target and the data source use different names for some members and dimensions. | |
Information about whether the partition is up-to-date and when the partition was last updated. |
