Process for Creating Partitions

When you build a partition, each database in the partition uses a partition definition file to record all information about the partition, such as its data source, data target, and the areas to share. Partition creation requires Database Manager permissions or higher.

After you have created a partition, load and calculate the database that contains the partition. Loading and calculating the partition may require you to change existing rules files and calculation scripts. See Understanding Data Loading and Dimension Building and Calculating Essbase Databases.
