Opening the Create Partition or Edit Partition Window 

Open the Create Partition window to create replicated, transparent, or linked partitions. Open the Edit Partition window to edit replicated, transparent, or linked partitions.

To validate or save a partition, you must have Database Manager permissions for the source and target databases of the partition.

To open a partition that has been saved locally using Administration Services, import the partition. You cannot open partitions that were saved locally using Application Manager.

  To open the Create Partition window:

  1. From Enterprise View or a custom view, select a database.

  2. Under the database node, right-click the Partitions node, and select Create new partition.

    Essbase displays the Create Partition window.

  3. Follow the Creating Partitions procedure to continue to create a partition.

  To open an existing partition that has been saved to Essbase Server:

  1. From Enterprise View or a custom view, find the partitioned database.

  2. Under the Partitions node under the partitioned database, right-click a partition definition and select Edit partition.

    Note:

    If you do not see the Edit partition menu item, you need to first repair the partition before it can be opened for editing.

    The Edit Partition window is displayed.

  3. Make the necessary edits, and then validate and save the partition.

  To open an existing partition that has been saved to Essbase Administration Server:

  1. Select File, then Open.

  2. In the Open dialog box, select the Essbase Administration Server tab.

  3. Select a partition, and click OK.

    The Edit Partition window is displayed.
