Essbase provides three types of partitions: replicated, transparent, and linked. For more information about deciding which type of partition to create, see About Partitions.
If you are editing a partition, you cannot change the partition type.
Note: | Replicated partitions do not apply to aggregate storage applications. For transparent partitions, aggregate storage databases can only be the source database in the partition. |
To specify the partition type and related settings:
Select Type.
Select the type of partition to create a partition.
Select the direction in which you want to track outline changes. This setting applies only to outline synchronization.
For replicated partitions, decide whether to allow users to update the target partition.
For linked partitions, enter the Default source login information.
Select Connection to continue defining the partition if you are creating a partition.
Either validate and save the partition, or select another tab and continue editing if you are editing a partition.
