Specifying Connection Information for Partitions

You must specify a user name and password for Essbase to use when communicating between the source database and target database in a partition. Essbase uses the user name and password to transfer data between the two databases and to synchronize outlines. Local security filters apply to prevent users from seeing privileged data.

  To specify connection information for partitions:

  1. Open the Create or Edit Partition window.

  2. Select Connection.

  3. In the Data Source option group:

    • Select the Essbase Server, application, and database of the data source.

    • Enter the user name and password to use as the default login to the data source.

  4. In the Data Target option group:

    • Select the Essbase Server, application, and database of the data target.

    • Enter the user name and password to use as the default login to the data target.

  5. Select Areas to continue defining the partition if you are creating a partition.

  6. Either validate and save the partition, or select another tab and continue editing if you are editing a partition.
