Validates shared partition definitions.
Syntax
VALIDATEPARTITIONDEFFILE
Notes
This command validates the specified partition definition identified in the partition mapping definition .DDB file. During validation, Essbase checks the .DDB file to ensure that:
The area definition is valid (contains no syntax errors).
The specified data source members are valid members and map to valid members in the data target.
All connection information is correct (host names, database names, application names, user names, and password information).
For linked partitions, the specified default user name and password are correct.
For replicated and transparent partitions:
A replication target does not overlap with replication target.
A replication target does not overlap with transparent target.
A transparent target does not overlap with transparent target.
A replication source does not overlap with transparent target.
The cell count for the partition is the same on the data source and the data target.
You must issue the VALIDATEPARTITIONDEFFILE command for both the data source and the data target .DDB files. You need to log in to each database and issue the command separately for each portion of the partition definition.
