Importing Partition Definitions

If you have Database Manager permissions, you can import partition definitions that were previously exported and save them to Essbase Server. You can import partition definitions from your file system or a network drive.

You can import only partition definition files with the .xml extension. When you export partitions using Administration Services, they are given the .xml extension. You cannot import .ddb files.

  To import a partition definition:

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

  2. Under the database node, right-click on the Partitions node and select Import partition.

  3. In Import Partition File, navigate to the directory containing the partition.

  4. Select a file and click Open.

  5. Validate and save the partition.
