Merging Data Slices
The Merge Data Slices job merges incremental data slices of a cube. Fewer slices improve a cube’s performance. You can merge all incremental data slices into the main cube slice or merge all incremental data slices into a single data slice without changing the main cube slice. You can optionally remove cells that have a value of zero.
To schedule a job to merge incremental data slices in a cube:
- From the Home page, select Application, and then Jobs.
- On the Jobs page, select Actions, and then Schedule.
- In the General step of the Schedule Job page, select Merge Data Slices, enter a name for the job, enter information about when and how often you want to run the job, and then click Next.
-
In Job Details, select a cube, select whether to merge all incremental slices into the main slice or into a single incremental slice, and select whether to keep or remove cells with a zero value.
-
Review the details for the job, and then click Finish to run the Merge Data Slices job.
Note:
When you merge incremental data slices, you cannot undo this action.
