11 Creating and Maintaining Partitions
To share data across multiple Essbase cubes, you can connect them using a replicated or transparent partition. Replicated and transparent partition definitions identify a source and target database and help you manage the flow between them. To integrate Essbase cubes with Autonomous Data Warehouse, use federated partitions.
Partition creation requires Database Manager permissions or higher. After you have created a partition, load and calculate the database that contains the partition. Loading and calculating the partition may require you to change existing rules files and calculation scripts.
For information about using the Essbase web interface to create and maintain partitions, see Link Cubes Using Partitions and XREF/XWRITE.
