hi expert,
i got a question about partition.
i have some cube containing data without partition and i don't want to delete the data then do the partition. so i run the repartition directly and i found that:
after i ran the repartition , the table RSDCUBE didn't update the fields PARTMODE to 'X' but the fields (Partitioning time char. Lower limit (partitioning value) Upper Limit (Partitioning Value) and Maximum number of partitions) are updated.
i am wondering if it will affect the system or it is OK?
thank you!
i have read the online help,here is the explaination:
Repartitioning
Use
Repartitioning can be useful if you have already loaded data to your InfoCube, and:
● You did not partition the InfoCube when you created it.
● You loaded more data into your InfoCube than you had planned when you partitioned it.
● You did not choose a long enough period of time for partitioning.
● Some partitions contain no data or little data due to data archiving over a period of time.
it recommends that if you haven't do the partition, you can also use partition. the result is no update to table RSDCUBE. i am not sure if it will lead to any system dump or program error.
