Re: DB partitioning vs semantic partition objects

Hi,

I hope I understood your question correctly. Database partitioning has to be defined before any data is transferred to the E fact table. The data is moved from F fact table to E fact table during compression. So the steps are in a chronological order:

1. Create the SPO-based InfoCube;
2. Define database partitioning in the template InfoCube (please note that you have to specify the entire range, from the lowest partition to the highest partition across all PartProviders);
3. Load data;
4. Execute compression.

At the tome of compression the data is moved from the F fact table to the E fact table. The data will land in the respective partition.

Best regards,

Sander
