VALIDATEPARTITIONDEFFILE
Validates shared partition definitions.
Syntax
VALIDATEPARTITIONDEFFILE
Description
This command validates the specified partition
definition identified in the partition mapping definition .DDB
file.
During validation, Analytic Services checks the .DDB
file to ensure that:
- The area definition is valid (contains no syntax errors).
- The specified data source members are valid members
and map to valid members in the data target.
- All connection information is correct (host names,
database names, application names, user names, and
password information).
- For linked partitions, the specified default user name
and password are correct.
- For replicated and transparent partitions:
- A replication target does not overlap with replication target.
- A replication target does not overlap with transparent target.
- A transparent target does not overlap with transparent target.
- A replication source does not overlap with transparent target.
- The cell count for the partition is the same on the
data source and the data target.
You must issue the VALIDATEPARTITIONDEFFILE command for
both the data source and the data target .DDB
files. You need to log in to
each database and issue the command separately for each portion
of the partition definition.
For more information, see the Database Administrator's Guide.
