Definition

This value specifies the maximum number of partitions for the fact table of the InfoCube to be created in the database.

The actual number of partitions comes from the homogeneous grouping of the values for the value range in a partition, so that altogether the desired maximum number is not exceeded.

Example:

Value range CALMONTH:        01.1998    to    12.2003

Maximum number (Partitions):            30

From the value range comes:    6 Years * 12 Calender months

                        + 2 Marginal prtitions (to 01.1998, from 12.2003)

                        = 74 Single values.

The system summarizes a partition every three months (that means, a partition corresponds exactly to one quarter); in this way

6 Years * 4 partitions/Year + 2 Marginal partitions = 26 partitions are created.
